The finals are set for Metro Detroit's best burger — it's Miller's vs. Mercury.
Between the lines: The final two caught us a little by surprise, but the storylines write themselves: an old-school suburban mainstay in Dearborn against a Corktown neighborhood favorite.
State of play: Both Miller's and Mercury went up against classic slider joints in the final four.
- Miller's clipped Motz's Burgers and Mercury topped Telway.
What's next: Vote by 4pm Tuesday.
Don't forget: The Detroit Burger Battle is at Eastern Market from 1-5pm Sunday.
