What is the Best Sandwich?

I have been meaning to ask about these! I'll experiment on my own because it's obviously all common ingredients anyway, but I want to try these and I'm somewhat curious about ratios and doneness. Does a proper fried egg burger have a relatively small (1/4 pounder, tops) patty to balance out with the egg or is the whole thing a monstrously beautiful ode to cardiac arrest? Does the egg need to be real hot and runny so you end up with a delicious mess? Is it meant to be a juicy burger over all or are we talking something more along the lines of a patty melt (Greasy, salty, a bit more done) with the yolk keeping the whole thing from being too dry?
Yayniall:
If you're going to be such a ponce about it you don't get to put a fried egg on your burger.
You get pineapple.
Alex C:
Pfft, these are serious questions! People do ridiculous shit to burgers all the time these days so I want to a good starting point as opposed to just test driving burgers until I'm a fatty.
Lines:
I am beginning to think pineapple is good on everything. It's good on burgers, it's good on pizza...seriously. Pineapple is The Best Fruit.
Lunchbox:
Here in fish and chips shops we have 'works' burgers which are basically a plain burger (which is hardly plain, it is patty, lettuce, tomato, beetroot, sauce) with pineapple and fried egg. Due to the nature of fish and chips shops the egg is usually cooked all the way through, and without egg rings.
Actually I will go and get one today perhaps and showcase the majesty.
--- Quote from: BurgerPedia ---Australia & New Zealand:
Fast food franchises sell American style fast food hamburgers in both Australia and New Zealand. The traditional Australasian hamburger almost always includes tomato, lettuce, grilled onion, beetroot (canned slices), and meat as minimum, and can optionally include cheese, a fried egg (usually with a hard yolk), bacon, and a grilled pineapple ring. The only condiments regularly used are tomato sauce, which is similar to ketchup but has less vinegar and more sugar, or BBQ sauce. Hamburgers in Australia and New Zealand tend to be less oily and fatty than their US counterparts, and are more likely to include a full salad if available. The McDonalds "McOz" Burger is partway between American and Australian style burgers, having beetroot and tomato in an otherwise typical American burger. Likewise McDonalds in New Zealand created a Kiwiburger which is similar to a Quarter Pounder, but features salad, beetroot and a fried egg. The Hungry Jack's (Burger King) "Aussie Burger" has tomato, lettuce, onion, cheese, bacon, beetroot, egg, ketchup and a meat patty. As with many issues between the two countries there is much debate over whether this burger (with beetroot being the defining factor) is, in fact, an Australian or a New Zealand creation, but the answer remains unclear.
Hamburger meat is almost always ground beef. Outside of fast food restaurants, "home made" style burgers, generally known in Australia as a 'Hamburger with the lot' (if they have "the lot" on them) are usually bought from fish and chip shops.
