"US Restaurant Serves $700 Gold Standard Burger with Edible Gold Leaf"
A Philadelphia burger bar is offering a $700 cheeseburger called the "Gold Standard" which includes 8 ounces of Japanese wagyu beef, aged Irish cheddar, caviar, black truffle, and lobster flambeed in cognac, all topped with edible 24-karat gold. The burger also comes with fries and a 1-ounce pour of Louis XIII Cognac, which costs $5,000 per bottle. Some critics argue that no burger should cost $700, but the restaurant offers a cheaper "smash" burger during happy hour for under $3.
