I was reading the latest copy of "Food & Wine" and there was an article on simple recipes from Thomas Keller. The very first recipe is a BLT with a fried egg. That's so awesome that the genius behind the French Laundry and I think alike. BLTs rock, but a BLT with a fried egg rocks even more.

Later on in the same issue, there's another article (or maybe it was an ad) on variations on burgers and one of them was to add a fried egg. There are so many different dishes where adding a fried egg makes it better. BLTs and burgers are just the obvious choices.

Fried rice is excellent with a fried egg. I've eaten carnitas topped with a fried egg. Warm salads are probably better with poached eggs, but poaching is a pain so fry that sucker up.
 
alot of the places i went to in europe put fried eggs on the burgers. i think that it is a great idea.

and one of my favorite dishes in indonesia was the fried rice topped with a fried egg
 
I was at Lee's Kitchen last night (great vietnamese place at William Cannon and Mopac) and I had two grilled pork chops, rice, and a fried egg on top. It was delicious.
 
Some places in Europe put a fried egg on top of pizza. That's tasty.

Some places in Europe put a raw egg on top of pizza. That's not so tasty.
 
Red Robin has a burger with a fried egg. It's kind of a bulky burger but tasty. Most Vietnamese places have dishes you can get with a fried egg and/or egg cake too. Yummy.
 
We had fried egg sandwiches every other week after church (chorizo breakfast tacos the other) when I was a kid. They are DE LISC OUS. If the home stretch has the time for it, I try to get moms to cook them up when I'm home.

This is a bit off target as I commend fried eggs many places. But how can you say you had a fried egg sandwhich with ketchup and mayo on it? Did you not grow up in TX? We use mustard, darlin'. Do you honestly put ketchup on a BLT? mayo I understand as it works fantastically with the bacon. Ketchup belongs on NO sandwiches EVER. WOW. I am surprised you didn't just say put a tablespoon of refined sugar on there.
 
All parts of Argentina that I've been to (from B.A. on north) loves thems somes fried eggs on top of almost anyting.

I remember that Brazil (Rio, Sao Paulo, y other areas in S.P. State at least) was no stranger to the fried egg topper either.
 
Hawaiian/Samoan restarants often have a burger with a fried egg and gravy on it.

There is a Hawaiian restaurant in Killeen that serves it, although I haven't tried the burger yet.
 
Did anyone ever get the Carnivore from the grill at Nau's? It was a burger with ham, bacon, cheese and a fried egg, yum. I called it the heart attack.
 
My favorite sandwich (other than Maurice's chopped BBQ brisket with onion and hot sauce, hold the pickles) is bacon and egg. Two pieces of toast, spread with Miracle Whip, two or three slices of bacon-limp, and an over/hard fried egg, some salt and pepper.

My Mom used to make them for my lunchbox, and wrap them in wax paper- there were no sandwich bags when I was a kid.
 
U, that sandwich sounds good, but it sounds 10 times worse with mustard than it does with ketchup, especially ballpark yellow mustard, which is crap
 
Mayonnaise is excellent on fried egg sandwiches.

Mayonnaise is made from eggs, you know...

Every once in awhile (today included) I have a simple turkey sandwich with cheese and a fried egg on top. SO good. We sometimes have burgers with fried egg too. My wife is from Brazil and it is pretty normal there.
 
Condiment snobs, best burger argument snobs, your favorite Tex-Mex place sucks snobs, BBQ snobs, breakfast taco snobs-- I don't see much difference.

The only food snobs I can abide are chili snobs. Because as we all know, there is no such thing as chili with beans.

I don't think anyone here is a snob. I think that some of us have pretty strong culinary opinions. I personally think that people ought to eat what tastes good to them. Gakfoo and I sometimes disagree about what we like to eat, but I have no doubts he knows what he is talking about and I applaud his taking food seriously. That is how I view all of these threads. I may rant and rave, but at the end of the day it really is a 'to each his own' culinary world.
 
I doubt that very many people on this forum have eaten more fried Eggs than I have. I used to eat for breakfast pretty religiously. and this is the ultimate fried egg sandwich, and had enough calories to sustain me.

Basically you get Orowheat Oat Nut Bread, put a little ketchup on both pieces of the bread, fry 2 eggs just barely past over easy to not quite firm the yolk. When you turn each of the eggs put a piece of kraft american cheese on each egg. About the time the cheese starts to melt the egg is usually ready to pull. Stack one egg on top of the other in the bread and serve with a huge glass of cold milk....

mmmmm.....
