As we said at the outset of the 2011 Battle of the Burgers, we recognize that the bracket format is not without its flaws. Sometimes a terrific rookie (Tom's) faces a legend (Kincaid's) and gets eliminated too early. And sometimes a rookie (H2) upends a burger titan (Pappas Burger). So while we abide by the bracket results, we also offer this 1-32 ranking of all the burgers we tasted over the past six months. And we get one more chance to say bravo to all the great burgermeisters in DFW.
