BURGERGUYZ:

The 2013 Burger Tour of the Valley

September update

 By Jerry Tranovich                                                                                  

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 awesome burgers, took the #4 spot away from Trax Restaurant & Lounge. And earlier this month, JD's Post House received a solid 3½ star 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! Get your favorite on our hit-list by commenting here, on Facebook, or by email: mvbrb@hotmail.com. We'll keep you posted!
