    BR Burger Elite Eight + 4

    Dearman's and Riverside advance


    Riverside Patty beats Frost Top
    Burger Delite ties with Tramonte's. Since I have not eaten at either I will withdraw my vote for Tramonte's to break the tie

    Winners are in for the second round of matchups. Brewbacher's and George's were the victors. Links below.

    Edit: Since there has been so many requests to add Riverside Patty I'm going to tweak the brackets a little. To keep the brakets even I'm going to have to add 4 places: Riverside Patty, Burger Delite, Tramonte's, and Frost Top.

    See updated Brackets below.


    So in Dallas D Magazine does a best burger issue once a year where they take the 32 best burger places and create an NCAA type bracket. Then they judge them head to head to determine a overall winner. I thought I would try that with Baton Rouge.

    Since there are fewer burger places and in the interest of time I used the Best Burger thread to narrow down to the top eight. I split them into two brackets and seeded them 1-4. First round machups are 1-4, 2-3 on each side. Winner will be determined via forum vote. Click link to the right of the matchup. The first two games will be Raul's vs Ivars and Dearman's vs Sammy's. Votes close Thursday.

    Round one voting is winding down and will close today about 3pm. Dearman's and Raul's currently lead but voting has been light so that could easily change. Get your votes in now.
