# Luxury Junk Food Caviar Burgers at Serendipity3 By Howard Wu | Published 2008-05-12 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-burger-serendipity-menus References: [afunworld](http://www.afunworld.com/food-pictures/picture-637.htm) & [01757dc.netsolhost](http://01757dc.netsolhost.com/food.htm) You know you have a selective palette when you order a caviar burger. I did a quick Internet search which revealed the Caviar Burger is an actual menu item at Serendipity3, located in New York. The same restaurant known for its [$25,000 dessert](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/25000-nyc-dessert-guinness-record-frrrozen-haute-chocolate) does indeed serve such a luxury burger, complete with cucumber slices and sour cream, for a mere $17.50 US. While it isn't the exact burger pictured here, I'm sure the concept is not lost. With this opulent dish being a reality, it remains to be seen whether this idea will become marketed as the new Western sushi, or the Asian burger.
