Why does this seem so wrong? I just saw a clip on the tube about a
new burger joint in Chicago. They showed a burger loaded with
toppings and a sunny-side-up egg on it. It looks liked a total mess
to eat. It there a region or culture that normally does this? I've
read some places put an egg on pizza and that seems weird too.

Am I missing out? Something I should try?

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.

An open faced burger with an over easy egg topping the meat and bun part
and an over easy egg on the bare bun part all covered with chili was
popular at the Mapes Hotel in Reno in the sixties and early seventies.
Then there was cheese, onion and other stuff on top. It was served with
fries. I still make it occasionally. I don't make the fries because I'm
a health nut. It's not the same as you describe, but what's not to like
except a trip to the emergency room?

This is combining two threads..one of people taking pictures of their
food, and this thread about fried eggs on top.

Well..this is the sandwich I got back in December, when Lin and I went
out to lunch in Nevada City, CA. I took a pic of it, and as you can
see, it has a fried egg on top. No, it wasn't a hamburger, but it was
still very good. Judging by how this was, I can very easily see how
good a fried egg on top of a burger might be. This was very, very
good.

Red Robin makes one called the "Royal" Red Robin Burger. Besides the
fried egg, cheese and regular trimmings, it has threes slices of
hickory-smoked bacon. Sort of like a breakfast-dinner! I haven't tried
it myself, but Bob really likes it.

Hi Lou,

When I first arrived in Australia from The States many moons ago I
have to admit this particular sight had ME somewhat bewildered. Now, a
burger loaded with bacon, tomato, onion rings, cheese, lettuce,
beetroot, pineapple, and of course a sunny-side up egg IS one of the
world's bizarre little culinary delights - in my opinion of course

Give it a try sometime, you MAY be surprised!

Kind Regards,
Brian Anasta

Beetroot and egg, yes! Save the pineapple for a 'Hawaiian'.

I knew Red Robin had a burger with egg on it; I saw it on the menu,
but never tried it. I just ate there once and felt that a burger,
onion rings and an iced tea for 18 bucks was a little pricey, but the
burger was good.

I have eaten at Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh, which is famous for
the sandwiches with slaw and fries piled on the sandwich, and they had
a sandwich on their menu that had a fried egg on it.

I think egg and hamburger go great together. I can do it Benedict style,
Mexican with salsa and guacamole, American with just cheese (maybe diced
onion) and some bacon. My only rule is that the yolk must be runny. It can
be poached or basted, but must be runny. Wow, think I'll set out some
burger meat for breakfast!!

The world famous "Bull Burger"! Served at the Bell Diner, Bayside, NY, only
after last call (4:00 AM, back in the day. Greek diners never close). A
bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg on top! A side order of fries w/brown
gravy! The ensuing reduction in blood flow would negate the effects of
alcohol upon the circulatory system, thereby eliminating the possibility of
a "hangover". Basically the same outcome as a trip to White Castle, but
with less flatulence.

It's been around a long time. Just like a fried egg on apple pie. I had my
first egg topped cheeseburger back in 1984. And it tasted really good.
Yeah, it's a bit messy but that's half the experience.

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:

Yup. They're quite common in New Zealand. Eggburgers are teh yum. The
egg is "sunnyside up" but the yolk is usually cooked firm.

Steak, egg and chips. Reasonably common "pub food" over here. Good,
but you wouldn't want it every day.

A fried egg is an option on all their sandwiches, but I don't think
they serve hamburgers.

I don't see it as being very good, either. I have to have [Heinz]
ketchup on a burger, but I have vowed never to have an egg and
ketchup sandwich ever again. So a fried egg on a burger would
cerate somewhat of a quandary for me.

OK., Have you tried an egg before? You have? Good.

And a burger? Yes?

Did you ever have beef or pork on a plate with an egg? You did?

OK. Its like that.

But with bread around it.

If I remember it right, the folks in Australia (and New Zealand, maybe?)
do that, though I don't remember it being sunny side up. They also put
some sliced beet on a burger. <gag>

I first saw this in Brazil. Found out it is pretty popular down there.
If it was just a burger and egg, it would have been OK.... but it had
all the fixins' on it and to me, was just strange.

If that's "a little pricey," the Pope's "a little" Catholic. The Red

I don't think it's weird. Eggs have been in sandwiches in one form or
another forever. Right now you've got me jonesing for a grilled ham
and egg sandwich. I suspect the sunnyside up egg on the burger was a
promo shot. I wouldn't do it, not cuz an egg is out of place, more
cuz most burgers are too busy already without one more thing piled
on. I actually like to taste the burger, only rarely adding cheese.

I've only recently seen these things. It seems the trendy burger
joints are doing it. I see from this thread it's nothing new and must
just be spreading here.

I like fried egg sandwiches but not with runny eggs. I love a runny
yolk but not on a sandwich dripping down my chin.

Steak and eggs with hash browns is common truck stop food here. The
burger is a new thing.
