A Midtown restaurant will sell a $250 hamburger — an umami bomb comprised of Kobe beef, foie gras, crispy pancetta, white truffles and caviar. Ketchup and mayonnaise are complimentary.

纽约市中心一家餐厅将推出一种售价高达250美元的汉堡——这颗美味炸弹汇集了神户牛肉、鹅肝、腌肉、白松露和鱼子酱等高端食材。另外附赠番茄汁和蛋黄酱。

The Indulgence Burger at Beer & Buns, which will open later this month in The Court Hotel, is the latest mound of beef hoping to land the title of “most expensive burger” in the city.

这家餐厅名为Beer & Buns，将于本月底在纽约Court酒店开业。餐厅希望这个牛肉堆起来的汉堡能够摘得“最贵汉堡”的称号。

"We thought about charging $999 for it, but realized no one would buy that," says Abigail Tan, an executive with the hotel company. "For $250, someone may buy it and split it up."

酒店高管阿比盖尔称：“一开始我们想过定价为999美元，但是意识到绝不可能有人愿意买。如果只是250美元，总会有人愿意购买还能和人分着吃。”

There’s certainly enough flavor for two — and that’s part of the problem. Chef Wisit Panpinyo’s concoction is so rich with pancetta and foie that you don’t even taste the caviar.

其实只要两种食材，这款汉堡就够味了——这也是这款汉堡的不足之处。厨师潘皮尤过于突出腌肉的味道使得鱼子酱的味道几乎被掩盖了。

It's not the first time burger prices have been overcooked. Serendipity 3 offers a $295 patty with truffles, caviar, gold and even a diamond toothpick — but a portion of the price is set aside as a donation to the Bowery Mission.

其实这不是第一款天价汉堡。Serendipity 3餐厅曾推出过一款售价295美元的汉堡，其中包含了松露，鱼子酱，黄金甚至还有一个钻石牙签。但销售额的一部分作为捐款捐赠给了慈善机构Bowery Mission。

Two years ago, the 666 Burger food truck sold a “Douche Burger” of lobster, caviar, truffles, foie gras and gold leaf for $666. But the truck is closed until May.

两年前，666汉堡快车推出了一款名为 “Douche 汉堡” 的产品，其中包含了龙虾，鱼子酱，松露，鹅肝和金箔，并售价666美元，但这家店同年五月就倒闭了。

The original expensive burger was created by chef Daniel Boulud in 2001, when he combined foie gras and ground short ribs at db Bistro Moderne. The dish is still on the menu for $32 — but the truffle version is $140.

最早的天价汉堡是一个名叫丹尼尔的厨师在2001年制作的，他将鹅肝和排骨加入了汉堡中。目前这款汉堡仍售价32美元，但含有松露的款则要售价140美元。
