Fla. restaurant sells $100 hamburger

BOCA RATON, Fla. - A hundred bucks might buy you more than six dozen
burgers from McDonald's, but the swanky Old Homestead Steakhouse will
sell you one brawny beef sandwich for the same price.

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.

"We've never had a hamburger on our menu here so we really wanted to go
to the extreme," Sherry said, calling it "the most decadent burger in
the world."

At about 5 1/2 inches across and 2 1/2 inches thick, the mound of meat
is comprised of beef from three continents - American prime beef,
Japanese Kobe and Argentine cattle.

The bill for one burger, with garnishing that includes organic greens,
exotic mushrooms and tomatoes, comes out to $124.50 with tax and an 18
percent tip included. The restaurant will donate $10 from each sale to
the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Sounds like aircraft ownership.

Which would cost most of us at least $200.

Why don't they just sell me the darn burger for $114 and let me do what I
want with the $10. g

And isn't it nice of them to automatically figure in a $18 tip so you won't
have to strain your brain figuring out how much to leave? ?

40K to join, plue 3.6k a year, and $125 per burger, and they're
making a big deal out of donating a lousy 10 bucks? Out of courtesy
to the group, I won't say what I think of these folks.

I've heard they'll make it a cheeseburger for no extra charge.
