For real. http://www.newyorkmetro.com/pages/details/8995.htm

World Bar in Trump World Tower
Everything from the back-lit marble bar to the petrified-wood tables reeks of luxury (not to mention of Trump). And then, naturally, there's the World Cocktail, formerly known as the World's Most Expensive Cocktail. At $50, it's a combination of Remy XO, Pineau des Charentes, Veuve Clicquot, and various other ingredients mixed at your table on a spotless silver tray -- and crowned with a slick pool of 23-karat liquid gold. Take a deep sip while waiting in vain for a glimpse of Tower resident Derek Jeter.

It's because the booger (excuse me, burger ;) ) is made out of ground Japanese Kobe beef. Kobe beef is probably the tenderest and most expensive cut of beef in the world, so tender you don't need a knife!

Never had Kobe beef (never had a job that could justify buying Kobe beef and writing it off as a travel expense! :) ) but I feel it's sacrilege to grind it up to make it the world's most expensive hambooger. (Er... hamburger! :) )

They also put truffles in the burger. It is huge. They showed it on TV. Another restaurant had truffle soup for $60 a bowl. There are people starving on the streets and it costs $150 to have a bowl of soup, a burger, and a cocktail. :rolleyes: I'll go to Mickey D's!

Unless they are putting gold in the burger, it's not worth $40.

If the restaurant sucks and it sucks, if there are complaint forms fill them out, if its the servers fault don't leave a tip.

The idea of champagne and cognac together isn't terribly appetizing. But will you be there to try to catch a glimpse of pretty boy Derek Jeter, Cream?;)
