Fred Katayama from Reuters reports that a New York burger joint named Wall Street Burger Shoppe is selling a gold-flecked Kobe beef burger fried in foie gras for a meager $175. Reuters says $175 but the online menu (PDF) lists the Richard Nouveau Burger at $150. Here's the listing from the restaurant's menu. It could be that this is the burger minus the gold flecks.
Katayama notes in his video report that downstairs you can get a regular burger for just $4.
Chef Charlie Palmer offers a quick 20-minute recipe for paillard. You can use different meat such as pork or chicken but Palmer is using beef tenderloin in this video. He then grills it for two minutes on each side. Once the meat is done Chef Palmer places it on top of a plate containing soba noodle salad. Other salads can also be used such as a tomato, cucumber and mozzarella salad. You can see the recipes here and the video is below.
