Voters Oust 32 Burgers From the Ultimate Beef Battle

In our winner takes all Burger Cup only the most mouthwatering, succulent, willing-to-queue-for-half-an-hour-just for-a-single-bite burgers survive onto the next round. And as can be expected, all four 1-seeds (Slow Boat, Great Leap Brewing, Home Plate, and Blue Frog) managed to coast into the Round of 32. Many of the other matchups, however, proved more intriguing: three 10-seeds (Lush, Morton’s of Chicago, and Jamaica Blue) managed to knock out their higher-seeded counterparts. Also, remarkably, 11-seeded Drunk Craft Beer & Restaurant managed to knock out 6-seeded Ramo.
