Wendy's Debuts $16 Caviar Burgers

Sorry, they're only in Japan

(Newser) – Bacon and cheese too old-hat for you? Wendy's has a solution: Its new burger toppings include caviar and lobster. Unfortunately, you'll have to head to Japan to sample the offerings, and you'll have to do it quickly—the burgers are part of a limited-time offer. They follow Wendy's re-entry into Japan in 2009, when the company debuted a burger with foie gras and truffle sauce; both burgers will run you about $16. Fast-food chains like the struggling Wendy's are increasingly looking for opportunities abroad, the Los Angeles Times notes.

A hamburger that's worth more than a steak? No way Jose!

The CREEP management at Wendy's fought banning toxic tobacco smoke in their restaurants. The government finally MADE them do it! I would NEVER go there! BAN TOXIC TOBACCO SMOKE EVERYWHERE!

That is a brilliant idea for Japan considering they eat fish flavored ice cream. Not so much for the US.
