This reminds me that once I asked a Japanese-speaking friend what the word for tonkatsu made with chicken is, and she said it was "chikinkatsu," which is totally funny.</p> Neil, I am going to pitch this story right now.

Though I think the classic and most common is the Oyakodon with chicken and a partially poached egg. Tempura don is usually just called tendon.

I mean, I know it's a bowl of rice with stuff on top, but beyond that...care to enlighten me? I know of teriyaki don, tempura don, katsu don. Oh, and unagi don, of course. Hmm, this could dovetail with the fact that I've been meaning to buy a live eel.</p> <p>Lauren, that sounds great. Save me one.</p> Neil, that’s a good idea, although I don’t know much about the range of things that qualify as donburi.

So great that I had to make a tartine for breakfast. Mine had fontina, smoked chicken and a sunny side up egg on top.
