In Ithaca, New York, a cheeseburger with fried egg is called a Bo
Burger. You will find it on the menu at many of the local eateries. Bo
Burgers are one of the basic food groups for students from Ithaca
College and Cornell. If you visit hot cuisine establishments like the
State Diner, Manos Diner, or Louie's Lunch Truck by the Cornell north
campus dorms, you will find Bo Burgers being consumed at all hours of
night and day. I did more than a few during my stint in Ithaca.

Paula Dean covered it on her TV show:

You will not find Louie's in Guide Michelin, but maybe in Burgatory:
