A Midtown restaurant will sell a $250 hamburger — an umami bomb comprised of Kobe beef, foie gras, crispy pancetta, white truffles and caviar. Ketchup and mayonnaise are complimentary.

紐約市中心一家餐廳將推出一種售價高達250美元的漢堡——這顆美味炸彈匯集了神戶牛肉、鵝肝、腌肉、白松露和魚子醬等高端食材。另外附贈番茄汁和蛋黃醬。

The Indulgence Burger at Beer & Buns, which will open later this month in The Court Hotel, is the latest mound of beef hoping to land the title of “most expensive burger” in the city.

這家餐廳名為Beer & Buns，將于本月底在紐約Court酒店開業(yè)。餐廳希望這個牛肉堆起來的漢堡能夠摘得“最貴漢堡”的稱號。

"We thought about charging $999 for it, but realized no one would buy that," says Abigail Tan, an executive with the hotel company. "For $250, someone may buy it and split it up."

酒店高管阿比蓋爾稱：“一開始我們想過定價為999美元，但是意識到絕不可能有人愿意買。如果只是250美元，總會有人愿意購買還能和人分著吃。”

There’s certainly enough flavor for two — and that’s part of the problem. Chef Wisit Panpinyo’s concoction is so rich with pancetta and foie that you don’t even taste the caviar.

其實只要兩種食材，這款漢堡就夠味了——這也是這款漢堡的不足之處。廚師潘皮尤過于突出腌肉的味道使得魚子醬的味道幾乎被掩蓋了。

It's not the first time burger prices have been overcooked. Serendipity 3 offers a $295 patty with truffles, caviar, gold and even a diamond toothpick — but a portion of the price is set aside as a donation to the Bowery Mission.

其實這不是第一款天價漢堡。Serendipity 3餐廳曾推出過一款售價295美元的漢堡，其中包含了松露，魚子醬，黃金甚至還有一個鉆石牙簽。但銷售額的一部分作為捐款捐贈給了慈善機構Bowery Mission。

Two years ago, the 666 Burger food truck sold a “Douche Burger” of lobster, caviar, truffles, foie gras and gold leaf for $666. But the truck is closed until May.

兩年前，666漢堡快車推出了一款名為 “Douche 漢堡” 的產品，其中包含了龍蝦，魚子醬，松露，鵝肝和金箔，并售價666美元，但這家店同年五月就倒閉了。

The original expensive burger was created by chef Daniel Boulud in 2001, when he combined foie gras and ground short ribs at db Bistro Moderne. The dish is still on the menu for $32 — but the truffle version is $140.

最早的天價漢堡是一個名叫丹尼爾的廚師在2001年制作的，他將鵝肝和排骨加入了漢堡中。目前這款漢堡仍售價32美元，但含有松露的款則要售價140美元。
