What About The Taste?
Since it’s first time we have seen a burger bathed in gold, it’s obvious to wonder about the taste.
Well, it doesn’t taste like gold. The decoration is just for a luxury experience for the wealthy foodies who can afford it. However, it’s messy as the gold thin layer sticks to the lip and finger.

Cost Will Make You Go Nuts

As we told above it costs 57 dollars to the Toro McCoy, it would be more expensive for the foodies. This luxurious burger will be available at the cost of $59.
On the other hand, a regular burger costs you only $11. The price has to be high as the process of preparing gold burger is very delicate because the gold foil gets damaged easily.
So, the price is worth paying. In rupees, one 24-karat gold burger will cost you ₹ 4330. That’s too much!!!!
Still if this new burger edition has excited you and you want to taste it then come to Columbia.
