It doesn't have anything to do with Bill Murray, but I want to eat it anyway: The patty is "seared on the outside, medium rare on the inside, with a molten core of melted cheese and creamy sous vide egg yolk." I want to get sucked into a Groundhog Day time warp hole and eat this every day for the rest of eternity. » 6/25/14 12:49am Today 12:49am
