Since then, it has evolved not only into a fast-food staple but also a standing menu element for gourmets to deconstruct/reconstruct. Personally I'm more inclined to fish&chips, but that's subjective to say the least... Anyway, I've noticed a trend in burger reinventions recently. Most notable is this giant from New York's Wall Street Burger Shoppe.

At $175 the Richard Nouveau as it's been christened contains 10 ounces of Kobe beef, foie gras, exotic mushrooms, cave-aged Gruyère, fresh truffles, a brioche bun as well as a total of 750 milligrams of gold. Apparently someone has developed a taste for these artery-busting bombs of gluttony, because they have a standing order of two a week. To each his own, as they say, but I can't help but wonder what one orders to drink with this. A diet Coke? Or Dom Perignon? You tell me. And while we're at it, what would your ultimate burger look like?
