It was brought to my attention that BLT Steak at 1625 I Street NW, in Washington, D.C. has recently offered a choice of 99% burger or 1% burger. The former is a 6 oz. cheeseburger with, of course, American cheese on whole grain bread for $9.99, while the latter is a 8 oz. Kobe burger, braised Kobe short rib, with foie gras, gold leaf, and Grey Poupon for $58. BLT, reportedly a favorite of K Street lobbyists, offers other politically themed burgers described at this link.
I am definitely for the 99%er – no poop for me, either grey or gold, but the inclusion of the $1700/oz. garnish on the 1%er, makes me wonder if the next prospecting opportunity lies at the D.C. sewage treatment plant.
