Exactly! It seems some of the things mentioned here and what I saw on
TV had way so much going on. I mean a sandwich 4-5 inches tall is
goofy IMO. I mentioned this to Louise and she said we should try it.
The Paula Dean version Julian posted is what I'd do. If I'm going
have egg I don't want lettuce or tomato. I use mayo on my burgers so
I'm not sure how I'd handle that.
