About The Competition
We took the 12 winners of our Burger Wars series and seeded them so they could not meet another winner in Round One of The Beijinger Burger Cup. We then added the 12 losers and another eight wildcards into the mix to make an initial batch of 32 burgers. The first round will leave 16 burgers facing off against each other, then there will be eight remaining, then a semi-final before a final matchup sees you decide which is the best burger in town.

It's definitely a popularity contest... I wouldn't necessarily call them Beijing's best burger joints but most definitely the Champs of Popularity

I've heard The Den and Blue Frog are both really good, but I think Blue Frog looks the best and The Den is better for brunch http://ow.ly/684tM
