A few weeks ago I entered a pie competition which was held by local radio station, KCRW. While I sadly didn't win- my pie was a blueberry and cardamom flavor- I did have an awesome day. The event was held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art which must be on your visit list if you ever make it to L.A.
My family and I arrived a little on the early side ( I had to bring my supporters!) and figured we'd eat some lunch before the judging started. There's a couple of places to eat on the grounds of the museum, one of them being Ray's which is described as Mediterranean inspired and it had great outside seating which is a plus because my two year old can't sit still for a second!
A quick look at the menu and their Eggs Benedict burger caught my eye, I love eggs on a burger but not too many places will have it this way. I wanted to order it, I really did... but I eventually went with something else, I know you're thinking what the heck? Well it was only noon and I was still pretty fueled up from breakfast and I just knew this burger would have been huge.
I also knew that this idea had to be recreated so thanks to Ray's for the inspiration!I decided to make them sliders, a little smaller and if one wasn't enough, well another was close by just in case. For the record I ended up eating one and a half, after I finished photographing them.
The poached egg mixing with the hollandaise and then the burger was really freaking tasty, I had yolk and hollandaise all over my face but I didn't care, although I wonder how I'd have looked if I had ordered it at Ray's. If you've never tried an egg on a burger, you have to do it...I order you!
