Slinger

Also known as a Wilbur, and sometimes described as a "culinary car crash", slinger is a St. Louis specialty that is known as a great hangover cure. Traditionally served for breakfast or lunch, it typically consists of fried eggs, two hamburger patties, fried potatoes or hash browns, heaps of chili, and a garnish of grated cheese and chopped onions. It is usually served with hot sauce on the side. There are numerous varieties of this dish, so slingers can be served with tamales, veggie burgers, white gravy, toasted bread, or grilled onions.
