Oh, Gross: Yasmine's FOUR-KILO Burger (and Four-Pound Steak)
By Christopher St Cavish, Jan 18th, 2010 | In Nightlife
The Butcher of Yasmine's, Kenneth Arrild, is leaving Shanghai. He's headed to Beijing in mid-March. You may not know him, but perhaps you've heard of his life's crowning achievement thus far, a two-kilo hamburger.
As a sort of leaving present to Shanghai, Arrild is getting ready to introduce a FOUR-KILO hamburger, doubling his life's work in one meaty tower. Him, on the trial monster: "I tell you, it was YUGE!! I was afraid of even handing it to the waitress, it was so heavy."
He says he's taken the point about the quantity of salad from this article, and, so consequently, this new.... "thing" .... will comprise two one-kilo patties (previously a single 800 gram slab) sandwiching the salad, vegetables, and, now newly improved, four fried eggs, bacon, and cheese. That is disgusting. If one finishes -- and, for the record, Arrild doubts that it's even possible -- not only is the 198rmb price waived, but he'll give you a 200rmb gift certificate to the butchershop.
Tums might be more useful.Obviously not one for restraint, he's also introducing a four-pound NY Strip steak. It's Mongolian beef, and he dry-ages it himself for 21 days. Finish it, and it's free. Don't, and it's 490rmb.
Neither of these things are on the menu just yet. He says he should be ready -- gotta give the baker time to figure out the logistics of a big enough bun -- in about two weeks. Farewell, Kenneth Arrild. May the cardiologists of tomorrow's Shanghai never forget you.
