I've had something like this at the local auction house. It's referred to there as a Farmer Burger. I know it has a fried egg and bacon, I'm just not sure about the cheese.
Best sandwich?

Agreed. Second best sandwich I ever had was a chicken Philly from the Tony Luke's stand at the Phillies ball park . . .
Pats and Genos are for the tourists.

I love a good sandwich and have enjoyed many.
Last night I made one of my favorites.
Raw hamburger on an onion bun.
Microwave for 15 seconds on each side to just warm the bun and meat.
Sandwich then dipped in beaten raw egg.
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
MMMMM, delicious!
Think I'll have another tonight.

Well, IMNHO....there's sauerkraut and there's sauerkraut! The quality of the 'kraut (and the meat) makes all the difference. Much like there's grits and there's grits! Having had quick grits as a pup and hating them, I've come to love slow-cooked, stone-ground corn grits. Yeah, I'm a grits-loving Yank! To some, that would be a contradiction in terms!
Grits can be delicious. I've found little difference in taste or texture between instant and regular. I've made grits for breakfast for years.
Buttered grits with salt and pepper are fine but a bit dull. My preferred grits have no butter or salt (salt is in other ingredients), but fresh ground black pepper, Tabasco or other favorite hot sauce, extra sharp cheddar or other favorite cheese, and a couple of generous spoonfuls of green chile sauce or chopped jalapenos, fresh or canned.

I like bologna and cheese with white bread.
Road trips with dad usually meant rag bologna, hoop or Colby-Jack, yeller poster paint mustard and either Wonder or Sunbeam bread.
Generally followed up with a Coke with peanuts in it and a Moon Pie.
Raw hamburger and raw egg in a bun? Am I missing something here or has your dog learned to use your computer and type your name?

Ruthie's Aunt Judy is a hamburger tartare fan. Raw hamburger, sliced onion, salt, pepper on bread. Her kitchen, her rules, she wins.
OP
If the recipe called for a pound of ground beef, my mother would get a pound and a quarter. She would eat the 1/4 pound raw while cooking.
News to me. I'm going to file that away with chitlins, mountain oysters, tripe, and brains and never think about it again.
Please, eveyone, feel free to tell me how delicious all of the above are.

"Comfort food" predates the internet by several decades I would think. Down here in the South, I've heard it as long as I remember. For me, it's any food that creates a sense of nostalgia and of times past. And if it tastes good, that's a plus. When I make pimento cheese using my mom's recipe and eat it, it reminds me of being a kid and being around mom and growing up in Miami. There are others, but most of them I can't get to taste like mom's recipes, so they don't have the same effect.

What is the point of drying out and ruining the flavor of delicious foods?
Then again, if you're the sort of epicurean who would burn a Kobe steak and smother it in ketchup. . .

The term "comfort food" conjures up many, many pleasant "mom's table" experiences that went far beyond just sustenance.
While the list is long, and like others here have said, grilled cheese and tomato soup occupy the coveted top spot.

Mom's go to was the mater soup grilled cheese combo. Usually served with some expert level advice. She's been gone for 5 years and had stopped cooking a couple of years before that, but if I make it, I swear I can hear her advice in my ear.
I love GOOD raw hamburger, always pinching off bits when I make up burgers. Never made an entire sandwich tho.
Hubby liked liked grits for breakfast, I didn't. Till I tried cheesy grits and shrimp, yum!

I grill most foods to 160 degrees (pork chops, chicken breast, burgers, etc.). No more if I can help it. Juicy, delicious, and grilled flavor. No well done happening here. Steaks are browned on either side only. I think it would be considered "medium". Plenty of juice and flavor left.

Fairly late in his career a patient came to see my FIL who was a Country Doc in Vincennes, IN.
The Patient had a jar containing a fairly large item he had passed.
Grandpa took a look and replied 'Haven't seen one of those in a while.'
'It's a Beef Tapeworm.'
The patient remembered he had sampled raw beef while cooking Burgers.

Comfort foods:
Grilled cheese & tomato soup, macaroni & cheese, chicken & biscuits(or dumplings), tuna & noodles, round steak with gravy & mashed taters, and a variety of homemade soups, potato being tops.
Those are my top picks.

Thank you for the "comfort food" explanation. I never heard the term in pre-Internet days; maybe it was popularized with Internet usage.
