        <content>Well I just had to check out the "best burger" in the city. So of course I choose Loie's fried egg and leek burger. I ordered the meal as part of thier $25 sunday brunch which included app. entree and bottomless momosa or bloody mary's. 

I started with the Bloodymary which was so aweful it made me sick. It was so overly spiced (not necessarily hot spices). So I switched to momosa which was also rather undrinkable. The app of lobster bisque was very good.

Now the burger. Ordered medium rare, it came out raw, which I don't perfer but I can certainly deal with. The egg perfecftly runny. After about two bites I noticed that all the juice had bleed thru the botton of the roll. The bottom portion of the roll was cut so thin the burger fell apart by the fourth bite. With a third of the sandwich gone and having already sent back the bloodymary, I decided not to protest. My wifes burger was the same although she is not as tolerant about the lack of doneness. The leeks have no business on the burger as the overwhelmed the meat.

Overall, just not great.

      <content>Never thought much of Loie.  Went once and never returned.  I don't think it is particularly overrated.</content>
