Chef Gordon Ramsay is something of a specialist in hamburgers. Its restaurant group comprises 35 restaurants, several of which specialize in them. And he is no stranger to the ladies. In fact, his restaurant inside London’s Harrods department store even has a $ 106 hamburger on the menu.

But in the first episode of his newest show, “Gordon Ramsay’s American Road Trip”, the restaurant owner tasted a fancy burger seven times more expensive than that.

Ramsay brought his two friends and cohosts, Gino D’Acampo and Fred Sirieix, to Las Vegas (“one of the most competitive cities in the world for cooking”, according to the famous chef) to try a $ 777 burger at Burger Brasserie , a restaurant located between Paris Las Vegas and Bally’s Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.

In predicting his meal, Ramsay joked that they were tasting “an absolute class hamburger. A hamburger that will blow your minds. A hamburger that will cost $ 777”.

According to Ramsay, the pub is known for its 777 hamburger, made with American Wagyu hamburger, lobster meat, American goat cheese, pancetta, foie gras, arugula and 100-year-old balsamic vinegar.

After tasting it, D’Acampo and Ramsay thought it was delicious. “Lobster and foie gras really worked,” said D’Acampo, “that I didn’t expect to go together.”

But Sirieix was unable to overcome the price tag. “It’s okay,” he said. “I just can’t seem to calculate the price and taste.”

“Enjoy! It’s Vegas!” Ramsay clapped his hands together. “I mean, it’s disgustingly expensive, but it’s delicious!”

Judge “MasterChef” says Las Vegas currently has “the largest collection of top-notch chefs anywhere in the world” and that “even the humble hamburger has been elevated to an art form” in the city known for its huge hotels and casinos .

The burger also comes with a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne, which also puzzled the French chef.

“Why would you have that kind of champagne with a burger?” he asked. “It is sacrilege.”

Regardless of the price and the combination of champagne, Ramsay maintains his opinion that when it comes to hamburgers, “no one is bigger than Burger Brasserie”.
