Thanks to everyone who's sent in nominations for the 2nd annual Tournament of Cheeseburgers so far.
We’ve seen votes from all over the region, from numerous L.A. neighborhoods to Orange County, which makes us very happy.
Now, to all you procrastinators out there, who've been busy doing other things (chowing down on your favorite cheeseburger perhaps?) ... we're coming up to the deadline.
The time is now.
There are literally only a few hours left — we close the nomination round at midnight tonight (Friday, May 30).

After we've counted everything up, we'll reveal the Top 20 on Monday, June 9.
We’ll also unveil various categories such as tastiest, overall quality, best value and cheesiest.
Then you can vote on the top 20, and help pick the ultimate cheeseburger champion. You'll have till midnight on Friday June 20 to make your opinion heard.
You'll have a chance to see the champion being crowned — and try some of the highest-rated burger spots — at Smorgasburg LA on Sunday, July 20.
It will be the summer event of the season, and we can’t wait to see you there!
