The burger called ‘The Golden Boy’ is as pricey as its name and comprises ingredients that are expensive and rare. According to the official website of the diner, it involves the use of ingredients like Beluga caviar, king crab, Spanish Paleta Iberico, white truffle, and English cheddar cheese.
While, the barbeque sauce spread on the patty is made with Kopi Luwak, which happens to be one of the costliest coffee beans in the world, the bun is made out of Dom Pérignon champagne dough and crowned with a gold leaf. Well, going by its ingredients, it sure looks like a golden boy, doesn’t it?

As per the reports of The National, the burger was sold to the Netherlands-based business conglomerate Remia International and later eaten by the chairman of the Royal Dutch Food and Beverage Association, Rober Willemse. The Chef ended up using the amount received after the sale of the burger to donate to an NGO.
In a statement to The National, Chef Robert Jan de Veen said, “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.”
