<title>The Purple Onion</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/USA-&amp;-Canada/Kentucky/The-Purple-Onion.124014</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>My boyfriend and I frequently enjoy dining out at various restaurants.  Last weekend, we ate at the Purple Onion in Central City, Kentucky.  As we entered the front door, we were immediately greeted by a friendly hostess who gave us the option of dining on the main level of the building; which is a very exquisite dining area, or the more casual upstairs featuring live music and a bar.  We decided to eat on the main floor, to have a more quiet dinner, then have a drink or two upstairs and listen to a couple songs the band was playing.</p>
 
<p>The main floor was decorated beautifully.  It was a darker room, but with the soft lights and the candles lit, it made for a romantic evening.  Smoking was not allowed.  The servers were very nice and respectful.  Looking at the menu, there was a wide variety of foods to choose from.  The prices were great as well.  I expected a restaurant this nice to be a little pricy.  It did not take long for our food to arrive.  I ordered chicken strips, french fries, and a salad.  My boyfriend ordered a steak.  Everything was cooked just as we ordered, and tasted great.  Throughout the meal, the servers made sure we had everything we needed, and the atmosphere remained calm and romantic.</p>
 
<p>After our meal we headed upstairs, where an unknown band was playing music.  There was definitely a different atmosphere upstairs!  Basketball games were on the televisions.  The band was rocking out on one side of the room, and a full bar was on the other side.  We sat at one of the smaller tables, listening to the band and enjoying our favorite beverages.</p>
 
<p>I was very impressed with this restaurant.  It seemed suited for people of any age.  The customers who did not want to be around smoking or drinking did not have to.  This was a great place to eat for a special occasion, a dinner meeting, a Christmas or birthday party, or just to hang out with friends to drink a beer and watch their favorite team play sports, and still watch their budget.  I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FUSA-%26amp%3B-Canada%2FKentucky%2FThe-Purple-Onion.124014"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FUSA-%26amp%3B-Canada%2FKentucky%2FThe-Purple-Onion.124014" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>The World’s Most Expensive Fast Food</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Practical-Travel/Luxury-Travel/The-Worlds-Most-Expensive-Fast-Food.39425</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[																																								
 
 <p>There are several reasons for these fast foods to be extremely costly, some of which might include the use of premium and pricey ingredients for one's gastronomic indulgence or as part of a charity initiative or fund raising effort.</p>
 
 <p>I have listed the world's most expensive fast food below:</p>
 
 <h3>The World’s Most Expensive Pizza</h3>


 <p>The pizza is known as a “Pizza Royale 007” and it has a price tag of £2,150 or about €3,000.  A dish prepared by a Glasgow based restaurateur, Domenico Crolla, The Pizza Royale 007 is made using an organic pizza base which is topped with edible gold sheets, fine cognac marinated lobster, champagne soaked caviar, sunblush tomato sauce, Scottish smoked salmon and venison. 
</p>

<p><img alt="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/08/13/49223_1.jpg" /></p>


<p>
The pizza was initially prepared for Mr Maurizio Morelli, an Italian lawyer in Rome, as a Valentine's gift to his wife. The pizza's proceeds went to the Fred Hollows Foundation, which aims to prevent curable blindness in developing nations.</p>







 
 <h3>The World’s Most Expensive Burger</h3>


 <p>The Four Seasons Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia has created the pricey hamburger which costs a million Indonesian rupiah or approximately $110, and is thought to be the world's most expensive burger. The  taste is a fusion of East meets West and the hamburger is made with a home-made onion-wheat bun and includes the finest Japanese Kobe beef. Toppings include wasabi mayonnaise and Italian Portobello mushrooms, it is served with an Asian pear and the French foie gras, french fries, and it may be washed down with a glass of wine. </p>

<p><img alt="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/08/13/49223_2.jpg" /></p>


 <p>The Kobe beef comes from the infamous Japanese Wagyu cattle breed raised on a special beer and grain diet and the livestock are massaged daily to in order to tenderize the meat.
 </p>
 



 <h3>The World’s Most Expensive Hotdog</h3>


 <p>The United Nations has sold what is known to be the world's most expensive hotdog in Stockholm's Norrmalmstorg in 2005 in an effort to raise funds for the United Nations' aid work. A pricey piece of sausage, placed in a roll with a selection of toppings and usual condiments was priced at 999 kronor or about $145 apiece.</p>
 
<p><img alt="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/08/13/49223_3.jpg" /></p>



 <h3>The World’s Most Expensive French Fry</h3>


 <p>This very unique 'limited edition' french fry called the “Lincoln Fry” contains the profile of Abraham Lincoln and has appeared in a McDonald's ad in the 2005 Super Bowl. In actual fact, this french fry was used as a prop during the commercial, however it has since been auctioned on eBay and was sold to the Golden Palace Casino. 



</p>

<p><img alt="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/08/13/49223_4.jpg" /></p>


<p>
The proceeds of nearly $22,000 went to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, making the Lincoln Fry the world's most expensive iconic French Fry of all time.

<title>Mcdonald’s Strange Menu Around the World</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Practical-Travel/Budget-Travel/McDonalds-Strange-Menu-Around-the-World.35517</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Good morning, welcome to McDonald's. May I have your order please?</p>
<h3>INDIA</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In India, there are no Big Macs because the Hindu people don't eat beef.</p>
<p>However, they have the Maharaja Mac, which is a Big Mac made of lamb or chicken meat.  There is also a vegetarian burger, the McAloo Tikki.</p>
<h3>GERMANY</h3>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_5.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>It's bottoms up in Germany, where McDonald's serves - Beer!</p>
<h3>CANADA</h3>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In parts of Canada, have a lobster dinner with the McLobster lobster roll. Pardon me - "McHomard" (in French).</p>
<h3>JAPAN</h3>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_11.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Japan totally reinvents McDonald's with its Ebi Filet-O (shrimp burgers), Koroke Burger (mashed potato, cabbage and katsu sauce, all in a sandwich), Ebi-Chiki (shrimp nuggets) and Green Tea-flavored milkshake!</p>
<h3>NORWAY</h3>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_4.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In fish-loving Norway, they have the McLaks, a sandwich made of grilled salmon and dill sauce.</p>
<h3>CHILE</h3>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_7.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In Chile, you can dress your burgers with - not ketchup - avocado paste!</p>
<h3>COSTA RICA</h3>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In Costa Rica, unsurprisingly, you can order Gallo Pinto, meaning rice and beans.</p>
<h3>GREECE</h3>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_9.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>It's not Greek without pita, so when in Greece, have a Greek Mac, a burger made of patties wrapped in pita.</p>
<h3>HONG KONG</h3>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_10.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Rice-loving Hong Kong, has - of course - Rice Burgers, where the burgers are in between, not burger buns, but two patties of glutinous rice.</p>
<h3>ISRAEL</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Despite Jewish religious dietary laws, most McDonald's are not Kosher (there are a few exceptions), and they serve "McPitzutz" ice creams and cheeseburgers... and Israel is one of the only countries that cooks the meat over charcoal versus frying. They also have the McKebab, two patties with Middle Eastern seasonings, stuffed into a pita bread.</p>
<h3>URUGUAY</h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/trifter/2007/07/19/43509_2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>In Uruguay, they have the McHuevo, which is like a regular hamburger, but it is topped with a poached egg.</p>
<p>On the other hand:</p>

<p>Although McDonald's is a giant success in the food industry, not everything Ray Kroc touches turns to gold. Here are some of the Golden Arches' products that didn't turn out to be golden after all. What products are these?
