Happy National Hamburger Day, Let's Talk Burgers

<br/><br/>As with everything in this city, people will always find a way to transform something simple into something off the wall crazy, and some burgers got seriously tricked out this year. Pounds and Ounces unveiled the <strong><a href="http://gothamist.com/2012/08/20/open_wide_for_the_giant_fkn_foie_gr.php">$36 F&amp;Kn burger</a></strong>, which tops an 8 ounce patty with a ton of toppings, including foie gras. <br/><br/>A Times Square restaurant created <strong><a href="http://gothamist.com/2012/06/08/eat_your_nightmares_by_eating_this.php">"The Beast"</a></strong>, a half pound burger with cheddar, swiss, pepper jack, three strips of bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise and fried pickles served between <em>two grilled cheese sandwiches</em>. <br/><br/>But most egregious of all, the <a href="http://gothamist.com/2012/05/25/would_you_pay_295_for_a_burger_how.php">$295 truffle-and-caviar-specked creation</a> at Serendipity 3 and the $666, gold leaf-wrapped <strong><a href="http://gothamist.com/2012/05/25/would_you_pay_295_for_a_burger_how.php">"Douche Burger"</a></strong> from 666 Burger.
