Groupon has announced a deal with Honky Tonk restaurant in Chelsea, London, to offer one customer the chance to eat the World’s Most Expensive Burger – the Glamburger.
On sale at £1,100, the burger has been certified by Record Setters, as of 2 October 2014, as being The Most Expensive in the World, and was created to celebrate Groupon’s five millionth food and drink voucher being sold.
Made from…
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. Atop 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. The finishing touches are a mango and champagne jus and grated white truffle.
The gold Glamburger took three weeks to develop in the kitchens of Honky Tonk, with chef Large experimenting with ingredients and methods before settling on his final recipe. The burger has been specially created for the Groupon deal with only one lucky winner getting the chance to taste the exclusive dish for free.
Five millionth voucher
Roy Blanga, Managing Director at Groupon UK commented, “To celebrate selling our five millionth food and drink voucher, we’ve partnered with Honky Tonk restaurant to create the World’s Most Expensive Burger for one lucky person. A winner of one of our Local Stars awards, Honky Tonk has a reputation for offering some of the best burgers in London. We’re committed to delivering new and exciting dining experiences for our customers, whether it’s your local fish and chip shop or a Michelin-starred restaurant.”
