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.
Yeah, but you can get the same effect with ground chuck at like $2-3 a pound.
MMM, ground chuck.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
On an unrelated tack, the point of the sandwich is clearly to pick ingredients by their high cost
No, it's to pick the best ingredients irrespective of cost. There's a difference.
It really could go either way, right? If the idea is "let's make the most expensive _____ EVAH and get a bunch of write-ups" its probably the former.

If I only had a brain...
I'm sure you don't grind up Kobe steak to make Kobe burger -- you grind up all the Kobe cuts you can't sell as steaks or roasts.
