Fast food is generally also cheap food, that’s what gave chains like McDonalds their appeal… so why would Burger King deviate from that by launching a $166 cheeseburger? Specifically, the £85 Kobe beefburger.

Maybe offering a slab of fancy shmancy Japanese luxury beef topped with foie gras and blue cheese was their way of competing with McDonalds who recently went higher end by offering fancy espresso drinks at the new McCafes and dressing staff in fancier uniforms.

I think its retarded. Offering a bit higher end options as in double or triple the normal price is a good idea, but this is waaaaay too jacked up. I ventured today and tried mcD's super huge bigMac with the 4 meat patties. It was about 30% higher than the regular. But this BK deal is just stupid
