Battle of the BURGERS Lauren Wood Entertainment Editor
Four MSU students have ventured around Wichita Falls with one mission in mind. These four brave testers explored wellknown local burger joints, in hopes of finding the best burger in the city. They asked locals what their favorite places were, and the testers narrowed it down to four
restaurants: Scott’s Drive-In, Ronnie’s Burgers, MT’s CafÊ Sports Bar and Grill and Gene’s Tasty Burger. At each place, the testers sampled a burger, and judged it on flavor, greasiness and size. Now, after their arteries are clogged and their stomachs are full, they have made their decision of who they think has the best burger in town. Photos by Lauren Wood.
