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.
-
Fosselman's Ice Cream Co. has been around for 107 years. Here's how it got its start. -
Nearly a century in, the Fairfax institution is still going strong — feeding Canter's original patrons’ grandkids and their grandkids. -
After a spate of plant-based restaurant closures, we talk to people who follow a vegan lifestyle about alternatives.
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.
