2013 Burger Cup: Balloting Continues! Vote for Your Favorite Now!

TheBeijinger Burger Cup 2013 voting is underway! The first round of balloting opened Monday for the round of 64, with Beijing's top burger joints starting to shoot it out.

This year, we're doing things a little bit differently. Our bracket was based on last year's final voting, after which we included a list of worthy newcomers. We've removed all international chains from competition. China competitors are fine, but those international interlopers are out. Also, this year, we'll have three rounds of voting, followed by a live cook-off in August, where the Great Eight will cook-off, head to head, with final voting taking place on site. Who will crack under the August heat, and who raise the cup?

You will decide. It's a public vote and the first round is live right now. We'll be offering prizes to you, our readers, as the competition goes on. Our downloadable bracket will follow in a later round.

Click here to begin voting. The current round continues until 10am, Monday, July 22. The survivors continue their journey towards the Burger Cup at 2pm, July 22. May the best burger win!
