Fez's Bucs Meal to Get More Expensive?

[kevin5967]

After hearing the bet that Fez has on his beloved Tampa Bay Bucs, you have to wonder if the price just went up after reading this in Page Six today:

THE Old Homestead has already been dethroned as home to the city's most expensive hamburger.

Superchef Daniel Boulud has just upped the ante with his own whopping $50 burger - knocking the Old Homestead's $41 Kobe Beef number, introduced just last week, off its pricey pedestal.

Boulud's new and improved DB Burger is an even more luxurious version of his $29 original, which held the title of the city's most expensive until Old Homestead set out to trump it.

The new burger, which will be available at Boulud's DB Bistro Moderne starting next week, adds layers of fresh shaved black truffles to the successful formula of ground sirloin and chuck stuffed with fois gras and braised short ribs, and topped with horseradish mayonnaise and tomato on a fresh-baked parmesan bun. It will be served not with fries but with pommes souffles, or crispy potato puffs.

Jesus! DB's "signature" burger was difficult enough to eat completely as it was.

Perhaps I should "chance my arm" and try the new one next time I visit my friends at the Algonquin Hotel.

Do the potatoes come in a flower pot?

For $50 that better be served on gold plates that you can take by bikini-wearing waitresses

I'm so broke I can't afford to pay attention.

With all the talk of the big prices, what I want to know is how big are these burgers? They can't be your run of the mill standard size burgers. Are they as big as a dinner plate, a sewer cap? I would pay the price but not for some little foo foo burger that's gone before I can enjoy the taste.

No, the meal can't get more
expensive!!

Fez is cheap remember that! He
WOULD spend the money if he
had it. And besides, he brings
over a Carvel ice cream cake
everytime Ron pays for the
pay-for-view. (Hysterical!)

I saw the more expensive ($50?) burger on the news last night. It's large, but filled with crap other than steak. Kinda reminded me of when my mom would make burgers and put onions and peppers mixed in with the meat. blech. As for potatoes, I'm with Jon; they taste best out of a flower pot.

I'm intrigued by the Kobe beef burger but the $50 doesn't intrest me as much. The idea that the meat alone is worth $41 is one thing, wrapping sirloin around a rib and throwing on a bun sounds good but it is something thrown together so this original restaurant can get the title back. And if they were charging $29 for a sirloin burger I wouldn't bother.

The original DB Bistro Moderne "burger" is actually very good. I was taken there on my birthday the first time. It is no oversized "MacDonalds" burger. It is not like this "nouvelle cuisine" pieces of crap either where the food looks pretty but is tiny.

I agree that DB is engaged in "one-upmanship" to regain the title but Daniel Bouloud is also interested in how food tastes.

Places that pander to the purely "fashion" food crowd could serve a braised dog turd to to them. These places however do not last long as repeat business is not forthcoming.
