Why the fuck would anybody buy a Kobe beef burger?
The same reason I've seen (ahem, well, actually eaten) Kobe beef meatballs, I'm sure.
On a purely technical level, the fat in Kobe beef would be ideal for both, since ultra-lean beef in burgers=dry, un-juicy burgers.

My mom had one of those in Vegas. (Client's expense account + pushy waiter = Kobe beef burger!) She said it was disappointing, but the bite she had of her co-worker's Kobe steak was phenomenal.
(American Waygu, not real Kobe, obviously.)

Yeah, but you can get the same effect with ground chuck at like $2-3 a pound.
MMM, ground chuck.
No, it's to pick the best ingredients irrespective of cost.
You'd have to make an argument to me as to why those are the "best" ingredients. As I said, Chez Panisse is one of the best restaurants in the world and they don't have $160 sandwiches.
No, it's to pick the best ingredients irrespective of cost. There's a difference.
And, upon reflection, they would go together because it's essentially deconstructed Beef Wellington with added veggies and truffles instead of mushroom duxelles. I'm personally not a fan of foie gras, but the ingredients have precedence together.
Point being, I suppose, that I've had practice not swallowing things at the bottom of martinis, so someone should buy me the $10k one. As a present.
Excellent!
I have to warn you guys, from now on, I'm going to post about it every time I'm afraid someone's not calling me back. I'm two for two over the past couple of weeks with posting and having the phone ring shortly thereafter.

Oh, I know, I was just thinking about it from an Alton Brown-ish perspective.
Great, now I want to grill up burgers for dinner, but I won't be able to do that tonight.

Alton would never grind up a Kobe steak! Perish the thought!
Spidra, I honestly don't know what answer you're expecting to hear. If you disapprove of the sandwich, don't buy it.

I was just about to say something similar...
