I'm wondering about this
sometimes you would go to a restaurant and get
eggs any style (to me that means any way you want them
sunny side up, scramble poached, over easy and an omelette
but a lot of restaurants list omelette separately and tell
thats not a style you can get..
can anyone explain?
thanks

Usually the style refers to cooking method.
An Omelette is not a style of cooking an egg. Its a dish.
The closest analogy I can come up with is toast - sticking with breakfast.
Toast can be wheat, white, sourdough and rye.
But a sandwich is not toast - for example, French Dip Sandwich or a Rueben. Sandwiches are dishes.
So when a waitress ask you for toast, you tell her what type of bread. Asking for French Dip toast is not correct.
In terms of egg styles - you have sunnyside, over-easy, medium and hard, poached and scrambled.
An omelette is like a sandwich, using the toast analogy.

I have an omelet afer church, every sunday. No, Omelets are a sepreate style. They're like scrambled eggs, only instead of being cut up in the pan, they have somehing wrapped inside them. Picture this- you have this big circle of eggs in the pan. Well, instead of cutting them, you put sausage and swiss cheese or something in the center, and fold one half of the circle over that, and finnis the cooking. Then slowly flip onto a plate. Order an omelet some time, like say at a family resutarant. You'll see.

A omelet is more or less scrambles eggs, they pour them into a pan put whatever you want in it on top of the eggs then fold it a half then turn it over until it is cooked.

Well, I worked breakfast for awhile. A plain 1-egg omelet was available at no extra charge. I guess it depends on the restaurant.

Maybe it's because omelettes are made from a few eggs and include fillings, so are more expensive to make, so they need to charge something different.

an omelette is a certian way they cook the egg usually with other ingredients. There is no such thing as a sunny side up omellete unless you can find your own way to create it...
