A Price That Defies Inflation

The Hundredbuck$Burger debuted on 18 November 2020, and its price has remained unchanged at HUF 37,900 (currently €93). Interestingly, the burger was more expensive in euros when it launched, as the forint’s exchange rate was stronger (357 HUF/EUR compared to over 408 HUF/EUR today).

Speaking to Délmagyar, restaurant owner Lajos Ferkov explained how he managed to maintain the burger’s original price despite Hungary’s significant food price inflation from 2022 to 2024. He noted that while the cost of goose liver doubled, the prices of Wagyu beef and Roquefort cheese remained stable. Conversely, the price of Trappist cheese increased by 100%.

The Hundredbuck$Burger typically sells 1-2 units per month. However, following a viral video by HypeVonat shared recently, the restaurant has received 15-20 orders in just a few days.
