These Arab guys can spent money as the most
expensive juicy burger in the world has sold at a charity auction in Dubai for
$10,000.
The giant burger contained seven beef patties; one for each of the
emirates in the United Arab Emirates, aged cheddar cheese and veal bacon strips
in a saffron brioche bun.
It was prepared by Russell Impiazzi, culinary director at Le Gourmet in
Dubai's Galeries Lafayette, and a member of Qatar's royal family, Sheikh
Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Thani who says
"Two years ago
we broke the world record by selling one burger for $7,000, and this year we
wanted to top that. All proceeds will go to breast cancer awareness and free
detection at an earlier stage."
The winning bid was made by Asma Al Fahim, founder of Dubai
lifestyle magazine Villa 88.
The auction was run by Pink
Caravan, which campaigns to raise awareness of breast cancer. Al Fahim said she
wanted to support a good cause and honor former Pink Caravan director Ameera
bin Karam, who died in a house fire last year.
The pricey burger was one of four that were auctioned, alongside several other dishes. The sale raised a total of $29,633.
