Honky Tonk's Glamburger costs a ridiculous £1,100

Would you pay £1,100 for a burger?

Honky Tonk, a restaurant in Hollywood Road off Fulham Road has invented The Glamburger, which it says is the world's most expensive burger.

The burger patty is made from 220 grams of Kobe Wagyu beef minced with 60 grams of New Zealand venison to perfectly balance the fat content, and a rich center of black truffle brie to create a liquid pocket once the meat has cooked.

The burger patty is then seasoned with smoked Himalayan salt and served with a Canadian lobster poached in Iranian saffron. On top of the lobster, creator of the burger, chef Chris Large, has added maple syrup-coated streaky bacon, Beluga caviar and a hickory-smoked duck egg intricately covered in edible gold leaf.

The bun is seasoned with a Japanese matcha and cream mayonnaise and coated in gold leaf. Finishing touches come in the form of a mango and champagne jus and grated white truffle.

We don't know whether anyone has actually ordered this concoction, but for those with more sense than money, the restaurant assures us it also serves normal burgers at ordinary prices.
