Burger King Goes Black Tie
When hard times come, there are two ways to adjust your approach to fine dining: Change what you eat, or change where you eat it. If you're a fan of melt-in-your-mouth tender Kobe beef, you're in luck.
Burger King is preparing to add a Kobe beef burger to its menu, at least in London.
The home of the Whopper intends to charge a whopping £85 — well north of $150 — for the delicacy, which will be made from what it says will be top-quality Kobe beef flown in from Japan.
Rather than cheddar cheese and a pickle, the Kobe burger will be garnished with blue cheese and foie gras.
For traditionalists, there will always be Burger King onion rings and a fountain Coke to round out the meal. For an additional charge, of course.
