The Old Homestead Steakhouse in Florida has not, up until now, had a hamburger on it's menu. So, when it finally decided it was time, they went a bit overboard. Mixing prime American with Japanese Kobe and fine Argentinian beef, the massive 20 ounce burger comes garnished with all sorts of organic greens and rare mushrooms.
Boca Raton Mayor Steven Abrams could barely speak between bites as he devoured the 20-ounce, $100 hamburger billed as the "beluga caviar of sandwiches."
"Heaven on a bun," restaurant owner Marc Sherry said.
The burger debuted Tuesday at the restaurant in the Boca Raton Resort and Club, where a membership costs $40,000 and an additional $3,600 a year.
Now, even though it's not likely they read Blue Crab Boulevard, we still say they missed a real opportunity to get a very reasonably priced supply of meat. We think that's poor planning on their part.
Buck and a quarter for a burger is way too much for this old boy. Now, if they left out all that chewy beef and used pure fresh streamed #1 Blue Crab backfin lump instead, I might be willing to pony up, but only if they threw in a lifetime membership and some hoochie koochie girls for the evening.
