between 1968 and maybe a decade ago, there was a bar next to the U of Utah called Big Ed's, and I think you know the place already: the beer is not very good.

@aaron YES! as a bonus you don't visit the fucking trendy place with boring modern american food.
@regehr RIGHT
Hip new restaurant that's not burgers, tacos, or pizza challenge: IMPOSSIBLE -
anyhow, when home alone I still make myself one of these sometimes

@regehr omg

@regehr This reminds me of the Good Morning Burger from The Simpsons (which I have made--once).

@regehr with like idaho spuds hashbrowns I could see the vision. I actually have something similar for a regular breakfast item, just without the onions
@ashguy just an over easy egg on fried potatoes is something I eat probably 40 times a year

@gwozniak The White Spot in Charlottesville VA, where I went to grad school, served this legendary burger. I never had one sober (nor had anyone I know) but at 2am it was glorious

@regehr There was a place where I grew up called Fast Eddie's. They used to have burgers for 29 cents as a special.
When sobriety was not on the table, those burgers sure as hell were.

@regehr yours probably doesn't have 10s of years of griddle char to properly season everything fried.

@lenary too true, but it still works

@gwozniak we had a Fast Eddie's where I grew up too! it closed before I turned 18

@regehr LOL
Well, this is what the ones here look like.I've got a few stories about that place.
-
I took a few liberties:
- tater tots since I didn't have time to make real hash browns
- shallots instead of onions (too strong!! will not repeat)
- just one fried egg@regehr I worked in Chicago 20 years ago and there was this restaurant that served what they called the “breakfast energizer.” Very similar concoction. A bed of hashbrowns, onions, cheese, eggs on a big ass oval platter. It was massive. Decorated with a sprig of parsley and a referral to a cardiologist.
Similarly glorious. Also similar in how often one can/should eat it.
-
@regehr LOL

@regehr Looks like the price of a burger is about 10x more than when I was in high school.
Feel sorry for the kids these days.

@gwozniak on the other hand, other day my wife and I were remarking about how much our kids (both in college) seem to go out to eat. it seems like it's definitely multiple times a week, whereas we ate out like, I don't know, once a month in college? cause we had no money at all

@regehr Yeah, eating out was a treat when I was young (and well into university). I remember when I got stitches out my dad promising me we'd go to McDonald's if I didn't cry. I didn't cry. We didn't go to McDonald's. (I still didn't cry.)
But those drunk garbage food binges were a helluva a lot of fun.
-
anyway, before Big Ed's closed (the owner apparently had a gambling problem and borrowed a lot of money before leaving town suddenly), one of the items on the menu was The Godawful: a huge pile of hash browns topped with chili topped with fried eggs topped with cheese topped with raw onions. with a bit of hot sauce it was a glorious, perfect food. you could not eat it very often and survive, but still it was amazing.
@regehr OK, I've got leftover chili in the fridge! I might have to scrounge for the tater tots, but this sounds amazing.

@regehr oh sure, it probably also causes fewer heart attacks.

> shallots instead of onions (too strong!! will not repeat)
I always use shallots when I want something oniony but weaker.
