Round 1 votes are in, and Marshall County’s one and only Lakehouse Grille of Culver moved ahead in Northern Indiana Burger Wars by beating out Shoreline Brewery in Michigan City by 48 votes.
Over the last ten days the votes have been pouring in to decide who moves on from the first round of the Northern Indiana Burger Wars! More than 20,000 votes have been cast, creating a tight race for all of the county winners! At the end of the first round, The Lakehouse Grille of Culver, Rieglings Coppertop of Wolcottville, The View Tavern of South Bend, and The Flippin’ Cow of Elkhart all move on to the final four! Though these restaurants moved on to the second round, it was not an easy road for them. Most of these winners won by fewer than one hundred votes! With the voting so close, every vote matters!
