Say “Super-size Me!” and You Can Have a Side of $50.00 Fries and a Small $25.00 Coke with That


I don't think that's the record. When I was in college, way back in the eighties, there was a restaurant called Colonel Chutney's that sold a one hundred twenty-five dollar hamburger.

It was their regular hamburger — quite tasty on its own — covered in a red wine source, which was the source of its extravagance. No ordinary red wine, it was a late fifties vintage Petrus, or something. They reduced it down with some mushrooms and some butter and gave you a glass to drink with your meal — or so they said.

I dont' think anyone ever ordered it.

Perhaps, that's why it's not in the record books.
