...this place didn't make our list...but should have.

The Wall Street Burger Shoppe, New York, N.Y.
Richard Nouveau Burger: $175

"McDonald's may have the golden arches, but New York's Wall Street Burger Shoppe has a hamburger that's literally covered in gold.  The $175 Richard Nouveau burger is 10 ounces of Prime Kobe beef topper with 25 grams of black truffles, seared foie gras, aged Gruyere and a double whammy of edible gold flakes; it's topped with a homemade 'golden truffle' mayonnaise that includes both gold flakes and black truffles.  According to co-owner Heather Tierney, 'it's kind of a work of art.' An extra bonus: The burger shoppe's hash browns are fried in luxurious goose fat"
