WHO WINS?: The rating period for a featured burger is open for two weeks. We are using Survey Monkey for this process. We’ll have a link to each business’s rating page on this site during that two-week period. Customers rank from 1-5 stars on each category: flavor, patty, toppings, bun, and presentation. Each rating submitted for a business accumulates points (1-5) for each category. There is not a weekly winner. The overall battle winner will be announced when the final week of voting ends on May 29.
