We asked you to share your favorite cheeseburgers in L.A., and you answered in droves! As of this week, we've received almost 4,000 entries for the LAist Tournament of Cheeseburgers , our competition to crown the favorite cheeseburger in the land.

Now we’re unveiling the Burger Round of 32 — see below — and opening voting for the next round. Starting today (Friday), you can vote for your favorite cheeseburger eateries among the Burger Round of 32. Those votes will determine who makes it to the Savory 16 round, which will be announced on Friday May 31.



Then, a new round of voting will begin. Each week your votes will whittle the list down two more times, to the Savory 8 and then the Flavorful 4. So get voting — and get your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to vote, too.

Remember, each person can only vote once. It will all come to a head at a free event on Sunday, July 7, at Smorgasburg LA , when the top vote-getter will be crowned. We couldn’t be more proud of this list, which embraces the greatness of our SoCal food scene.

You shared the juiciest, meatiest, and cheesiest burgers as your favorites — from smash burgers with the thinnest crispy, lacy edges to thick bistro burgers found in dive bars, pop-ups, beachside locales, and beyond. Your entries reflected it all. The representation of the many neighborhoods and cities on the list also reflects the true diversity of the Tournament of Cheeseburgers , which feels distinctly LAist.

It'll be amazing to se.
