New York City’s 666 Burger food truck has a treat for you. For just $666 you can purchase a foie gras-stuffed Kobe patty covered in Gruyere cheese that’s been melted with champagne steam and topped with lobster, truffles, caviar, and a BBQ sauce made with Kopi Luwak coffee beans that have been pooped out by some sort of animal called the Asian palm civet. The whole thing is then served in a gold-leaf wrapper. It’s called the Douche Burger, and, yes, it really is for sale. Franz Aliquo, 36, co-owner of 666 Burger, explains why.

The idea came from our deep-seated disgust and hatred of all the other douche burgers out there. A burger is about meat, bun, and cheese. All of this other stuff just ruins the flavor.

We were talking about terrible overtopped burgers one night, and my girlfriend at the time said, “Somebody should just make a burger and pile all the rich people stuff on it and it would be the douchiest thing in the world.” So we’re like, “Yeah! We’re gonna do it.” We got our license for the truck, and we’re on the streets about three days a week now. We took everything that people socially associate with rich people food and threw it on a burger and made it the most expensive, disgusting burger ever.

Glad to see that there are rich enough people out there willing to throw their money away. It's a burger not your house mortgage.

It depends where you live for starters. Minimum wage here is 10.25. Then take into account my computer science, A+ cert and MS certs on top of that and there you have much higher paying jobs. When i was working IT i got almost 30 an hour to sit in a room and play wow lol

If it wasn't for the caviar, it would probably be a tasty burger. Basically a surf and turf on a bun (with the other douchy stuff thrown on too).

A burger with ocean bugs, fish ejaculate, fungus, animal sh--, and metal? Yeah no thanks. I wouldn't eat that even if it was free.
