ramen burger ontology--OT

[Joel S. Berson]

Sounded good to me, too.  I have a favorite local diner I might
suggest it to, as an alternative to the "New York potato pancakes" on
their menu for all-hours breakfast.  And they could offer it without
the provolone ... or with non-dairy cheese.  (I think the chipotle
mayo can be eaten with meat -- Wikipedia tells me eggs are "pareve",
neither meat nor dairy, an interesting concept for something that
emerges from a chicken.)
