Is this Michigan’s priciest burger?

BIRMINGHAM, MI – Want to grab a burger? Grab your wallet.

The Rugby Grille at Birmingham’s toney Townsend Hotel sells its Foie Gras Burger for $55, making it possibly the priciest burger in Michigan. Forget everything you think you know about burgers before sinking your teeth into this one.

Yopek described his creation as “pretty much an opulent hamburger” to The Birmingham Eccentric. The eight-ounce burger, on the menu for three weeks now, is made of waygu beef, sweet onion jam, seared foie gras, arugula, braised short rib, parmesan aioli, burgundy truffles and Thomasville tomme cheese, and with a side of burgundy truffle fries.

Food blogger Grace D. of Birmingham raved about it on Yelp:

“First time dining here and it was delicious. Sat up at the bar and had a nice glass of wine with the new Foie Burger. This Burger is outstanding! Served on a delicious brioche bun with braised short ribs, onions, liver, a slightly sweet sauce and topped with melted cheese. Served with a side of truffle fries, which require no ketchup! Yummy!”
