We know you have them in your brain: Those favorite shops you frequent again and again. The restaurants you recommend to your friends. The stores with great customer service or unusual offerings.

Well, here's your chance to tell the world.

Beginning Feb. 27, we'll be asking for your recommendation on the best places in town for everything from burgers to car repair.

With your help, we'll put a list together of nominees. Then you can 'vote' for your favorite by leaving a review on the business's directory listing on Patch Places. The winner will be determined by the Mentor Patch Local Editor Jason Lea, based in large part on the reviews. And be nice: we'll only consider positive reviews in making our decision.

The first favorite we want to know about is ... hamburgers! Who's serving up the best burger in town? Do you swear by Max & Erma's? The Cruisin' 50's Diner? Maybe you like the lava burger at Cabana's Island Restaurant.

 But what do you think? Add your nomination in the comment section below. And come back to Mentor Patch next week to review your favorite burger!
