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 topped 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.
