Occupy stories too much for your sensitive soul? Well, listen up, you money-to-burn thug: Using a version of his acclaimed truffle hamburger, Umami Burger founder Adam Fleischman created the Money Is No Object burger. What does it feature? Well, it starts wil a hand ground and formed patty made from one single cow and dry aged. ("The beef is extremely rare grass-fed Wagyū," we're told. The burger is then topped with Grade-A Hudson Valley foie gras, an onion marmalade and reduced 1977 Croft Vintage Port. gilding the entire thing off, Fleischman adds a 1/4 inch of freshly shaved Italian white truffles, which are now in season now.
The MNO Burger is available during truffle season and via advance order for private parties at a jarring $100 each. (For a taste, pre-order at the Marina Umami, 415-440-8626.)
Pricey? Of course. But it's still a better deal than two frozen In-N-Out double-double burgers delivered for $56.
