DBG in Midtown Village has a $700 burger on the menu. Any way you cut it, writes MikeNewall, it’s an absurd abundance of really expensive things.
So it makes sense that George Tsiouris and Vasiliki Tsiouris Balis, sibling proprietors of the Drury Beer Garden, wanted something flashy to compliment their new $2.95 happy hour burger. What they decided on was a $700 cheeseburger.menu of their Midtown Village eatery. Any way you cut it, it’s an absurd abundance of really expensive things. It includes wagyu beef, aged Irish cheddar, Italian black truffles, caviar and lobster flambéed with Louis XIII cognac.
Not bad eats for the casual drinking spot, where crowds of twenty-somethings can pair bar snacks, like nachos and pickle chips, with specialty cocktails, like the Philly Dilly whiskey shot. “We thought it would be interesting if we not only have the cheapest burger in town, but the most expensive one too,” said George Tsiouris.Forget the town. The gold-wrapped burger looks to be the most expensive burger in America. For a time, there was French Chef Hubert Keller’s $5,000 burger in Vegas.
The budget-busting burger comes during the restaurant’s latest redesign, the Tsiouris’ said. Originally opening it in 2011 as Opa, they’re rebranding it to simply “DBG.” It remains decidedly casual, but boasts sleek new touches, like a bar lounge mural of Benjamin Franklin listening to headphones. The Gold Standard burger is what’s making the noise though. And like the saying goes, laughed George Tsiouris, any publicity is good publicity.
