The World's Most Expensive Burger is Covered in Gold

I consider myself a burger aficionado, but I’ve never seen something as outrageous as The Golden Boy. Created by Robbert Jan de Veen, the owner of Dutch diner De Daltons, this delectable burger is a little more tempting than your standard cheeseburger.

This two-handed beast is chock full of luxurious toppings including Japanese Wagyu beef, Beluga caviar, Alaskan king crab, and white truffle. Not only is it packed with delicious goodies, but the bun of the burger is coated in edible gold leaf, giving it a regal feel.

Jan de Veen came up with The Golden Boy during the pandemic, and in a good guy move, auctioned off the burger with all proceeds going to a non-profit organization that assists food banks in the Netherlands.

“Restaurants were closed and there were no food competitions due to the pandemic. Though our food takeaway service was on, I was depressed. I was feeling bad seeing the sufferings of the masses and the dismal situation of the restaurant industry,” explained Jan de Veen. “Therefore, I decided to create the world’s most expensive burger and donate the entire income to charity to do good for the society.”

The lucky winner of the burger, Rober Willemse, chairman of the Royal Dutch Food and Beverage Association, paid a whopping $5,964 for the opportunity to bite into this deluxe eat.

The burger is currently under review by the Barcelona-based Official World Record Association to determine if The Golden Boy will be officially recognized as the world’s most expensive burger. Check out the full list of ingredients for this mouth-watering burger below.
