I love cheeseburgers. I was the customer of the month at a national chain back in the 1980’s before I left North Dakota. I don’t need the gourmet treatment either—just lay on the cheese, ketchup, pickles and mayo and I’m good to go.

But there are gourmet burgers and some of them are ridiculously expensive.

Noted foodie publication Popular Mechanics (Huh?) has cooked up a list of "The 8 Most Expensive Burgers in the World" and the most expensive on the list is just down the road in Oregon but bring your checkbook because it will set you back $300,000.

How is that even possible you ask? Well this special burger is grown in a lab by Juicy Foods in Corvallis, Oregon. No word on if this burger actually tastes good, or why anyone would want to pay that much for a burger which by the way isn’t even made from meat. (Huffington Post)
