We’re a week in, and we’ve already got boatloads of nominations! Thanks to all of you. But we want more!
While some frontrunners are already beginning to emerge (our lips are sealed), there’s still room for your favorite. That cheeseburger that has a special place in your heart — and stomach — is begging right now to be noticed.
Even in these early stages, we’ve noticed trends in a few categories you’re highlighting.
Support for LAist comes from
Best Value is clearly on your minds — you’re savvy diners, after all — as well as Biggest (perhaps connected to Best Value), while Cheesiest and Overall Quality are also showing up.
And it seems Unique Toppings is particularly valued, something we’d expect from you, our eclectic, adventurous readers.
So keep sending us your nominations, using the form below. You’ve got until midnight Friday, May 30, to express your deepest cheeseburger feelings! You know you have them.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
