Tilman Fertitta’s Houston Hotel Is Now Serving a $1,600 Burger | Eater Houston

"At Uptown’s Post Oak Hotel I encountered an ostentatious offering at H Bar: the “Black Gold Burger,” a $1,600 behemoth named for Houston’s oil industry and built from an entire pound of A5 wagyu beef shipped in from Japan, slabs of seared foie gras, black truffles, and truffle aioli, with a bun made with caviar and infused with 24-karat gold; it’s served alongside a bottle of 2006 Dom Perignon. The burger’s extravagance fits the hotel’s lavish reputation—Rockets owner and hospitality billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s crown-jewel property—and the price is framed against local alternatives (roughly 165 SmokeShack burgers, 14 40-ounce long bone ribeyes from B&B Butchers, or about 20 full tasting-menu dinners from chef Jonny Rhodes’s Indigo)." - Amy McCarthy
