Talk About A Whopper!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Wacky, Tacky & True
Burger King is set to launch the world's most expensive burger ever at a fast food restaurant!
The burger will even make Guinness World Record history, beating out 1994's American Double Truffle Burger.
B.K.'s latest creation is simply called The Burger.
It will include flame grilled Wagyu Beef, topped with white truffles on a truffle bun.
The Burger is going to cost £95, so a bit over $185.00!!
Thankfully, this is only available in the U.K. In America, people can barely pay for their gas!
It is being described as having "The world's most succulent Japanese beef complemented with white truffles, onion tempura prepared in Cristal champagne and Italy's finest Pata Negra prosciutto."
Many believe this is clearly a publicity stunt.
Sounds like one to us. Hey, it worked.
One critic says, "This is just a PR stunt, even more absurd than the coffee costing virtually as much as a semi-detached house in Crewe. Burger bars are desperate to move up market as more people question why they are filling their bodies with fast food. But who will really spend £95 in Burger King?"
As for B.K., their vice president of marketing, David Kisilevsky, has said "The Burger is an extension of Burger King's quality burger menu and is aimed at burger aficionados, looking for the ultimate burger taste experience. It reflects our ongoing commitment to producing the best quality burgers for a range of different pockets and reinforces our quality credentials."
Too bad we're on a diet and trying to eat healthy.
We could so go for a Burger right now!
mmmmm, i want one!!
Oi aspar 1st!!!!
Perez you fat phuck
ummmm first
Last time we went to Burger King my husband was just about to take a bite out of his burger when the kid on the next table projectile vomitted all over the place. We can't erase that memory. Ever.
whats with the food posts today? falling off the wagon are we mario?
I LOVE YOU BRITNEY SPEARS!
CHIEN
are you kidding me?
Barf…. They've lost thier buger flippin minds!
Keep it up perez- love that healthy you!! You'll make it to a filthy ol'man yet!!
Perhaps all the money they make out of this could go towards cleaning the all the trash and wrappers left outside their Wrexham restaurant. The place constantly has litter outside.
Hey Perez, eat my BIG MAC.
la pata negra es de españa y no de italia!!!
WOW!!! All this luxury at… Burger King?????? I think even the Brits can find a better way to spend $185. What's next, a $50 bag of fries? Pathetic!
last time i checked, gasoline is WAY more expensive in the UK than the states.
Yo Perez, I was gonna say about your diet, in pics lately you've been lookin so skinny! Good for you, keep it up!!
Well geez Perez, you make it sound like gas prices only skyrocketd in america when its doing it worldwide! We're not the only ones with the problem!
i thought this burger was made for charity. im pretty sure i saw that on the news! Good burger 4 a good cause….
Might want to compare european gas prices to the us gas prices. It's much worse over here, stop complaining!
Moron, gas is MORE expensive in the UK and Europe than in the US.
People are poorer than you can imagine in the UK. Get informed wanker.
""""Thankfully, this is only available in the U.K. In America, people can barely pay for their gas!""erm . . . Hello????? petrol is far more expensive in the UK than the USA, plus no one can get hold of it cos everyones on strike i think you need to do some research perez.
It's been out for a while now, you idiot. About 50 people have bought it.
By the way, gas is WAY more expensive in the U.K than in the U.S., like 3 times more expensive…
I bet it still tastes like ass, like all of BKs other burgers. Just a £95 ass burger… not that I know what ass tastes like, I'm just sayin'… it probably tastes like ass.
Ummm…American's pay WAYYYY less for gas than they do in the UK or anywhere in Europe for that matter. Hell 30 minutes away and you pay almost double for gas in Canada. The last time I was down south in Washington gas was $3.89 a gallon. If I do a bit of math (keeping dollar on par) that's way less than than the $5.40 BC residents were paying for the same amount at the time. So shad up about the cost of gas!
Yeah I want to eat a $200 burger made by pimply faced, nose picking teenagers!
Perez you failed to mention that the profits from this burger are going to charity!
Course its a PR stunt but at least there giving the money they get to a good cause!
Umm perez do your homework, in england they are paying in excess of $10 a gallon and many gas stations have to close early because they are running out of fuel due to the government rationing fuel.
No Way!
I refuse to pay $2.00 for one of their average burgers!
Blech
You can eat a burger - just without the bun, no mayo, no cheese.
Good luck on your eating healthier (it's not really a diet but a lifestyle change). It feels good when you get it off!
God i am so sick of Americans complaining about their gas prices! In Britain the average cost for a litre of petrol is about £1.30! thats like over 2 dollars!
get over it. you have it cheap compared to us!
Does anyone else realize that the gas in Europe has ALWAYS been more expensive than in Amaerica..and it still is. So the comment on "we can barely pay for our gas" is ridiculous and doesn't make any sense…
Japanese Beef that's a laugh. Does that even exist???
I guess if it it's shipped from Canada, Australia or the US and then
Repackaged.
A burger similar to this (maybe the same one, idk) was brought out at Harrods ages ago. It cost £85 and about 50 people have bought it so far I think. x
hey dork, you know how much gas is in Europe? You're an ass.
perez, you're an idiot. Gas prices in the UK are and have always been astronomically higher than those of the United States. They had the kind of prices we have now years ago.
they still pay more for gas in the UK than we do…
"Thankfully, this is only available in the U.K. In America, people can barely pay for their gas!"
thats a bit stupid cos gas prices are FAR higher in the UK than in America. Americas gas prices are the 110th most pricey in the world whereas the UK is 8th.
either way tho, waaay too pricey for a burger.
OMG!!!!
WTF!!!!!
Nobody is going to by this ball ov crap!!!!
i live in the UK and i dont know a single person who would pay that much for a lump of pure fat!!!!!
ewwwwwwww!!!!
They have gone MAD!!!!
Love u Perez!!!
am i the only one how doesn't know what wagyu beef is? WTF is wagyu? if you wag me i'll wagyu…perez, you look great!
Hello! Gas is lcoming up to $12 a gallon in the uk!
Do a bit of research Pretz
PEREZ, have you ever had a Wagyu steak from Japan? My friends took me out to an expensive restaurant when I lived in Florida and they treated me to this steak. You don't even need a knife to cut it. It's amazing…
Perez, I'm heading out with my boyfriend as I have a weekend off… finally!! Have a great weekend and when are u coming here to chicago!??!?
xoxoxoxo
You idiot. You know they pay triple and quadruple for gas in the UK than you Yanks, right?
If I want a great burger, I will get it anywhere but Burger King.
Naw, petrol's more expensive here.
you do realize the Uk pays more than twice the amount of money for gas than we do (here in the USA)!! they pay around 10 dollars!!!
THEY PAY MORE FOR GAS IN THE U.K. THAN WE DO, STUPID ASS.
if you're gonna report on something for god's sake make it the full article. this whole burger thing was done for charity. maybe it would make more sense to people if you pointed that out. maybe you need to stop promoting yourself and take some time out to get this site back to what it was - you have a lot of impressionable young people reading your bullshit & believing every word. at least take some responsibility and make sure the thoughts you plant in their feeble little minds are correct - is that too much to ask or are you too busy looking at yourself in the mirror?
Anyone who orders that burger doesn't know the extra topping. Low wage workers will be pissed when having to make that burger they won't make a profit from. Spit, hair, pubes, etc will adorn this new expensive burger. Yum!
Stop whining about the gas prices! Us norwegians pay about 3$ per litre. That is 0.264 gallon. If you want cheaper mileage, try swapping to a more economic car. It's your own fault if you're driving a car that's chunking down gas like a camel kept from water for 2 weeks.
Yeah right…. and they have qualified chefs preparing these burgers? Probably some high school dropout who got promoted from the french fry station to burger duty.
Perez, Who's we're "Too bad we're on a diet "???
I heard People with Emotional Problems speak like that!?

Was dying to react on your idiotic comment on petrol prices - but everyone beat me to it. Try bursting your insular uninformed USA bubble prior to posting international news.
Hmm…. it's not like gas in any cheaper in Europe than in the US.
So people in the U.K can afford this, HA yeah right. Gas prices are high all over the world Perez, compared to here, you guys have CHEAP gas….!
IN AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN BARELY PAY FOR THEIR GAS?????
UM….. SHUT UP PEREZ!
YOUR 'GAS' IS A LOT CHEAPER THAN THE UK'S 'PETROL' NOW.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU START POSTING RANDOM RUBBISH!
perez, people can barely pay for their petrol in england!!!
sod the burger.
love you perezzzers!!
One word:
why?
Im sure the teen being payed minimum wage wont spit on this pretentious piece of shit,ya.
gas is even more expensive in the UK, perez!! you americans have the cheapest petrol in the western world so i wouldn't complain about that.
People who work at Burger King do not even know what truffles are much less higher quality beef.
Gross.
Pata Negra is a Spanish ham, not Italian.
It's a huge bug bear when I hear Americans compaining constantly about the price of Gasoline. $4 a gallon!!!!! Shock horror. In the UK petrol costs around $12 a gallon. You Americans should give thanks for how LOW your petrol costs are and be grateful for what you have.
I think you need to do some more research before you talk about Americans barely being able to afford gas, over here in the U.K. petrol - or gas to you Yanks - is twice as expensive at even the cheapest petrol station, and three times as much at the dearest. Add in the fact that we earn less on average than you guys and I don't think you are really in a position to talk about not having the money to buy stuff.
This burger is a dumbass idea though, with Elvis dead I cannot imagine what idiot would spend that much on something to eat.
News Flash Perez! Gasoline in the UK is far more expensive than in the states. Unlike the USA our government doesn't give us financial pats on the head and give us cheap gas!! IDIOT!
You can still eat burgers on a diet! Just work it into your calorie count.

But if you're looking for something really low in calories (only 90 a patty I think!) try Boca burgers. They're vegan too.
