Counting Down to Eater's Best Burger in Seattle Contest

With Eater's Burger Week comes our quest to find the best burger in Seattle. Based on the flood of entries that poured into the Eater Seattle inbox over the past few days, it's clear this is going to be a fierce competition.

Here's how it will work: We have divided the 16 top-nominated burgers into four categories. Each day four burgers will compete in each category. Today at 2 p.m. we will start with pub burgers, Tuesday will be fast food style, Wednesday morning, upscale restaurant burgers, and Wednesday afternoon, burger shop burgers. Voting each day will continue for approximately 24 hours.

The winners from each round will then compete in the finals on Thursday to determine the juiciest, most delicious burger in Seatle. The overall winner will then go on to compete on Eater National on Friday against the winners from the other Eater sites around the country to crown the best burger in America.

So check back often and don't forget to vote. May the best burger win!
