SESAME SEED ROLL PLEASE!

While burger puns for titles don't always work, the power of the internets work all the time. With a turnout that was just over 100% more than we expected, we humbly crown B&B Junction as the 2013 Burger King.
We'll leave the crowning ceremony details in the hands of Cheerleader Corgi (who's also our new BBBB intern) while the Burger Brothers head out to B&B Junction to paw over the trophy.
Special shout out to @HaiiLizzayy for casting the deciding vote!

Hunger Games: Catching Fire-Grilled

Round One is done. Let's recap.
Graffiti Junction vs. Hamburger Mary's: Bracket luck reared it's ugly head on this match up. Two strong contenders went head to head on the first day of competition sending a great place to get a burger home early. Despite both having a good menu with great atmosphere, Graffiti edged out Mary's better all around play and filling the stat lines with a better burger menu, more approachable atmosphere and, of all things, nachos.
Jimmy Hula's vs. Oblivion Taproom: Hula's tried to make history by attempting to be the first Caribbean style burger joint to advance out of the first round. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. The bad boys of "The Grill" at Oblivion came out strong from the beginning with an awesome selection of burgers, a deep tap of Draught beers, and secret weapon Cajun flavored tater tots that will carry Oblivion deep into the tourney.
Junior Colombian Burger vs. Johnny's Fillin' Station: The title of "Best Burger in O-Town" is on the line and no burger joint is feeling the pressure more than Johnny's. Junior Colombian Burger came into this match with nothing to lose and nothing to fear. In the end, it was that lack of fear that propelled the one burger team over Johnny's 11 burger assault. Many thought Johnny's dive bar/sports bar atmosphere would make it a clear winner over JRCB's counter seating only design, but strong burgers will win this burger contest. And a strong burger is what Junior Colombian Burger made its reputation on.
CRAVE vs. B&B Junction:
B&B will be this tourney's little burger that could by packing a surprisingly diverse and delicious menu into a nearly unknown place. CRAVE boasted a fancy menu with a gourmet twist, but it was that flash and flair that would be it's downfall. Burger tournaments are won and lost by how well any one burger joint executes their burgers and CRAVE was just too complicated to come out on top. Prepare yourself folks, B&B Junction is just getting started.
Whiskey Dicks vs. Burger Fi:
At the end of this people will ask "Who let Burger Fi into this tournament?" I don't have an answer. Burger realignment needs to happen and it needs to happen now before people suffer from another over hyped and over priced burger joint like Burger Fi. Whiskey pretty much got a free pass this round but that doesn't mean they aren't here to contend. They have a strong burger lineup with standout star "Big Tom" pretzel bun burger. Go here and enjoy. 'Nuff said.
Beth's Burger Bar vs. Pine 22: Girls just want to have fun and fun will be had. In the "Battle of the Build Your Own's" Beth's came out swinging, taking down fan favorite Pine 22. While Beth's burger options were more limited than Pine's and while Pine had more memorable burger combinations, service and execution did Pine 22 in. Note to future contenders: Don't make us come to the beer, make the beer come to us. I know we said strong burgers won this tournament and it seems like we're going against our own words...But you gotta remember one thing. We're suckers for Beth's Double D's.
Five Guys vs. Burger 21: Arm chair burger chefs will argue this match up for all burger time. They'll claim things like "favoritism" and "bracket manipulation" and "Greedo shot first." That's the talk of burger fanboy madness. Burger 21 is the new kids on the block fooling you with fancy contemporary decor and trendy restaurant tactics. Five Guys delivers with hardcore burger deliciousness, plain and simple. Those who come across their patented "burger triangle offence" of Bacon Cheeseburger-All Black Row-Large Cajun fries later in this tourney will need to watch out.
Boardwalk Burger vs. Smokey Bones: Smokey Bones went under a bit of rebuild period after getting new ownership. The result? Exactly what you would want from a casual dining style chain restaurant trying to make it's way though a burger tournament. Good burgers, comfortable atmosphere, good service, sports, and beer. With what could be the tournament's best starting 5, Boardwalk came away with an expected loss. It doesn't mean Boardwalk can't be a contender in its own right. It just means they'll fly under the radar for bigger name places... Like every round winner on this list.

Burgers? Check. Bar? Check. Maybe even Beth!
A b.y.o.b. establishment with a diner style environment, but with beer! We stumbled over whether or not this place was a true b.y.o.b. or a traditional burger joint, so come here for yourself and argue your own point.
Despite its burger ambiguity, one of us liked it here more than the other. Not to say the other one didn't like it. Falling under the classic American style burger umbrella, the fine folks here at Beth's offer burgers by the patty stack. Top it with your choices of cheeses, sauces and toppings that range from lettuce to pineapple. (I highly recommend the peanut butter, my new fave!) Beth's lacks any premade burger options but is also slim on the number of burger toppings, so that's the root of our great burger debate.
Built to order, or build your own, whichever you want to call it, its a fine place to come and debate the sepcification of its true burger classification and enjoy a damn tasty burger while you do it!
As we argued even further over the rating, as I gave it a 3 and my burger bro gave it a solid 2.8, I, as the curator of this fine blog, gave it a 3.2 out of 4!
Boom.
Oh yeah, for the brave, they also have the Double D challenge burger. Check it out!
There's a new burger joint on the block, bitches, and I say it challenges every other downtown burger option. Bold statement, I know.

Burger21
Forever Burger21...FOR-EV-ER...Hopefully not...
The ever growing hip trend of burger joints extended it's reach to the Millennia Mall area.
We really wanted to write a clever review for this place. We wanted to include bad puns and obnoxious opinions. We wanted to do so much, but unfortunately we were given so little. We were uninspired and unimpressed. The burgers were, well, boring. Extremely over-seasoned (SALTY!) and boring. We even "OMG'd" the "OMG," but sadly LOL'd at the execution. It killed us smalls. It was a big fat NO-M-G. Get it? You see what we did there????
(For the record, to OMG a burger means to double-stack any burger. They have an OMG burger, which is double stacked, so we doubled stacked the double stack.)
People really seem to like this place, as there's quite a bit of buzz circulating around. We however, would rather take a circular saw and buzz this place in half! Whoooops! I said it. I was trying not to, but i did. We just didn't like it here.
Tread lightly, but check it out for yourself.
Oh, and PS, Sundaes are NOT milkshakes.
Also, the cookies are quite good and "Side Sister" approved.
1 last also. We have it on good authority that their veggie burger is really good. They also offer gluten-free options.

B&B Junction - 1/16/13
Simply put: B&B Junction = B&B Awesome!
Rotating beer taps and plenty of unique and "alternative" burger options are just a few reasons that will make you want to frequent this place to try them all!
Too often, most burger joints claim to offer different takes on burgers, when it's really just uninspired derivatives of the same ol' boring "house burger." This place actually delivers and urges you to try the other options, which include 8 burgers and 10 "alternative" burgers to choose from. Not to mention fries, snacks+soups, wings, cheeses and greens.
Located in the old Winter Park location of 4 Rivers, a legendary place in its own right, B&B Junction needed to deliver an experience that allowed it to step out of the shadow of it's former inhabitant, creating it's own legacy. For us, it did just that. A vast beer and burger menu will surely allow this place to not just be "that place where 4Rivers use to be," but rather a great burger joint to check out that not only embraces the "farm to table" concept, but local craft beers and rotating beer taps. (they will also keep your tab open during your dining experience, which oddly enough, is a rare thing)
In closing; B&B Junction, it literally means BEER & BURGERS! 2 of our most favorite things in the world.
4 B's out of 4!

5 Guys, 4 Buns, 3 Patties, 2 Bro's, and 1 Awesome place to grab Burgers! (and some nuts)
FIVE GUYS BURGER AND FRIES!
In the trend of new hipster burger joints opening up, with ice cream and milkshakes, beers galore, and montsrous B.Y.O.B. options, this original American style burger joint will always take the blue ribbon in my book. Although...some beer would be a nice addition! I always find myself at these new burger joints saying to myself, "for my money, I'd rather go to 5Guys!" And today we did. You should to.
We consider this burger to be the Notorious B.I.G. burger of the east coast vs west coast Burger Battle. We here at BBBB have much love for 2Pac and west coast burgers, but we remain East Side til we die! Yeah, Yeah. And if you don't know what we are talking about....Your Ass Better Ask Somebody!
We like Five Guys.
4B's out of BBBB
P.S. Hotdogs are for pussies!
P.P.S. There is an unspoken challenge of finishing your double patty burger AND YOUR ENTIRE bag of fries. In case you're wondering...1/2 of the BURGER BRO's regularly acquires this achievement.

BOARDWALK FRESH BURGERS AND FRIES
There's a new burger joint in town, Folks, and it brings a ripe history from Maryland down with it.
However, that is about all they brought. They've got plenty of options to choose from, including a B.Y.O.B option, but they seemed to have leftt out the flavor, or the heart. They had about 20 people behind the counter, so the service was quite fast, but their method of steaming the burger just did not work for me. I saw the young lady behind the counter dousing the burger and the areas all around with water and then capping it with a lid, and it seemed like she used quite a bit of water. I am no chef, by any means, but it looked like an excessive amount and when I got my burger, it was a greasy mess.
The burgers were not BAD per say, but we were not overly impressed, nor were we blown away. Sure its a new burger joint in an ever growing burger boom that is going on right now, which we highly encourage, but for our money, for a similar style burger, we'd much rather spend it at 5Guys, or even the newer BurgerFi in Winter Park.
Not terrible, but not great. Personal preferences apply, so check it out for yourself. You just might like extra greasy burgers, it might truly make you feel American, but unfortunately, I did not.

HAMBURGER MARY'S
A whole lot of burgers, and a whole lot of Mary's. This place is straight outta a John Waters movie and loved for every aspect of such. Clever menu titles, plenty of burgers to chose from, cheesy movie posters on the walls, a full liquor bar, friendly staff and prime downtown location.
Sure Hamburger Mary's is a chain, but it's a small chain and probably one unlike any you've ever been to. Check out their delicious burgers, their campy decor and their John Waters approved atmosphere. I of course don't know John Waters, and do not know if he has actually "approved" this place or not, but we have, and you should check it out to see if you do.
PS. save room for their fried twinkies.

SMOKEY BONES
There are times when a place surprises you, throws you for a complete loop…Zigs when it was suppose to bring you the same old tired burger on a plate. My friends, Smokey Bones was just this sort of place.
It’s not a burger joint or dive bar…It’s a chain restaurant. One where everything is catered for mass appeal and where nothing is special. So how could this place have one of the better burgers I’ve ever tasted?
Smokey Bones has a clever game plan to combat the boring burgers you see on a typical RESTAURANT menu: the build your own burger. Our mission for this night? Take advantage of all the choices at our disposal. I’m not going to list every option on the list, but chances are you’ll be able to create your dream burger. I certainly did. A half pound of certified angus beef topped with swiss, chipotle ketchup, a fried egg, peppered bacon and hickory pulled pork. That’s right, pulled pork. This was a burger so mighty it deserves a mighty name. And so forth from this day on, this burger shall be known as “The Old McDonald Burger.” Why? Because Old McDonald had a farm. He had a chicken there, a pig over by the barn and a cow…wherever the cows are. And, despite Mother Goose’s best efforts, all those animals ended up on my burger. Ei ei oh-yeah.
For a tasty, juicy, BYOB with fresh ingredients, (they also have a list of pre designed burgers to choose from) in an unpretentious environment, check this place out. 2.5 B’s out of 4 B’s

OBLIVION TAPROOM ORLANDO
Oh dang, we’ve just gone and accidentallied ourselves. I think we died and went to burger heaven. No, check that, we must be in actual heaven. It’s official; The Burger Brothers Burger Blog have invaded Oblivion Taproom. This Mecca of everything inherently “us” is an all out hit in my mind. At this Playboy Mansion of burger joints, we had the "Hog Wild" burger – a beef burger topped with chopped pork, caramelized onions, bacon, BBQ sauce, onion rings and sharp cheddar all on a bun and "the pretzel" - grilled beef, caraway beer mustard, a side of cheese sauce (cheez whiz) and lettuce, tomato, onion on the side- while The Misfits and Social Distortion played in the background. They also let you season your side of choice in one of their select seasonings (I got some Tots in Cajun). Who’s not going to love that? Communists, that’s who!
They have 8 beefy burgers to choose from, NOT including their delightfully sounding, $25 burger, "the fat ass," which comes with more toppings than space I have to list them. It was however a school night, so needless to say, we both wussied out on the opportunity.
I found "The Pretzel" to be extremely boring in taste, while the "Hog Wild" was magically delicious. For this, we were kind of split. However, we both LOVED the vibe, the feel and the environment. If you love truly American burgers, great music and tattoo shop environments, go to Oblivion Taproom. Or go to hell. Or Canada…I hear they’re similar.

Junior Colombian Burger
a.k.a. The. Best. Burger. Ever. Period.
Simply put, there is no other burger like this! Sure, some of those ingredients just don't sound right, but we have a saying around the burger office, and it's "Just order the Double and don't cause NO f'n trouble!" Seriously, this burger rocks. Everything works perfectly together. Just be warned...one may not be enough! I have often finished a double and nearly order another right away!
According to legend...this burger is only made one way. If a customer requests anything off it, the owner encourages them to try it "as is" and if they're not satisfied, he will no only make them a burger to their likings, but will also issue a full refund. To this day...no refunds!
In all my years of eating and making burgers, as well as my short tenure as 1/2 of the burger brothers burger blog, i have never had a burger that was as tasty and has resonated as well as this one!
and open til 4 AM!!!!!

Johnny's Fillin' Station
"Best Burger in O-Twon!"
Burgers here are made to order so you cannot expect speedy service, which is a good thing. But you go to Johnny's as much for the burger as you do to just hang out and kick some back, whether those be Flyin' Dog Pale Ale's or Coca-Cola Classics.
We really dug our burgers, which were exceptionally greasy and ate them in a matter of minutes, but unfortunately, it did not leave any lasting impressions. It was a tasty, greasy, American style, dive bar burger, which we generally LOVE, but it somehow failed to live up to the expectations that we, and many other locals hold a torch to.
Johnny's is a fun place to hang out with some buds. Perhaps grab a few drinks, watch a sporting event and you grab a damn tasty burger while you're at it (they also offer chicken wings and subs/sandwiches). Just be prepared that there's a good chance that you may be more impressed with the buns on your waitress than some of the bun options on the actual menu. Check it out for sure, cross it off your list, and try all their burgers (they've got 7 different burgers to choose from). If you're not into football and perhaps a rowdy crowd, I would avoid going here on Sundays during football season. I would also expect Friday and Saturday nights to get pretty rowdy, but have not gone personally to guarantee this. They've also got an "other side" across the parking lot which I have yet to check out that has other menu options as well.

Whiskey Dick's - Downtown Orlando
We came here for the pretzel buns and DID NOT LEAVE DISAPPOINTED! The burgers were good but the pretzel buns were the true standouts! I am unsure of many other places in Orlando, if any, that offer pretzel buns and that is reason alone to check this place out. Typical downtown bar and grill setting with a full bar that may or may not bring in your type of crowd. They offer traditonal burgers and your not so traditional, such as the "Big Tom," with a juicy meat patty, fried egg, tasty onion straws and Jack Daniels bacon slathered in BBQ sauce. They also offer very tasty fries, sammies and salads but c'mon! You know you want a Pretzel Bun Burger!

CRAVE Restaurant at Mall at Millenia
Unfortunately, we had a split decision in the cards on this one. Where one burger shined, the other one failed, and miserably at that. The Spicy Lamb Burger, with it's harissa aiolia, caramelized onions, and perfectly melted goat cheese blended perfectly with my palette. The CRAVE Burger, however, was "like taking a cheap ground beef, not flavoring it, and then topping it with a perfectly crisp $10 bill that you'll never see again, wasted." Harsh words I know, but this burger had no taste and no redeeming qualities. We were disappointed with their "signature" burger, but not their Spicy Lamb Burger. Good vibe and PLENTY of different foods to choose from, CRAVE is worth checking out. Just tread lightly...
