No way in hell. I cannot eat eggs. I have never been able to do it. The smell, taste and texture _literally_ (literally literally) make me puke. ---

That’s a load of rich creamery butter. ---

What color are these eggs? If they’re green, you’d have to argue with me for a while before I would try them, although there’s some literature out there suggesting that’s still quite okay. Would you like a goat with that? ---

I’ve never tried one, but I’d be willing to. I love runny eggs. I eat them over rice and over pancakes. ---

A fried egg on a burger with all the fixings is overkill for me - though steak tartare with a raw yolk is sounding pretty good right now… ---

my wife fancies her burgers with nothing but cheese, jalapenos and peanut butter. we’d both eat a burger with an egg on it, though - runny yolk required. ---

YES!!! With bacon, cheese and grilled onions, please! Here in Southern California, Fatburger is my go to place for an egg burger. They are awesome. ---

There’s a food truck here, (started by a chef who also has her own restaurant) that sells a burger like this. It has quail egg iirc, and the French fries are cooked in duck fat. One of these days I will hunt it down to try, but most of the time it’s in the core and I work too far out to visit. ---

> [@Doctor](#): > > YES!!! With bacon, cheese and grilled onions, please! Here in Southern California, Fatburger is my go to place for an egg burger. They are awesome. Yes! When I think burger with egg I think fatburger. It’s one of the few things I really miss about California. ---

Eeugh! No… Hell no! Ugh. You people are nuts! I’ve had an aversion to eggs of any type ever since I saw my little sister puke scrambled eggs all over our Granny’s couch when we were kids. It may have been 30 years ago but I still can’t stand eggs. ---

Mmm, yes please! Runny and lots of onions. Maybe beetroot, but pineapple is too juicy, makes the bread soggy. ---

No egg on my burger, thank you. I had one of the tastiest burgers in my life in Bicheno, Tasmania, and it came with a fried egg on it. Once I took the egg off, it was delicious. ---

Yum, the steak and egg burger from the local chip shop is excellent. Runny yolk on mine please.
