The Dot Com Lunch At Feenies

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.

i had a $20+ (even more expensive than us dollars :roll: ) with a fried twinkie and egg. :razz:
this is before my anti candida detox which i am now on. it was my last dinner.

you need to watch your weight dude....

I'm sorry, I couldn'y help myself. I was laughing so hard I almost pee'd on myself. It looks like a turdburger. Sorryyyyy!

Man.. that burger looks too good to be true! I want onee... :twisted:

I guess once in a while one must pamper oneself with 4000 calories and $500 lunch.
The burger definitely looks YUMM and I am sure if it comes in front of me I would forget the calories in it and just grab to eat it.

Well that is realy expensive to pay more than $50 per burger.

Although... If I ate a hamburger like that I'd probably die now instead of on Dec 12th.

Hmmmm! Fine!
I just wana eat also a hamburger :twisted:

You guys are just giants consuming 4000 calories of food! :mrgreen:

Wow, John Chow's eatin' mighty well! ;-)

YOu guys sure love to have lunch! :lol: heheh...share some for me....hehehe

this is EXACTLY the reason i could never be a vegetarian...

I almoooost went there when I last went to Singapore. Yes, they are dang expensive.

Huhuhu..
I like it.. I wanna one..

John, Next time you will organised dot com lunch, don't forget to call me, :razz: a star in the dot com business in the making www.blog.shankerbakshi.com but yeah u 'll be the idol for me, for many.

Yuk - I hate foie gras. It tastes disgusting and it is so unethical. I almost had a huge row with a waiter at Gleneagles because he more or less tried to force the stuff on me. And he went on and on about how their geese were well looked after while they were force fed. It almost put me off my dinner. No wonder your burgers were expensive if that was what was on them.

I will make it to lunch before my death date Dec 12th Check out more http://www.charleshighsmith.com

It's almost dinner time and I don't feel hungry!

Same, but I'm drinking up all the tea in China.

I had two slices of pizza to help digest my burger--it's not working for some reason. :???:

Holy crap what a burger.

I want one.

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.

...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 :shock:

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! :idea:

I made a hole coffee pot full. I'm on my second pot.

Oh no. More food?!??! Making me hungry there, John. :shock:

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 :roll:

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!

Who in their right mind would pay that much for a burger!?!

someone that has the money?

Yeah because "those" people are lame :roll:

Good thing we were in our left mind. :twisted:

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!

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?
