The most delicious tournament is back for another round! LAist’s second-annual Tournament of Cheeseburgers will celebrate the cheeseburger in all of its glorious forms, from smashed to vegan and everything in between. We’re also shining a light on the independent purveyors serving up this classic treat, as well as the communities they represent.
Thanks for everyone that participated in the online tournament. The voting period is now over. The burger champ will be announced on July 20 at a special live event and celebration at Smorgasburg LA. See details below and remember to register for the event.
Keep up with LAist Events.
