Today's Hamburger of the Day is the second to come to us from Japan. The first was the MOS Burger. In the interest of fairness, I thought I'd give Japan's No. 1 burger chain a little time, too. Well, not really, I'm only writing about McDonald's Tamago Double Mac because I happened upon it on Will Work For Food.
I don't know if there's a Big Mac type jingle for this protein-packed burger, but if there is, I'd like think it goes something like this: "Two all beef patties, cheese, bacon, tamago, special sauce on a sesame seed bun." Hmm...that doesn't seem to scan as well as the original lyric, probably because there are no veggies. In this case, the tamago takes the form of a fried egg. Seems Marshall Astor isn't the only one out there who likes to top ground beef with fried eggs. For the record, the Tamago Double Mac is only slightly less excessive than Chef Astor's Mega Hamburger One. [via Tastespotting]

What's so special about a fast food burger? Any half-wit could slap an egg on a burger (That is, if they were so inclined...I'm a bit wary of that one..)

Tamago is egg in Japanese, I wonder if it's the same in Korean too.
By the way eggs in burgers rule, I get an egg at Fatburger all the time.

I had one of these a couple weeks ago. The peppery sauce on it was sort of surprising, but overall it was a typical fast food burger, by american standards. I couldn't finish it and felt kinda gross afterwards. Again, typical american mcdonalds experience.
