The $175 Hedge Fund Whopper (with fries!)

For those traders and fund managers looking for a way to spend their windfall oil profits, Wall Street Burger Shoppe now offers a $175 burger and fries platter. As per usual with these expensive burgers, the beef is all-kobe, and there is plenty of foie gras and truffle oil to go around. But what I want to talk about are the french fries. They appear, in the picture, to be wrapped in newspaper. NEWSPAPER? Sweet Enola Gay, at $175 that better be a vintage New York Times from the day the Titanic sank or I want my money back. Also, you’d think they could afford some high class ketchup.

Well, many people would argue that Heinz ketchup is the only ketchup worth having…

Well, I’d at least like the option of something that makes me feel special for spending the week’s grocery money on a single burger.
