As the Final Four plays out on TV, a tourney with more delicious implications is reaching it’s dramatic conclusion online…
BurgerBusiness.com, a website dedicated to the hamburger industry, has put out their version of the NCAA Tournament Brackets, matching up 64 of the top burger joints around the country. I can’t say that I agree very much with the burgers that made it to the tournament – where’s the Burger Joint, Corner Bistro, Hamburg Inn, Le Tub? Nor can I say that I agree with some of the winners either (McDonald’s beats BLT Burger, WTF?). But like the real NCAA’s, what makes this tourney so exciting, is that you never know who will win.
The battling burgers have battled it out to the Final 4: In-N-Out (no argument here), Rare Bar & Grill (NYC’s own), Cheeseburger Bobby’s (never had the pleasure), and Blanc Burgers + Bottle (where the heck is Leawood, KS?). Much like tonight’s classic David versus Goliath match up between Butler and Duke, the Finals pit Blanc Burgers + Bottle v. In-N-Out. Me personally, I almost always root for David. I’ve never given the Bottle Burger a try, but if I find myself in the Kansas City, MO area, I just might have to make a little side trip to Leawood.
The winning burger depends on comments made by Burger Business’ readers, of which they’ve gotten over 1,000 of so far. I would love to hear what your favorite burger is and why. I’m thinking that there just might be a Burger World Cup 2010 tournament in June, hmmm…
