World's Most Expensive Hamburger Wrapped in Gold

The world's most expensive hamburger (single portion) is wrapped in gold and garnished with caviar –priced at nearly 5 lakh BDT.

Not just in taste, but this burger redefines luxury. Each bite is infused with a golden touch. Wondering how? The burger bun is made with Dom Perignon champagne and is wrapped in 24-carat pure edible gold.

This luxurious and expensive creation includes 170 unique ingredients, including truffles, one of the most opulent culinary items. It's in the race to become the world's most expensive burger.

Dutch chef Robbert Jan de Veen is the mastermind behind this creation, which he is aiming to set a world record for. He has crafted a burger featuring the rarest and most exquisite flavors globally.

But how did he come up with making such a luxurious burger?

De Veen's restaurant De Daltons is located in Voorthuizen, near Amsterdam. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when restaurants in the Netherlands were closed, he reviewed Guinness World Records and decided to break a record.

The previous record was set in 2011 by a restaurant in Oregon, USA, whose burger cost €4,210. De Veen is attempting to surpass that with his €5,000 burger.

But what makes a burger cost 5 lakh BDT? What does it contain?

The chef explains that the burger has 170 unique ingredients. Among the key luxurious elements are white truffles, Iberian serrano ham, Beluga caviar, king crab meat, smoked duck egg mayo, Dom Perignon champagne-soaked onion rings, 24-carat gold, and truffle-infused English cheddar cheese.

The burger patty is made with Japanese Wagyu A5 beef, which is renowned for its flavor and tenderness. It is also made with chuck, short rib, and brisket cuts, making it truly special.

The BBQ sauce includes Macallan whiskey, balsamic cider vinegar, and Kopi Luwak coffee—uniquely derived from the droppings of a civet cat.

This exceptionally luxurious burger is served on a black plate, enclosed in a chamber filled with single-malt whiskey smoke, making the presentation captivating and mesmerizing.

However, amidst all this luxury, Chef de Veen has a noble goal. The proceeds from the burger sales will be donated to charitable organizations like local food banks, playing a crucial role in helping people in need.
