I have to ask which burger made USA Today's "Best Burger in Michigan" or are they just saying the restaurant serves the best burgers?

 

As a burger addict, I must know.

 i got that information from the bar's homepage : http://www.cottagebar.biz/ 

from other local awards they have received etc i am guessing they are referring to the COTTAGE BURGER
