May 19 (UPI) -- What's covered in gold, costs $700, weighs 8 ounces and is edible in Philadelphia? Answer: a hamburger.
At the bottom of the main page of the menu at the Drury Beer Garden in Philly is not a cheese stake, but a burger. A very, very expensive burger.
For $700, you can get the Gold Standard. That's a Wagyu meat burger with caviar, fresh black truffle, lobster flambeed with gold leaf, topped with aged Irish cheddar and drizzled with honey.
Fries are included. As is a 1 ounce pour of Louis XIII Cognac, which fetches around $5,000 a bottle.
George Tsiouris, a co-owner of the beer garden, was quoted told local news station NBC10 the Gold Standard is about the joy of cooking.
"We are excited to provide our guests some amazing, creative and tasty options with our new menu concept," he said.
Tsiouris, however, said nothing of the gratuity that would come from a tab that included a $700 sandwich, though a 20% gratuity is added on to parties of six or more.

I wonder what percentage of buyers are woke?
I wonder what percentage of buyers are BROKE?...................
I’m open to suggestion, but those occupy a nostalgic place in my mind (from the late ‘70s).
So basically you’re paying for a shot of very expensive Cognac that comes with a burger and fries on the side.
No thanks. For me, it’s Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood, Texas. It’s BYOB, but that’s no problem. Across the highway is Fall Creek Vineyards. And if you aren’t in the mood for BBQ, Trattoria Lisina is a few miles down the road.
