What's Up With An Egg On A Burger?
Lou Decruss
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.

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

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.

There used to be a little greasy spoon stop that we made in Albany,
OR that had a big burger with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, all of
that, plus a fried egg. Evidently, it was good. It was too big for me
to try.

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,

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.

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

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.

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.

Exactly! It seems some of the things mentioned here and what I saw on

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.

There used to be a place in Pacifica, South of San Francisco, that

Back during world war 2 there was collusion between japan and germany. A dreadful
secret weapon was used on america. Germany beamed stupid/amorality rays at america's
east coast while japan beamed insanity/wierdness rays at america's west coast. The
sources of these emanations have never been found and it is assumed the information
was expunged from every document in both countries and all people who knew commited
suicide. The rays continue to affect America to this very day.
Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?

Is there also a hamburger patty in the RR Royal burger? I love fried

While not quite so extreme, Friendlys used to have a "Hawaiian Teriyaki
Burger", with IIRC Canadian Bacon, pineapple, scallions, maybe some
onion, and a teriyaki sauce that was, well, I've been missing it ever
since they took it off the menu. Pineapple goes surprisingly well on
the right burger.

That's about average here for the three items. I doubt that it's much
less than that in the midwest -- a buck or two tops. Now, if Michael
didn't order the onion rings and settled for just the bottomless fries
that come WITH the burger it would have been less. Also, they have some
fancy iced teas that aren't cheap if that's what he had. I might add
that anything other than their original burger does cost more.
$18/per person at a joint like that really is average around here.

My impression is it's a Hawaiian thing to pile a lot of vegetables
onto a burger -- slivers of carrot, zucchini, bell pepper etc.
My further impression is this may have stemmed from a public
health initiative to get more vegetables into the Hawaii diet,
versus the traditional spam, white rice and beer.
"Toss an egg into it" appears in food items around the world,
because eggs are often very prevalent. In Spain I have a braised
beef stew-like dish... with an egg. It's there, it's protein,
toss it in.

Holsteiner Schnitzel is topped with a fried egg, and Salade Lyonnaise
is topped with a poached egg. If you think a soft yolk makes
everything more delicious, you should try it.
Popular at the cafe at my summer factory job was the fried hot dog and
fried egg sandwich for breakfast. Take a dog, split it and fry it, top
it with a fried egg between two slices of white toast. Add ketchup,
salt and pepper to taste.

When Alton Brown did his bike trip through the south he discovered some

make him buttermilk pancakes with barbecued tri-tip on top and she thought

It's been years for me, but I think Fuddrucker's might have had better
burgers than Red Robin. Red Robin is more inline with say Chili's or
Applebees and their specialty is burgers. They also serve normal fare --
salads, soups, southwesty entrees. It's family friendly -- and because
of that we make a point to sit on the bar side to avoid the additional
noise of the kids (not that we haven't had to put up with families on
our "quieter" side.) My one other gripe with the place is their
excessive use of salt in many of the dishes. I love salt -- but when I
think there's too much, it's that bad. They do have a full bar and
decent selection of brews on tap to wash that salt down though! ;-)

If the local Red Robin is typical, it's not hard to have better burgers.
Price was ridiculous, burger was ordinary, I didn't go back. There's
a Friendlys around the block that has _much_ better burgers IMO.

I gave the Red Robin chain two chances. The first time I had a Reuben
sandwich. Reminded me of the sandwiches we used to get out of a vending
machine in factory... only without the taste.
A friend told me I made a mistake and that the best items on the menu
were the burgers... that they were the best. Over cooked, over priced
and the sides were laughable.
They won't get a third chance.
For chains... Fudruckers delivers the best burgers IMO.

Depends what you order:
http://www.redrobin.com/menu/default.aspx?loc=6369&mnu=RRGB-STND
That's for Missouri. (If the URL doesn't work, just take the first part
and put in your zip code).
The onion rings aren't a "side", they are a "shareable starter" and one
order is US$7.99. As Lin mentioned, the burgers come with unlimited
fries, and are all under US$10 (but not much).

Jeez, Lou! It was almost 30 years ago, after last call, after 4:00 AM since
my last "adventure" there! But, if I had to guess, the standard burger
toppings - lettuce, slice of tomato, slice of raw onion, pickle on the side.
I never ate those on a bull burger, they added an "un-natural healthiness"
to the meal!
Yeah! WC Steakhouse! About 6 belly-bombs, large fries, large onion rings!
Probably cost about 3 bucks back then and tasted great as the Sun came up!
Ah, the good ol' days!

Indonesian fried rice is presented with a fried egg on top. Korean bibimbap
is served in a sizzling-hot stone or thick metal bowl with a raw egg inside;
the diner scrambles the egg into the rice and other stuff.

You seem to be misinformed on a number of things, which I attribute to your
high degree of stupidity.
1. Red Robin is not "fast food."
2. I am neither fat nor a slob.
3. I don't "scarf down" burgers; when I go to Red Robin I'll have JUST ONE
burger. Unlike you, with your colossal ass, who could eat fifty hot dogs and
guzzle five six-packs of Budweiser while doing so.
4. You have yet to give an answer to my question as to WHY someone would
make up menus and post them here, as you accuse me of doing. What would be
the point? Moreover, since there are PICTURES AND WITNESSES for many of
those meals, how do you reconcile your accusation with reality? Or don't you
worry about reality? I know it's sometimes difficult for you to cope, which
is why you turn to alcohol and your loathsome attempts to be promiscuous.
Fortunately, nobody wants you.
