yeah $41 is obscene for a hamburger, but the truth is, there was at least as much beef in that thing as five $8 hamburgers. I purposely didn't eat for 24 hours beforehand and I still couldn't finish it. plus, all those tater-tots must have cost at least 35 cents.

Have the Gothamists seen raw kobe beef? It's very marbled - about 50%fat! that's why it's so soft. One should drink a lot of strong, hot preferably black tea (pu erh) afterwards to wash away the grease. It works.

This has my vote for "most obscene" Gothamist post to date.

I think the shrimp might have numbed your taste buds, dude. But the amount of burger was excessive. I think I like the DB burger better.

i'll verify that- jen indeed had steak. and the burger, frankly, wasn't all that. it sort of tasted like a very large $6.00 burger. In fact, it was sort of mushy- maybe they are massaging those cows a little too much.

Daddy, I didn't have a burger - I had steak!

Wow, Jen this is the MOST expensive burger in the world. I think you just got ripoff.

I had a beef hangover this morning. Even after four toothbrushings, I could still taste beef.

Also, thank you, Ilise, for coordinating everything!
