For the first time ever in a Caliente food bracket, we had a tie. So we took it to OT.
Trident Grill, 2033 E. Speedway, and Sullivan’s Eatery & Creamery, 6444 N. Oracle Road, finished Round 16 of Caliente’s Burger Madness in a dead heat, each drawing 337 votes.
To break the tie we put the matchup on Facebook for a “like” vote on Tuesday. The contest was close throughout the day until Trident Grill pulled ahead to advance, winning 507-482.
There were a lot of claims made in the comments about the high quality of the burgers, staff and um, other virtues of both restaurants.
“The bar is forged from pure gold and unicorns roam the floor constantly. I can say in all honesty that I have yet to see a unicorn in Sullivan’s ....... just sayin …” posted Ed Slocum on Trident’s burger photo.
