The Strange Carolinas North Carolina Burger Bracket

Help us find the best burger joint in North Carolina!

We asked you guys for your favorite places to grab a burger in North Carolina and you didn't let us down. We thought long and hard about visiting all the places on the list ourselves to name the best burger, but we became a bit concerned with the damage it could possibly do to our waistlines and wallets, so we thought we'd let you guys do it instead!

Over the next three weeks, we're going to break this down bracket style and find the best burger joint in North Carolina! Restaurants will go head-to-head for 36 hours and the one with the most votes heads on to the next round. We'll keep doing this until we crown a champion, THE BEST BURGER IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Here's the schedule:
March 13th & 14th: First round voting
March 15th & 16th: Second round voting (this will determine the final sixteen participants)
March 20th & 21st: Third round voting
March 22nd & 23rd: Fourth round voting (this will determine the final four participants)
