Yes, where every people like eggs and they have a mouth, seemingly.

I had never heard of such thing some 20 years ago. I think I first
started encountering them with some regularity in Vietnamese and
Japanese food. It was an order of whatever-the-heck with a fried egg on
top. I loved it. The was tentative at first.

The most popular hip pizza joint nearby has one with a fried egg and
some other really great stuff. It's wonderful.

The do seem to be popping up everywhere.
