Friendly competition, anyone?

With the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments just around the corner, we’re joining the fun of bracket competitions with a face-off of our own. Last year, y’all helped us name the best beach: La Jolla Shores. Now, we need your help to decide San Diego’s best burger restaurant.

Not a sports fan? No worries. Our bracket will focus on a hot topic among San Diegans: burgers.

In order to get our initial lineup of eight contestants, we want to know your favorite burger spots around town. Tell us with this survey + stay tuned to learn how to participate in the tournament.
