Burger Brackets: Elevation Burger vs. Palena Cafe

Welcome to Burger Brackets, where we ask you to vote to discover the best burger in Washington. Today's face-off is...

The second round of our Burger Brackets continues, with BLT Steak the clear winner in yesterday's match up. The steakhouse garnered 74% of the vote. BGR Burger Joint started strong, but fizzled out later in the competition.

Moving on, today's burger challenge is…

Elevation Burger: This Falls Church burger joint, known for its organic burgers and olive oil-cooked fries, crushed (we repeat, crushed) its competition earlier in the bracket. Its devoted followers turned out in hordes, flooding our comments board, and we're anticipating a similar turnout this time…

Palena Cafe: …But will it be big enough to defeat the house-ground patty, baked sesame bun, and truffle cheese combo at this Cleveland Park cafe?
