Everyone has a favorite go-to burger, one they cherish and love and eat over and over again, but with all the new restaurants opening in Charleston, there's bound to be a contender for an updated favorite. When opening a new eatery, the chef must decide if there will be a meaty stack on the menu or not. A few of these beefy creations are piled with toppings, while others keep it simple with the classic cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomato.

To be considered for the Burger Heatmap, Eater looked at restaurants less than a year old (or just a bit over) and establishments with completely revamped menus. These 9 choices are the latest meaty options to hit the Lowcountry.
