Our food, elsewhere, burger king, expensive burger, fast food, silly

Burger King To Offer $185 Burger Made With Wagyu Beef And Cristal Champagne

Yes, this is another installment in our continuing coverage of how "American" fast food is eaten in other countries. In our last episode you met the "Angus 6-pack" a giant burger meant to be pulled apart into smaller burgers. Today Burger King would like to introduce you to "The Burger." It's their attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World records for the most expensive burger. Yawn. Here's where it gets more fun: The Telegraph asked some people on the street to sample the burger and tell them if it was worth $185 (£95.)

In case you were wondering why it costs $185, the burger is contains wagyu beef, white truffles, a saffron sprinkled bun and tempura onions prepared in Cristal champagne. Enjoy.
