The Honky Tonk restaurant might not sound glamorous, but it is home to the 'Glamburger.' Created by head chef Chris Large, the glamburger retails for an astronomical $1,800. So, what makes this burger so special? For starters, it features beluga caviar, smoked duck egg coated in gold leaf, maple syrup bacon and [black truffle brie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-seor-frenchie). The bun is dusted with Japaense match, mayonnaise and again, golf leaf -- because what burger is complete without thinly hammered sheets of precious metal? The burger is garnished with mango and champagne jus, and is served with a [Canadian lobster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-mushroom-bacon-cheeseburger) for good measure. I know you don't think there could be anything heftier than the price tag, but there is: the calorie count clocks in at an astonishing 2,618! You'll be leaving this meal with your pockets empty and your zipper undone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Extravagant Food:** Creating food items with exorbitant prices and luxurious ingredients can attract attention and cater to the desires of wealthy consumers. - **Gourmet Fast Food:** Combining high-quality, gourmet ingredients with the convenience and accessibility of fast food can create a unique and indulgent dining experience. - **Food Presentation:** Innovative and extravagant food presentations that utilize rare and visually appealing ingredients can captivate customers and create a memorable dining experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fine Dining Restaurants:** Fine dining establishments can explore the concept of creating outrageously expensive and indulgent food items to attract high-end clientele and generate buzz. - **Gourmet Burger Chains:** Upscale burger chains can experiment with using premium ingredients and innovative flavor combinations to cater to customers seeking a high-end burger experience. - **Event Catering Services:** Event catering companies specializing in exclusive and luxurious events can introduce extravagant and visually stunning food presentations to elevate the overall experience for guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indulgent Seasonal Celebration Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-2324-top.md) - [Cheesy Quad-Patty Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-yeti-super-one-pound-beef-burger.md) - [Chef-Backed Premium Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wagyu-burger.md) - [$1,000 Lobster Roll Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-roll-kit.md) - [Loaded Maitake Mushroom Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konya-wa-maitake-burger.md) - [Mammoth Milestone-Celebrating Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/125-lb-fatburger.md) - [Cheesy Quad-Patty Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-the-one-pounder.md) - [Extravagant New Year's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empire-steak-house-nyc.md) - [$1000 Bourbon Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-most-expensive-bloody-mary.md)
