Most Highly Priced Fast Food in the World – How Much Money You Are Ready to Spend?

Convenient foods, prepared and served quickly, are commonly referred to as “fast food” worldwide.  Some fast food items tend to lean more toward being solely gourmet which results in higher prices.   The cost of premium ingredients increases each time a gourmet product is produced.

In recent studies, Dublin, home of Trinity College, was dubbed for having the world’s most expensive hamburger meal.  In Dublin, the mediocre price of a hamburger meal at an intermediate priced fast food restaurant averages about $9.16 (in US dollar amount).   In cost comparisons of contrasting geographical areas, the price is $3.00 more expensive than a hamburger meal in New York.  Venture to Paris and you will be paying $7.88.  You will find the lowest priced burger in Johannesburg for only $2.50.

Another pricey burger was created in Jakarta, Indonesia at the Four Seasons Motel.  This burger is thought to be the world’s most expensive hamburger in history.  The burger is an interesting unification of the East meets the West.  The finest Japanese Kobe beef is used in preparation of this tasteful burger, along with wasabi mayonnaise, Italian Portobello mushrooms, French pears along a side of fries.

In price comparison between a hot dog and a hamburger you would tend to think a hot dog would be much less pricier.  Shockingly, the United Nations has sold what is known to be the most expensive hotdog at Norrmalmstorg.  This hotdog was rolled in a selection of toppings and condiments and priced at a whopping $145.  And yes, this was only for one hotdog!

A “limited edition” French fry was invented and titled the Lincoln Fry.  This unique French fry contained the profile of Abraham Lincoln.  This special French fry was featured in 2005 in a McDonald’s ad at the Superbowl.  This fast food item has since been auctioned off on EBay and sold to the Golden Palace Casino.  Proceeds of nearly $22,000 went to the McDonald House Charities.

A famous pizza called the “Pizza Royale 007” was prepared using an organic pizza base, topped with edible gold sheets, fine cognac marinated lobster, champagne soaked caviar, sun blush tomato sauce, Scottish soaked salmon, and venison.  This pricey pizza was created by a Glasgow based restaurateur by the name of Domenico Crollo and sold for x2,150.  The proceeds were generously donated to the Fred Hollows Foundation.  This foundation aims in helping the prevention of blindness.

Let’s face it; all nationalities are obsessed with fast food.  In an American survey, studies show that about ¼ of all Americans eat fast food at least once per day.  Rather than eat cheaply priced fast food, (which is very highly processed), people are willing to go over the top for high quality food.  Just how far they plan to go depends on the size of the wallet.  Fast food is here to stay with higher standards in ingredients.   Yes, it’s surprising how much money a person will spend to get the product their pallet desires.
