Not sure what we're going to call it this year (maybe the BRGR, maybe the NCDoubleMeat) but I'm ramping up for this year's March Madness Tournament of Champions, where we'll be biting into 64 of the Bay area's best burgers and pitting them head-to-head. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out last year's month long PZZA competition here, here, here and here.
Let me do the math: if I eat one burger every work day until the piece debuts on March 12, I'll still be about two dozen burgers behind schedule. And you thought the life of a food critic was easy!
We're finalizing the final list of competitors soon, so don't forget to throw your suggestions into the ring before it's too late. Ive already nailed down the favorites, I just need the neighborhood joints and local dives that somehow squeeze out a stupendous meat patty under the radar. Who has your favorite burger?
