One of Dubai's most talked-about new openings is to offer a special $136 burger this month to celebrate what is the National Burger Day in both the US and Australia.

Firebird Diner's Burger Khalifa is part of the DIFC restaurant's Burger Domination Week, and is almost certain to be lighting up your Instagram feeds between May 22-28.

Also on the menu that week are the "All American Slider," "Down South Dirty Bird," "The Big Tex" and "Arabian Burger."

The signature item justifies its eye-watering price tag by being loaded with two prime USDA Beef Patties, a Maine Lobster Tail, seared foie gras, black truffle aioli, and a sunny side egg.

The more manageable items on the menu - both financially (prices range from $13 to $32), and in the sense you can actually get your hands around them - are the All American Slider, the Big Tex, and the Arabian Burger.
