Like the expensively priced Japanese-style <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wagyu\" title=\"Wagyu\" rel=\"wikipedia\" class=\"zem_slink\">Wagyu<\/a>, that they still flame-grill! Then they garnish it with Italian <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tuber_%28genus%29\" title=\"Tuber (genus)\" rel=\"wikipedia\" class=\"zem_slink\">truffles<\/a> which I&#8217;ve heard is some pretty good stuff, and has actually become even more popular because of the Hit Movie Ratatouille. If that isn&#8217;t enough they even stick in a slice of Spanish cured ham with a dash of  aged <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Balsamic_vinegar\" title=\"Balsamic vinegar\" rel=\"wikipedia\" class=\"zem_slink\">balsamic vinegar<\/a> and then garnish it with some Champagne onions. Of course this concoction isn&#8217;t good enough for your old sesame seed bun so they have to stick it in a saffron and truffle dusted bun just for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>Now while there are some diners who consider it to be simply &#8216;orgasmic&#8217; others such as myself think it is too bloody decadent. And I would hate to think how many starving people could be fed with the cost of just one of these special Burger King Burgers.
