Full-frontal Cairo Burger Steel Cage Deathmatch

Lets get ready to rumble! In the left corner we have Time magazine's Cairo Bureau Chief, Scott MacLeod, declaring that Cairo's (and maybe the world's) finest hamburger can be found at Lucilles in Maadi.
In the right corner, the young upstart Jonathan Spollen, writer for the Daily News Egypt (and Egypt Today alumni) is declaring Zamalek's Crave to be the surprise winner of his comprehensive search for the finest burger in the city, with Lucilles relegated to second place.
They report, we decide! Lucilles makes a solid burger, no doubt, but Jonathan's raving support for Crave (apparently, their offering "demonstrated the flair and imagination of an extraordinary hamburger") makes me think twice.
Perhaps only I have the distanced objectivity to settle what could become a dangerous fault-line within the journalism community here. Crave is about 500 meters from my house, but always gets looked over for the more commoner-friendly Eurodeli next door. May the finest burger win.

I have an access to this blog on my computer, and it kept opening up on the same page, the one about going home to Adelaide, (that I figured had to be a girl friend). I could not update. I tried repeatedly and so found out that Adelaide is a town and now, that I saw that your header is clickable.
Why doesn't my access update?
Wow, I cam a bit late to the party, but I've made my comments known to both Scott McLeod and on my own Blog at nothungrycuziate.blogspot.com
Lucille's Burgers are actually, quite bad.
