Considering I am allergic to eggs, and they make me throw up and be violently ill? I am not a fan of eggs on burgers! For a good reason.

A burger is its own food group. Adding egg is another food group.

Add some buckwheat to a burger! That does not belong on a burger either. Yet if you add that my allergic reaction to that could kill me.

People can I not just get a normal hamburger?

If you are paying anything over 10 dollars for a hamburger we should start talking about steak and prime rib.

I am talking about cooking at home though. For 20 dollars I can buy some nice m and m steaks a salad and potatoes. Feed a family of four a good meal, rather than one good burger. I am a fool paying ten dollars a burger, yet they are good burgers.

For my family? I feed them steak and prime rib cooked at home before spending 20 dollars on a burger. 80 dollar meal with top burgers. 20 dollar meal that is better for my family, with left overs.

People this is a hamburger! A three dollar item. You guys want to pay 20 dollars for it! No matter what you add to it its still a hamburger!

Spend 20 dollars on one rib steak. You will get an amazing meal. you can suck as a chef. Yet you will get a much better meal.

20 bucks for a hamburger? You people are insane!

You'd have to deduct $5 from the cost of a burger to get me to put an egg onto it.

I've tried the burger at Boogie's with the fried egg and I like it.

I personally prefer burger over steak. My wife thinks that's weird but that's the truth. I will almost always choose a burger over a steak, especially if I do not know about the chewiness of the steak (such as at a bbq).

Cooking at home is cheaper but what fun is there in that?

I wonder if there is anything on a burger that won’t cause him to be violently ill. “Uh, I will have a burger without any toppings and hold the bun.”

When or if you dine out, you should state your allergy and ask whether there is any egg IN the burger. House made burger patties often have egg in the mix as a binder.

So McD's is rolling out fresh beef instead of frozen patties for their Quarter Pounders in the continental US by May.

Predictions on how it will be received?

I'll wager that they will market the crap out of it but it won't be that much of a difference taste wise.

Don't get me wrong as I'm all for fresh beef patties but in the case of McDonalds and most chains I'm not sure if you would be able to tell once cooked, seasoned, with condiments.

I would assume it means not frozen at any time, like Wendy's.

I wonder how much of a difference freezing a burger for a short period of time (say 5 to 10 days) really makes?

Isn't most beef typically Frozen in the butchering process? Either way flash freezing beef makes no difference to taste as long as the beef doesn't unfreeze and refreeze.
