“#World\u2019s most expensive burger sold for $5,964<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Making such an expensive burger was actually quite the challenge, says its creator.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Restauranter Robbert Jan de Veen was ironically inspired by the needy to create the priciest burger in history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was feeling bad seeing the sufferings of the masses and the dismal situation of the restaurant industry,\u201d the owner of Dutch restaurant De Daltons told Abu Dhabi-based publication The National, Esquire Middle East reported<\/a>. \u201cTherefore, I decided to create the world\u2019s most expensive burger and donate the entire income to charity to do good for the society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rober Wilemse, chairman of the Royal Dutch Food and Beverage Association, paid $5,964 for Veen\u2019s creation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ingredients complement each other very well and the flavors are intense,\u201d Wilemse said of his experience consuming the obscenely priced meal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Veen\u2019s unique way of raising charitable funds was also inspired by a lifelong desire to be a world-record holder. While confirmation of the burger\u2019s status is pending the Official World Record Association\u2019s confirmation, Veen is confident he\u2019ll receive it: The current Guinness World Record holder for the most expensive burger is a $4,971 situation sold by an Oregon restaurant in 2011.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indeed, Veen did his best to construct a hamburger that at least somewhat lived up to its record-breaking price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To do so, he opted for a veritable menu of extravagant ingredients, including Japanese wagyu beef, beluga caviar, Alaskan king crab and white truffle, Esquire reported. And he invested a good deal of time, too: The burger \u2014 which he named \u201cThe Golden Boy\u201d \u2014 took him nearly nine hours to prepare.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the lavishness of the high-priced meat sandwich, Wilemse noted that he still used his hands to eat it, as that is the only way a decent person devours one, no matter the context.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though this burger is extremely costly, you should still use your hands because that is the only way to eat a burger,\u201d Wilemse said, adding, \u201cSince the bun is covered in gold leaf, your fingers will be golden by the time you finish.\u201d<\/p>\n
