why would anyone eat gold? It probably only has a vague metallic taste or no taste at all; and it can't be digested or used by your body so it'll just come right out your rearend. May be you can pay a friend to dig through your manure to harvest the gold.

the problem is not the one who sell it for 175$ or for 23243242343$ ...the problem is the one who pay for it! Michi

And that sushi thing is $500 per person. But again it ain't luxury. Luxury would be eating sushi off a dead hooker, harvested after you sit at the table.

i think its a good price. btw does anyone know how much the raw ingredients would run? Also when do we start seeing hundred dollar hot dogs?

I wouldn't pay a nickel for that burger. It looks like some doo doo butter on a bun. I'd like to see the nutritional facts?

Actually my burger is the most expensive hamburger in New York. It's a million dollars. It's almost pure gold. That you can eat. since I sprinkle hamburger on top of it. You Know seriously this is just another example of why I fucking hate rich people. Burgers are all the rage, so lets see if we can make it more twat-like and inaccessible to all those hipsters who made quality burger enjoyment all the rage. Well you know what, rich cunts. Fuck you. Burgers are so over anyways. What's in now is Nachos. Can't wait to see you cover that shit in mint spiced gruyere, seared salmon chili, and gold leafed jalepenos.

I am guessing the guy doing the interview got more than a burger. He got the chef special - if you know what i mean.

They need to combine this burger with the serving style of the Nude Sushi story. Plus for $175 someone should be standing there feeding you the burger. But I guess this is what passes for luxury these days.

I'm sure you'll get a serious case of the runs after eating that.

The Richard Nouveau is pretty clever name for the burger. It would've been funnier if they went the extra mile and called it the Nouveau Dick.

This seems kind of too rich to be edible. I think maybe a bite would be okay, but I'm pretty sure I'd vomit after any more than two bites...

agree with Aridginal. These slow news day fillers are just a waste of time. I'm selling a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for $10,000. wow, that's way overpriced. but wait, it has truffles. Every week or two, there's another stupid story like this -- either something with truffles, kobe beef, gold foil, or a diamond ring in it. who gives a crap.

"I wonder how many calories and how much fat?" Who Cares?! That looks damn GOOD. Gimmie Kobe Beef & Foie Gras: Both even themselves out. now I wont feel as bad eating plump tasty forcefed duck livers when mixed with the pampered, beer fed cows of Kobe.

Oh man, that would totally be worth the money!

stop giving these stupid people attention. anyone with a restaurant can charge an arbitrary price like that and get their publicity, this is boring, and wasteful, and cornier than all the losers in striped buttondowns piling out of stanton social which doesn't belong there in the first place.

That hamburger looks absolutely disgusting... like someone's dog took a shit on it.

I guess if you can afford that you can also afford to have a good cardiologist on call.

"10 ounces of Kobe-raised beef crowned with a thick “lobe” of seared foie gras, 25 grams of shaved black truffles, and aged gruyere cheese. It comes enthroned on a brioche bun anointed with a homemade truffled mayonnaise" I wonder how many calories and how much fat?
