And here we are with today's PM Burger Brackets face-off! As you can see above, we've merged the two brackets, and will alternate back and forth between the red and the green brackets as we go forward. Currently, Five Guys is battling Billy Martin's Tavern for burger supremacy (hint: if you're a Billy Martin fan, you may want to get over there and vote, and then tell all one thousand of your closest friends to vote as well). The Five Guys vs. Billy Martin poll will stay open until 10 AM tomorrow.

This afternoon's burger face-off is...

Happy Friday morning, burger lovers, and welcome to the second round of the Burger Brackets! While there is still one outstanding Burger Brackets going on in the green bracket (Morton's vs. Smith & Wollensky, which is open for voting until 2 PM today), we're also starting voting for those who made it through to the second round. There are some big names in here—Five Guys, Ray's Hell Burger, and more—so make sure to vote early and spread the word to make sure your favorite gets through to the second round.

Also, on the advice of some commenters and more, uh, sports-knowledgeable folks than us, we've re-seeded the second rounds to reflect vote totals. 

We'll continue doing the two-a-day face-offs for the next four weekdays, and then we'll move to a one-a-day face-off when we advance to the third round.

But enough explaining! This is about the deliciousness of burgers, not how much we can write about the rules. Let's head to today's face-off—and it's a doozy. 

(PS: Later today, we'll be merging the two brackets, so you'll be able to see all participating burger spots. For now you can see the green bracket here.)

In a Burger Brackets nail-biter that was too close to call till the end, Quarry House just edged out Vermilion—seriously. We're talking a couple of votes making the difference here, folks. Who said your vote didn't matter? It does in Burger Brackets.

It was a face-off of epic proportions amongst two classic spots yesterday—Capital Grille vs. Clyde's. Both put in a good effort, but Capital Grille came out on top, with 56% of the vote. See ya, Clyde's!

We have to admit, we thought the throngs of Whitlow-goers would make sure that that Arlington spot came out on top—but looks like EatBar's got its own fair share of fans, as it whizzed right past Whitlow's burger in yesterday's face-off.

As much as we love Sonoma, the cozy wine bar couldn't stand up to the leagues of Chadwick burger fans. So the Georgetown branch of this friendly neighborhood pub moves up and on.
