The most expensive burgers we track
The priciest burgers on any menu we hold, in the market that charges the most.
The top of this table is not where you think it is. Premium ranges, Angus lines and limited editions put the dearest burgers in some unexpected markets, and a strong currency does the rest. Every figure is the real menu price in that market, converted at the weekly rate, and links to the menu it came from.
