Has anyone had this and did you die of overindulence? Tue Jan 14 13:16:31 -0800 2003 0 mjr_inthegardens 1 1060843 i did try the DB burger and in my humble opinion it looks and sounds more amazing than it tastes. i found that i couldn't distinguish the foie gras or truffles, even though i could see a different texture of meat in the patty's center. somehow the flavors seemed all mashed together. the french fries were damn good though.

The one good thing is that the concept is making its way to menus across the country and there are much better executions elsewhere. Still think tuna and fois gras is a better combination (thanks, Joe). Sun Jan 19 21:50:03 -0800 2003 1060843 0 Dbird 1 1060856 Had the burger last month. It's one fabulous burger, I ate slightly more than 1/2 and it did not kill me. I'm a 110lb. female (or at least I was pre-burger), so I think a full-sized guy would have no problem with it. I will say I was slightly disappointed in the foie gras-ness of it, I was hoping for melting foie gras ecstasy through out the burger, but it's only a tiny piece, doesn't really spread its essence throughout.

I was unable to find the supposed foie gras, and the burger in general, although cooked medium rare as ordered, was actually dense and rather dry despite the heralded ingedients. Save your money.
