Vagabond Brewery offers Calgary's fanciest (and priciest) burger

Would you pay $100 dollars for a high-end burger?

The folks at Vagabond Brewery think so and now have one on their menu.

"It's something people can eat and tell a story about, 'Hey, guess what I did last night. I didn't go the movie, I didn't go to the zoo. I had this $100 burger and let me tell you about it," said Chef Dale Neisz.

The burger is topped with black truffle cheese, red onion jam, foie gras, duck confit, heirloom tomato and lettuce and served on a French-style brioche bun.

Vagabond owner Lee Borschowa said he got the idea down south.

"We want to be in your face, have some fun with it," said Borschowa. "It's booze and food, it's not rocket science."

But he said customers should come prepared.

"Don't eat for about five hours before because it's literally like having a Thanksgiving dinner after," said Borschowa. "You're just full. You want to lay on the couch and watch some football and hockey."

Food writer Dan Clapson says the entrée definitely has some shock value to create some buzz.

"A dish of that size probably best shared, not just for one person, unless you want to have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner — which I don't think anybody does," he said. "But you know what — have at 'er."

Customer Brian Ingram decided to give it a go.

"It's good — definitely messy," he said with duck fat dripping from his chin. 

"The boys challenged me so I couldn't back down from the challenge."

The restaurant says it is selling two to three a day.
