# Deceptively Expensive Burgers The Million Dollar Burger Dinner Doesn't Devastate Bank Accounts By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-05-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-dinner References: [browardpalmbeach](http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/restaurants/adena-grill-and-wine-bar-offers-a-million-dollar-dining-experience-6969078) & [adenagrill](http://www.adenagrill.com/) Despite being named the 'Million Dollar Burger,' this novel burger dinner from the Adena Grill & Wine Bar is one that won't drain all your savings. The name of this seemingly extravagant dinner is in reference to the amount of money that was invested in Adena Meats, which supplies the steak house with its premium cuts of meat. When ordered, the burger arrives to diners partly disassembled, so that all of its unique parts can be appreciated. This includes a variety of ingredients like a whopping nine-ounce beef patty served with an organic locally-grown tomato, an onion coated in fried tempura batter and truffle mustard, topped with a brioche bun that's branded with an "A" for Adena. Although the burger doesn't cost a million, it sells for $25, which is still quite the luxury. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Premium Ingredients:** Exploring the use of premium, locally-grown ingredients in fast-casual dining experiences. - **Deconstructed Dining:** Taking apart classic dishes to highlight the unique flavors and components of each ingredient. - **Affordable Luxuries:** Creating high-end dining experiences that are more accessible to a wider range of customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Dining:** Incorporating deconstructed dishes with premium ingredients to create a luxurious fine-dining experience for customers. - **Fast-casual Restaurants:** Introducing premium ingredients into fast-casual restaurants to create higher-end dining experiences for customers. - **Gourmet Burger Chains:** Exploring the deconstructed gourmet burger trend with branded brioche buns and premium ingredients for a unique, elevated dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gold Leaf-Topped Sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rich-n-famous.md) - [Extravagant New Year's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empire-steak-house-nyc.md) - [Luxe Fast Food Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-truffle-table.md) - [Value-Packed Smashed Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-smasher.md) - [Bottomless Restaurant Burger Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-yummm-burger-deal.md) - [Elevated Truffle Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tycoon-burger.md) - [Health-Conscious Kidult Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-healthy-meal.md) - [Loaded Maitake Mushroom Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konya-wa-maitake-burger.md) - [Indulgent Seasonal Celebration Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-2324-top.md)
