They should have filled the burger with toro the way this restaurant fills their burger with short ribs and foie gras:

Sometimes getting a great burger can be worth almost anything.
Last summer I was on vacation at Cap Estel in the south of France. Beautiful place. The pool grill served a lot of fish and meat but did not have any burgers on the menu. After inquiring we were told it was no problem to get burgers for the next day lunch as a special request.
Next day had fantastic chesse burgers with fries. It really was one of the best burgers I ever had.
Cost - 32 Euros. Approx $43
Expensive, yes but sitting on the patio looking out over the Mediterranean drinking some good wine and eating a special order chesseburger....priceless.

Definitely. But for some reason after a week of fantastic fish and other assorted salads and meats I had a very intense craving for a cheeseburger. And even though the cost was high the quality lived up to the price.

I can well imagine. An American request. A French Restaurant. I'll bet that burger was particularly moist and juicy.

Be sure to try an emu, kangaroo or crocodile burger at The Summit in Sydney, if your main interest is the views and a relaxing drink.
In a scenic restaurant, overlooking the city, with a drink, I'd pay $35 for the burger, considering the cost per head would be triple that, omce drinks are considered.
It would be for the novelty and for the atmosphere of the place, not for the burger.

As for the Cheeseburger...I would expect a great burger that was a special request considering I was paying $900 a night for my room.
