在迪拜的一个慈善拍卖会上,一个美味多汁的汉堡竟然被拍到了...1万美元。
A juicy burger has sold at a charity auction in Dubai... for $10,000.
迪拜生活休闲杂志Villa 88的创始人阿斯玛·阿尔·法希姆通过电话赢下了此次拍卖。
Asma Al Fahim, founder of Dubai lifestyle magazine Villa 88, phoned in the winning bid.
这款巨型汉堡包包含7层牛肉饼--分别代表7个酋长国,此外熟切达干酪和牛肉培根则包在藏红花奶油蛋卷里。
The giant burger contained seven beef patties -- one for each of the emirates in the United Arab Emirates -- aged cheddar cheese and veal bacon strips in a saffron brioche bun.
该汉堡是由迪拜Galeries Lafayette Le Gourmet烹饪总监拉塞尔·和卡塔尔皇家厨师默罕默德·阿尔·萨尼共同完成的。
It was prepared by Russell, culinary director at Le Gourmet in Dubai's Galeries Lafayette, and a member of Qatar's royal family, Mohammed Al Thani.
阿尔·萨尼在一份声明中说道:“两年前,我们以7000美元的价格卖出了一个汉堡,打破了世界纪录,今年我们想拍出更高价!拍到的所有金额都将用于早期乳腺癌意识宣传及免费检测服务当中。”
"Two years ago we broke the world record by selling one burger for $7,000, and this year we wanted to top that," Al Thani said in a statement. "All proceeds will go to breast cancer awareness and free detection at an earlier stage."
这次拍卖会由Pink Caravan主办的,旨在提高人们对乳腺癌的认识。
The auction was run by Pink Caravan, which campaigns to raise awareness of breast cancer.
阿尔·法希姆表示,她一直想找一个好的理由来纪念去年在一次房屋失火中丧生的Pink Caravan前总监阿梅拉·卡拉姆。
Al Fahim said she wanted to support a good cause and honor former Pink Caravan director Ameera Karam, who died in a house fire last year.
