A London man has sampled a £350 burger topped with caviar and lobster at a Bloomsbury restaurant, declaring himself 'blown away' by the taste but insisting he will never spend that amount on the dish again.
Carmie Sellitto, 26, who has amassed 1.3 million followers on TikTok by reviewing high-end eateries, visited Otto's, an old-world French restaurant known for its velvet décor and theatrical dishes. He ordered the Le Burger Deluxe, which features four prime cuts of meat, a lobster claw, a whole pot of caviar, white sauce, egg yolk, and potato crisps – notably without a bun.
In a TikTok video that has garnered over 322,200 views, Sellitto said: 'This is the most expensive burger in London.' He described the lobster claw as 'pretty good' and the meat as 'perfectly pink', adding: 'The taste blew me away. I was so confused – it was just crazy biting into such expensive meat.'
Despite his praise, Sellitto made clear he would not repeat the experience. 'If you're wondering if I'd spend £300 on this burger again – obviously not,' he said, captioning the post: 'I can't believe I spent £300 on this.'
The video attracted over 14,100 likes and 500 comments, with many viewers criticising the lack of a bun. One commented: 'Burger without a bun is pointless,' while another said: 'That's not a burger.' Others joked about the price, with one stating: 'At £300 it should come with its own cow and an acre of field.'
