Steak burger on the news

[x08]

Just saw a really nice looking steak-burger on the news. NT$1500 and looked to be of the extra large variety. Chef was a foreigner. Any idea where to get it?

Go to Matsusei, buy said steak, cook both sides, put it in a bun...voila, steak burger!

[x08]

heh, funny. I am quite capable of cooking my own... but that's not the point. The burger looked real good and I'm not theonly one in my family who wants to go try it.

I know the guy.
This is how he describes it on his facebook:

Parmesan Ciabatta Bun, USDA Prime Beef Tenderloin, Seared Foie Gras, Black Truffle, Herbed Truffle Mayonnaise, White Truffle Oil, Tempura Onion Ring, Lettuce, Tomato, Cajun Fries & Basil Ketchup.....that is a burger.

Wow, that sounds amazing. Address? data?

He works at one of the big hotels down there.
Although that's not much help, is it?
I'll ask him.

It doesn't sound like any burger I know, he should invent a new name, le steak burgette! What's with the craze for steak all over Taiwan right now?!? Complaining about crazy American beef and now steak is the latest thing
I guess the American beef lobby aren't involved in this somehow... The USDA Prime means US Drug Added Prime steak...

Back home, The National Burger is made out of steak, not mince patty. Plus, our patties are mixed with corn flour -masa- and rarely have more than just a sprinkle of wheat flour.

So steak burger makes a lot of sense to me. The rest is just trimmings.

ps.
ciabatta? mmm, that doesn't sound too good, actually.

I don't THINK so! What it is, is a bunch of expensive ingredients cobbled together to take the piss out of people with far more money than sense.

So the beef isn't even ground? Sounds like quite a workout for the teeth and jaws there. And the fries go IN the burger? This is confusing.
