View Full Version : The £100 hamburger
Having been to the G-VFWE at Kemble yesterday, I can declare that the £100 hamburger is now dead in the UK. The AV8 restaurant there was really impressive, and would make a pleasant stop at anytime. The hamburger has now been replaced with a £100 chicken ceasar salad!
:ooh: Whatever next.....The £100 cup of tea.........:uhoh:

Had a £100 Espresso with free Chocolate in Dinard @ the Pilot's Pub. EGJJ-LFRD (for coffee)-EGJJ
It was quite a good coffee tho.

We had excellent £100 "vegetarian wrap" and lovely coffee, served by a very nice young lady I might add, at Hilversum EHHV weekend before last - higly recommended!

Dinner at the AV8 on Friday was very good, couple of beers, bottle of Pinotage, two courses - £55. The serving wenches were good fun, too.
Filled the tanks up on the aeroplane - £55.
Surely some coincidence??:O

Thought my £180 cheese and onion toasty was a winner, but the crisps get my vote!

Kemble - great weekend, if a little wet. Good old Cambrai!
I reckon my 2 old planes cost £300 per hour each to operate so an hour each way to get them there.......
No - don't work it out for me-I am glad that maths isn't my best subject!
No wonder we took our own scoff.

Hi folks,
I am curios as to what this £100/$100 hamburger is? I am visiting America in June and would like to try this item of food! Can someone fill me in (get it? fill me in :rolleyes: ) on the contents of this article!
Cheers

Hey, I just did a 3 hour flight in a B95 to New Orleans. It worked out to be a $1000 cup of coffee ... :{

Wouldn't it be great to have a website like this here? Not difficult to set up, but hard to promote, I guess.
I must say most airfield restaurants serve unimaginative cr*p in an unspiring, smelly, greasy spoon environment.

Have worked it out but I won't tell you. Good that you got them over there though - and in prime position as well. Nice to see the Miles collection taking centre stage.

Hmmmmm actually on a serious note, I'm no tight ar$e but the food at Kemble was an absolute RIP-OFF, the sole food tent which was obviously there to create a Monopoly on the days captive hungry Pilot market was absolutely cr@p ! :(
For the privilege of having a cold tray of chips, a jumbo sausage in a bread(?) roll, a jam doughnut & a weak cup of tea they made me £8 lighter !!! :ouch: :mad: :(
Whats anyone elses thoughts on this, or should I take a laxative :D

Come to think of it, they were advertising a "747 Boeing Burger" at Swansea. Not sure whether it costs $120,000,000 or not, but it's probably very nice. :)

While I suspect that thy're far too upmarket to server hamburgers (or at least call them that) this place (http://www.manoir.com/le-manoir-aux-quat-saisons.htm) is probably where you will end up paying £100 for one! :eek:
You can fly in, but only by 'chopper
a kit-kat and a packet of salt & vinegar crisps at Lydd cost me £130 a couple of months ago. I got some of my money back by taking a sachet of tomato ketchup to go with the sausage sarnie that I had in my bag

£250 on Saturday for 4 burgers from a Farm Shop near Fenland, and I have to cook them myself!!
Cracking $240 chicken sandwich at 11R (Brenham) today ... and another 3.6 PIC in the logbook.

£3.25 for an enormous all day breakfast at Rochester today. Mind you, I do run the place (with massive assistance from my lovely wife) (some might say she does it all).
Actually, a lot of SE UK flyers would have a job spending too much on a visit to Rochester. Fuel is only 95p per litre, landing only 8 quid, and the nosh is ludicrously cheap (considering the price of the top quality ingredients).
