We're Looking for the Most-Loved Burger in the Southland

Get ready for the All-American Burger Battle. Which south suburban hamburger is the meatiest, juiciest, tastiest of all time?

We all know the best burger in America is the one you grill in your own back yard. But when you go out for a burger, whose burger do you crave the most?

Americans love their burgers. And there may not be a food in the world more associated with the good ol' US of A than the hamburger. As we celebrate the 238th year of our independence, voting begins Monday in the Patch 2014 All-American Burger Battle.

Help us elect the most-loved burger in the Southland. The following restaurants were nominated by Patch fans recently. If you see a favorite spot missing, let us know in the comments.
