This sounds very similar to a common breakfast 'treat' (_choke choke,
gag gag!_) called a 'horseshoe' or a 'haystack', depending on locale &
diner in central IL. I'm not sure about other locations in the USA.
Start with a toasted bread of some sort (choices also include waffles &
pancakes, too!), meat(s) of choice (hamburger, ham, sausage, steak, pork
tenderloin, etc.), eggs of choice (over-easy, poached, scrambled, etc.),
potatoes of choice (hash browns, home fries, french fries, etc.), then a
sauce/gravy of choice (sausage gravy, cheese sauce, brown gravy, etc.).
I might've forgotten to list one or few other ingredients. Heart-attack
on a plate, anyone?
