$165 burger at Brisbane’s Burger Urge: Gold-leaf bun, truffle fries

A Brisbane diner has added a $165 burger to its menu for a one-off event later this month. It’s no normal fast-food offering, but is it worth that price? Read our review.

Known for its weird and wacky burger combinations, Burger Urge in Windsor has taken its latest menu addition to new heights with a simple night out to escape the weekly spag bol dish – but potentially costing hundreds.

The Nouveau Riche, or “New Money” burger, will set you back a whopping $165 and will be served only during an exclusive event at the Windsor eatery.

The burger will feature a juicy Wagyu patty, edible flowers, a gold-leaf potato bun, truffle fries and finished off with a glass of Cristal champagne.

Burger Urge’s marketing manager Gene Munro said the latest addition to the menu had been made to turn heads and bring a classy side to the humble burger.

“Think of John D Rockefeller being old money and new money being the rapper who replaced his hair with gold chains … or basically any social media post by Kendall Jenner,” Mr Munro said.

“That’s this burger.”

The event, which has even piqued the interest of the Gold Coast’s Candyman, will include a full gold-class dining experience with an exclusive VIP cordoned-off area and a red carpet entrance.

The Nouveau Riche event will take place on Thursday, April 27 with the question remaining: would you pay $165 for a burger?

Isabella Holland’s review

The Nouveau Riche burger sounds fancy – and tastes amazing.

Burger Urge’s new offering, which translates to “new money”, is made up of a juicy Wagyu patty, smoked egg, edible flowers, gold-leaf potato buns and truffle dust.

Now if the idea of eating gold-leaf potato buns sounds unfathomable to you, the price won’t do you any good either.

If you can bring yourself to dropping $165 on the “burger experience”, you’ll be treated to one of the best tasting fast-food offerings you’re likely to get your hands on.

This perfectly cooked burger will melt in your mouth.

Coupled with a glass of Cristal, this meal goes down an absolute treat.

The truffle fries will also leave you wanting more.

A total of $165 may seem steep, but it’s definitely worth it when you factor in the edible flowers and gold leaf bun.

It is a must-try.
