Hard Rock Cafe is now introducing what it is calling its "most extensive menu innovation in Hard Rock Cafe's history" with the first-of-its-kind 24-Karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger. The half-pound steak burger is stacked with leaf lettuce, vine-ripened tomato, red onion, Tillamook cheddar cheese and a luxurious and edible sheet of 24-Karat edible gold leaf.
Through the Hard Rock Heals Foundation, a portion of all proceeds from Hard Rock Cafe's new 24-Karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger will help to support Action Against Hunger.
To kick off the launch of its innovative and edible gold-garnished steak burger, Hard Rock Cafe held an event at the Hard Rock Cafe New York Times Square featuring plenty of live music from bands and DJs.
