Eggs ‘n Things is restaurant chain that's popular across Japan that's now participating in the 'an Makanai' festival, which is a celebration of food that's made by staff for staff, typically in a short amount of time with whatever ingredients are on hand. For a limited time, the public has the chance to sample a few of the unusual in-house creations that are typically only enjoyed by staff.

One of the most intriguing items on the festival menu is the [Loco Moco Pancake Burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-coco-loco-yogurt), which is made of three [fluffy pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-bacon-pancakes), two meat patties, lettuce, tomato and a fried egg. This all-new [pancake sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donut-burger-1) concoction from Eggs ‘n Things puts an entirely new spin on the idea of an all-day breakfast.
