http://burgerguyz.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/img_0152.jpg?w=300&h=225" alt="" width="200" height="142">Neither of our last two stops were able to unseat Bogey's Bar & Grill from the #1 ranking. In August, The Magic Tree Pub &
Eatery, (★★★★), and their http://burgerguyz.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/img_1018.jpg?w=627&h=467" alt="" width="209" height="152">awesome burgers, took the #4 spot away from Trax Restaurant & Lounge. And earlier this month, JD's Post House received a solid 3½ star http://burgerguyz.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/img_1105.jpg?w=627&h=446" alt="" width="209" height="293">rating to move into the #7 position. Shale Tavern & Grille is still holding on to second place just 0.2 of a point behind Bogey's in the Burger of the Year race. Both have an excellent 4½ star rating. With just two more reviews remaining, will we find a new #1 burger? Next month, we're visiting Montana's Rib & Chop House in Hermitage, PA. That leaves the last slot still open!
