If you're a burger fiend, this list may just become a bucket list. Sampling these insane
burgers during your travels will be an awesome way to expand your culinary horizons and maybe
earn bragging rights at the same time. These are the burgers that the whole world is talking
about. The top 10 most insane burgers you want to eat.
The FleurBurger 5000 Is A Refined Choice
This is one insane burger. The amusingly-named Fleurburger 5000 is ultra-gourmet. That's
why it retails for five grand. You may ask yourself, how can any burger be worth five
thousand bucks, but this isn't even the most expensive burger on our list. So, what sets
the Fleurburger 5000 apart from the types of burgers that we eat at fast food joints
like McDonald's, Burger King and Five Guys? Well, the Fleurburger 5000 is the creation
of Hubert Keller. He's a famous chef who has an eatery called Fleur, which is situated
in Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay casino resort. Keller is highly-regarded in the culinary
world. He's a superstar. To create the Fleurburger, he sears a Wagyu beef patty and bastes it
in real butter until it's cooked to perfection. This type of beef retails for about one hundred
dollars per pound. The butter-basted beef is just the beginning. Chef Keller goes one
step further by searing some slices of the very best foie gras. Foie gras will generally
set you back about forty-five bucks a pound. Then, he mixes duck fat with butter and sautees
a heap of black truffles. This particular variety of truffles goes for fifteen hundred
dollars per pound. This rich array of high-priced ingredients are then arranged on a newly-baked
bun. Naturally, the bun is a Brioche. Chef Keller isn't putting these choice ingredients
between two slices of Wonder Bread.

The Luther Burger Is Salty-Sweet Perfection
If you love salty-sweet flavor profiles, you may want to treat yourself to the Luther burger,
which is rumored to be the culinary creation of legendary record producer, songwriter,
and singer, Luther Vandross. While this crazy burger may be too much for most people, it's
just right for those who want burgers that go to extremes. When you bite into a Luther
Burger, you'll be noshing on a beef patty flanked by glazed doughnuts. The doughnuts
take the place of typical hamburger buns. With the Luther, cheese is optional. This
interesting and unique burger is not going to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Its calorie count ranges between eight hundred and fifteen hundred. Enjoy it in moderation.
While this burger may have been one of Luther Vandross' fave snacks, rather than his invention,
it's something that everyone can enjoy. Another option is heading for Dunkin Donuts or Krispy
Kreme and stocking up on classic glazed doughnuts. It'll be easy to grill your own beef patty
at home and put the whole Luther Burger together. You may want to buy a roll of Tums and eat
a few for dessert.
The Seven Emirates Burgerstack Doesn't Come Cheap
Dubai is a playground for the rich. It's a place where people of means go to flaunt their
wealth, soak up the sun and enjoy shopping and fine dining. If you're interested in exploring
Dubai, you may also be interested in partaking of the epic Seven Emirates Burgerstack. This
burger is the most expensive out there, with a price tag of ten thousand bucks. It was
purchased in Dubai by the owner of a United Arab Emirates magazine. The burger was featured
at a special event called Pink Bite. You'll be happy to know that the high price tag for
this burger had a purpose. Proceeds from its sale were used to further breast cancer awareness
and research. This outrageous Burgerstack was created inside of The Dubai Mall, at the
Galeries Lafayette. Some notable ingredients included a seven-spice mix, a Harrisa sauce,
and veal bacon. It was served the gourmet way, in a Brioche Bun. Since this burger helped
everyone to learn about breast cancer, it's a culinary winner. The person who bought it
enjoyed a decadent burger and also helped medical research. While getting your own Burgerstack
might be tough, even if you can afford to live it up in Dubai, you can always make your
own. Imagine a burger that looks like a dramatic Dubai skyscraper and go from there.

McDonald's Land, Sea, and Air Burger Is a Secret Menu Item
Secret menu items are all the rage and one crazy McDonald's secret menu item is the Land,
Sea, and Air burger. Have you heard of the Turducken, which is a roasted combination

this sounds delectable or outright gross really depends on your own culinary sensibilities.

This 190-Pound Burger Is So Insane
Is bigger better? The makers of this one hundred and ninety-pound burger think so. This burger
was produced by Mallie's Sports Grill and Bar in Detroit, Michigan. It measured two
and half feet in height and weighed in at one hundred and ninety pounds. Of course,
it was too much for a single person, so a big crew of Detroit residents gathered to
make mincemeat of this mammoth burger. The group was determined to polish off the biggest
burger in the world. People shoveled ground beef into their mouths and more ground beef
kept coming. How many pounds of this burger could you eat? This burger took sixteen hours
to make and three guys worked on it before it was served. The challenge to eat it all
was led by Adam Richman, of Man v. Food. In the end, the group, who grew increasingly
pale, bloated and sick-looking as they bravely shoved chunks of the burger into their faces,
managed to consume one hundred and sixty pounds of it. They didn't win the challenge. The
world's biggest burger kicked their butt.
Could You Finish The Sasquatch?
This crazy burger is called the Sasquatch and you can get your very own Sasquatch at
the Big Foot Lodge in Memphis, Tennessee. The Big Foot Lodge is conveniently located
right in the heart of Memphis' downtown core. When you order the Sasquatch, you'll receive
a cheeseburger that weighs in at four pounds. The burger only costs $19.99, which is pretty
good value, considering the escalating cost of fast food burgers these days. If you manage
to choke down the Sasquatch in an hour, without any help from other people, you won't need
to pay a single penny for your burger. Also, your pic will go up in the eatery's Hall of
Fame. To date, only one person's picture is displayed on the wall, but you could be the
second. This burger tastes great. There's just a lot of it to eat. It's beyond most
people's capability to finish the Sasquatch.
Gordon Ramsay Dissed The Cowboy Burger
Would you serve chef Gordon Ramsay a burger that he couldn't even get into his mouth?
One hapless executive chef did, during a memorable episode of Ramsay's addictive reality TV show,
Kitchen Nightmares. It was called the "cowboy burger" and, like the rest of the burgers
at the troubled Los Angeles eatery, Burger Kitchen, it did not pass muster with Chef
Ramsay. You may remember this particular episode of Kitchen Nightmares because of the
cowboy burger, which featured an absurdly thick beef patty. You may also remember it
because the restaurant owner confessed that he used his own son's inheritance to open
the restaurant. So shady! Family drama, as well as crazy-bad burgers, were definitely
on the menu during the show. Ramsay did his level best to help, but Burger Kitchen was
destined to bite the dust, along with the restaurant's signature cowboy burger. The
cowboy burger was atrociously overpriced at 39 bucks. What's hilarious about this misshapen
burger is how out of proportion its bun is to the beef patty. The bun seems tiny and
it just makes the whole burger look ridiculous. It also makes it almost impossible to eat.
Gordon cut the cowboy burger up with a knife and fork, and then popped a piece of the burger
into his mouth. It did not please his palate. Since Burger Kitchen is no more, you'll need
to re-create the Cowboy Burger at home. If you dare.
Discover the Octo-Mac Cheeseburger (The Corporate Giant Burger)
Ok, it's time for the last crazy burger on our list. Babbletop laid down the gauntlet
by challenging Greg from Ballistic BBQ to make this massive burger and he earns the
top spot as he definitely rose to the challenge. Could you scarf down a burger with eight patties,
instead of the usual one or two? If you think that you're up to this loco burger challenge,
prepare your own Octo-Mac Cheeseburger...and then try to eat the whole thing. It's a version
of a classic Big Mac, with loads of extra beef to make it special...and insane! This
burger is so mammoth, a stick needs to be put through it just to keep it upright. Greg
began by mixing mayonnaise, mustard and an array of other tasty ingredients to make a
homemade Big Mac-inspired sauce for the Octo-Mac. Then, he started creating the eight patties
from 80/20 ground beef. He used metal burger rings to shape uniform beef patties. After
using the burger rings, he placed parchment paper over the patties and then used a rolling
pin to smooth them out. The parchment paper and rolling pin contributed to a perfect finish.
Once the burgers were the ideal shape, thickness, and size, he firmed them up by placing them
in the freezer while he got his grill going. When it was time to start grilling, this BBQ
Master was really in his element. He estimated the total weight of the octo-patties to be
one and three-quarter pounds. Compared to typical Big Macs, which are sizable, substantial
burgers, a 1-3/4 pound burger is huge. It's a mega-burger. Greg toasted burger buns on
the grill as he tended to the eight patties. Once they were cooked to juicy perfection,
he layered them with homemade Big Mac sauce and slices of American cheese. Pickles, lettuce,
and onions were also added to boost flavor and texture. The completed burger "behemoth"
was a sight to behold. No matter how much it was squashed, it just wouldn't fit into
the chef's mouth. Greg decided to slice it, to show us all what it looked like on the
inside. Then, he crammed the slice into his mouth. Thanks to Greg from Ballistic BBQ for
taking on this epic food challenge and being such an awesome sport. Greg, you really rocked
it and you helped us to discover the wonders of the juicy, zesty, fun and very satisfying
Octo-Mac Burger.
