NYC Restaurant charges $175 for a hamburger

I thought that $50 steak I ate the other day was expensive. Well a restaurant in NYC which caters mostly to wall-street types server this item for $150:

Thats right, its a $175 hamburger. The hamburger is plenty tasty in that it is made with Kobe beef topped with gold flakes, and smeared foie gras. Sounds delicious, but not $175 worth of delicious. Its mostly sold to people who down a few beers and then fork over $175 to impress friends.

This is actually a pretty good business plan because you only have to sell very few of these to get back your initial cost since your profit margin is like 2000%. No matter how much you charge, there will always be someone willing to pay for it.
