Only if it has a runny yolk, if it doesn’t you just wasted an egg and I will be too pissed to eat. Burger med rare, with mustard, pickles, grilled onion, cheese and an egg is the best thing ever (though I will accept chili too if you insist.) ---

Only had a burger like that once. Didn’t care for it. ---

Agreed - runny yolk and melty cheese - YUM! ---

Sure. But it also has to have beetroot and pineapple. ---

Hmmm…I like the breakfast platter at Cracker Barrel that offers a hamburger steak with eggs to order, so what the hell. Serve it up, and I’ll eat it. Add cheese and bacon. No veggies, no condiments–I usually go with ketchup on a burger, but think I’ll skip it with the egg… ---

We call it the Good Morning Burger… Seriously, I’d eat that. ---

Only if it has a _non_ runny yolk but not scrambled. Or better yet, put some bacon on it as well. While we’re going there, why not sausage? In fact, forget the bun! (I love me some british isles meat plates.) ---
