It will sound weird if a burger costs Tk1,000 or more. But there is an absolutely reverse story in a Philadelphia eatery, which is set to offer a special gold-covered burger worth of $700 (almost Tk75,000) each.

In something of a gastrointestinal sensation that only the most affluent could stomach, the new "Gold Standard Burger" at DBG -- a revamped Drury Beer Garden -- will cost a wallet-busting $700 a plate.
“Burgers are one of the most loved food items around the world," George Tsiouris, who owns the establishment with his sister, Vasiliki Tsiouris-Balis, said in a statement. "We are excited to provide our guests some amazing, creative and tasty options with our new menu concept."
“My brother and I had so much fun creating this menu and we look forward to welcoming everyone," added Tsiouris-Balis in a statement.
