Turns out Gov. Easley was right about the cost of burgers in some parts of Europe. From the New York Times


Some of the most celebrated chefs in the city [Paris] have taken up the challenge. Yannick All?no, who earned a third Michelin star in 2007 for his precise, rarefied cuisine at Le Meurice, serves a thick, succulent hamburger at his casual restaurant, Le Dali. Mr. All?no?s baker, Fr?d?ric Lalos, a winner of one of the country?s fiercest cooking competitions, makes the buns. With smoked bacon, lettuce, dill pickles, mustard, mayonnaise and fries, the burger at Le Dali costs 35 euros, about $56.


And that’s without onion rings.
