The Dot Com Lunch At Feenies
written by John Chow
Last Saturday, after our normal Dot Com Pho, I wanted to set up another dot com lunch at Feenie’s restaurant. The reason I wanted to go there was because Feenie’s has one of the most expensive hamburger in the country. I asked the other fellow dot com pho bloggers to come along. Amazingly, all of them agreed.
The Feenie Burger starts at $16 but you can add extra stuff to it to bring the price to $54. Add in tax, drinks and a 17% auto tip because we had 8 people and you’re looking at a $500 lunch. The burger is made from 100% certified Angus beef, served medium with sauteed mushrooms, cheese and bacon. We went all out and added the pan seared foie gras, and beef short ribs. The waiter told us that the maxed-out burger has 4,000 calories. And if you add in some poutine, like Stephen Fung did, the count goes to a heart attack inducing 6,000 calories!
Attending this dot com lunch was Ed Lau, Stephen Fung, Michael Kwan, Leo Chiang, Gary Ng, Greg Mogan, Sarah and myself. It was a great lunch. I am looking forward to doing it again.

Is that snake on the burger?
snake?
That’s foie gras.
Nothing beats a good slab of duck liver. What is Poutine?
Isnt it gravy or some type of cheese gravy?
Poutine is a French Canadian invention. French fries smothered in gravy with cheese curds… Go to Montreal and you are sure to find and sample the best poutine there is…
Chips (French Fries), Cheese and Gravy is our national dish. We’ll have to come up with a fancy name for it.

Do they have a discount on veggie burgers? Say maybe just $50 instead of $54
The veggie burger is $14.
And you get laughed at by the kitchen staff
I think the Veggie burger has 34% autograt, instead of 17%!
Snake? Do you like it
I have an idea to open a MC Snake 
Were you able to finish the entire burger? How much did it weigh?
Yes, we all finished. I tossed half of the bun because after squeezing the giant burger in my hands for a few bites, it moved and eventually became excess bread.
It was probably a good pound and a half I’d say, in total.
For some reason, everyone had greasy fingers except me. My ninja burger eating skills strike again! I was also the first to down the whole thing
I even used some of the bread from the bread basket to soak up all the grease. Delish! 
It’s not too late to become a vegetarian!
Oh the cow is in the house everyone shhh… Hey Cow do you like Mc Snake?
Nice job on the radio ‘cow’, real etensive vocab you got there.
Mooooo for everything
Who on earth cares how much the burger weighs or if Chow finished it. Big deal. We now know you’re obsessed, Shaaawn.
Wow it makes me hungry.
Dude…that burger was soooo good. My heart is skipping beats periodically…in that case, it’s time for a power nap to burn some calories.
I just woke up from my nap. What was up with that weird hail storm anyways? I still taste foie gras.
Holy heart attack lunch!
Hec, I’ll only charge you $400. Come by my house and I’ll cook you up a meal like no other!! Afterall, I did cook on ranch for years;)
That’s a BIG burger!

wowsers, those burgers are just plain ridiculous. i have never seen anything like that.
Doesn’t seem like a lot of burger for $600!
In some countries I bet you could buy at least one cow for that price, you’d had burgers for a week or two.
Yeah but they wouldn’t have foie gras on them.
haha yeah true, but if you don’t wash them you’d have regular grass, don’t know much about the taste difference but hey grass at least.
…grass? What are you talking about?
I don’t tihnk he knows what Foie Gras is
Haha, foie grass!!!
Sorry, I’m delirious from exhaustion right now so everything is funny.
In my country you can buy a cow, a lamb, 5 chickens, 3 ducks for that price!
There were eight of us.
okey then, for a day or two.
You guys seem to know how to do it right… was it worth the 6k calories? John you look a little burgered out…
Stephen was the only one dumb enough to add the poutine. If we don’t see him for Dot Com Pho on Saturday, we will assume he had a heart attack and died.
Hey, I finished first even with the poutine and except for the McHeadaches, I feel just dandy!
Who in their right mind would pay that much for a burger!?!
someone that has the money?
Yeah because “those” people are lame
Good thing we were in our left mind.
Why not?
[...] it. The $50 price tag also held me back. Well, I finally caved into the Dot Com pressure and the Evil John Chow made reservations for us this afternoon.The Feenie burger itself is $16 (comes with fries), the [...]
All I know is that once again John succeeded in making me really hungry.
Well, we just got through eatin’ a bacon cheeseburger and it only cost $6.00 per plate. It came complete with curly fries and homemade peach cobbler!
wow more than $54 for a burger? I promise that when I make more money than you JC x 100 I will go there and visit you
Oh no. More food?!??! Making me hungry there, John.
I’m making some Chinese tea right now to counteract the grease . . . and a couple digestive enzyme pills too
I immediately went to Starbucks after and got a green tea…
I am also drinking tea myself…frickin hell, I’m sweating foie gras!
I made a hole coffee pot full. I’m on my second pot.
…wow. I eagerly anticipate the day when I can spend $54 on a burger and not work a double shift to make up for it
How does the $54 Feenie burger compare to the “Diva at the Met’s” $34 DC burger? By the way, these prices are pretty fair - in London you can’t find a burger for less than £20 in a decent restaurant.
More food posts, please!
Burger + Decent Restaurant. Something just doesn’t sound right there.
Holy crap what a burger.
I want one.
