You see, this talk about the most expensive hamburger, it’s a real head-scratcher. Back in my day, a burger was a burger. Meat, bun, maybe some onions if you’re feeling fancy. Now they got all these fancy things, make you pay a fortune! It’s all gotten way out of hand, I tell ya.
I heard tell of a burger, they call it “The Golden Boy”. Sounds like some kinda movie star, not a food. And the price? $5,964! For a hamburger! Can you believe that? What in the world could make a hamburger cost that much? It’s pure craziness. That’s more than some folks make in a whole month.
They put some fancy beef in there, they call it Wagyu. Sounds like something from Japan or some such. And some fish eggs, that caviar stuff the rich folks eat. It must taste like money, all them fish eggs. And king crab, white truffle! Truffle, that’s them mushrooms that grow in the ground, ain’t it? Now, why would you put that on a burger? Just eat it alone, I say.
And that ham, aged for 36 months. Three years! It better be good after all that waitin’. This most expensive hamburger, it ain’t for regular folks like us. Nope. It’s for them fancy folks with more money than sense, I reckon.
Then there is this place, I heard of it, “De Daltons”. It is a restaurant in Dutch. They make this “Golden Boy”. I think they just want to show off, that’s all it is. Show how much money they can get people to spend on a silly old burger. $5! That is a lot of money. They even said that it is the most expensive hamburger in the world.
I remember when a burger was just a burger. You went to the diner, got yourself a burger, fries, and a milkshake. And it didn’t cost you an arm and a leg. Now you got Shake Shack, Five Guys, Smashburger. What is with them names? It is all too much, I tell ya. They got more money than sense! And they all trying to be the best, the fanciest.
- Shake Shack
- Five Guys
- Smashburger
And McDonald’s, well, they used to be cheap. Now they got all sorts of burgers. The cheapest one, a regular hamburger, is still cheap. But they got one, a big one, with bacon and cheese, that’s more expensive. It is the Double Quarter Pounder. They got fancy, too. Double Quarter Pounder with bacon and cheese, it sounds silly to me. They think if the name is long, people will think it is good.
Then you got these other places, In-N-Out Burger. People say it’s good. It is the whole “experience,” whatever that means. It’s the way they put it together, the stuff they put on it, the whole place. I don’t know. It’s just a burger to me.
And they talk about how the price of burgers is going up. Up, up, up! Everything’s going up these days. I heard that in Midwest, the burger is most expensive, $2.65! That’s just for a plain one! Can you believe that? The West is $2.58. The Northeast is $2.54. The South is $2.50. It is not cheap anymore.
I tell you what, you want a good burger, you make it yourself. That’s what I do. Get some good ground beef, make a patty, cook it up on the griddle. Put it on a bun with some lettuce and tomato. Maybe some onion if you like. That’s a good burger. And it won’t cost you a fortune, neither.
This most expensive hamburger stuff, it’s just a bunch of nonsense. It’s for folks who want to throw their money away. Me, I’d rather spend my money on something useful. Like a new pair of shoes, or a nice pie. Or maybe some seeds for the garden. Something that’ll last, you know? Not some fancy burger that’s gone in a few bites. And you will be hungry again in no time. And if you want to talk about the most expensive hamburger, there you have it. That “Golden Boy” is something I would never try.
They say you can get burgers at Wendy’s, Burger King too. They are all the same to me. Just meat and bread. Nothing special. And the price keeps going up! It’s a shame, it really is. This whole world is going crazy for a burger, I tell ya. It’s just a burger! This is the end of it. You will not hear me say more about it.
