The Sh*tburger Cup: SmartBeijing Plumbs the Bottom End of the Market

Here we're all pretty excited about the approach of the Beijinger Burger Cup 2014, which kicks off with our launch party on August 23. Seems like our friends over at SmartBeijing are pretty excited too. So excited, that they went out and started eating burgers already, but, um, at the opposite end of the market.

The SmartBeijing Sh*tburger Cup seeks not to find Beijing's best burger, but, as Morgan Short writes, "What about Beijing's WORST burger?"

"What about the burgers that rock on up to your plate, just a slab of D-grade meat between two pieces of moldy cardboard? What about the burgers that straight-up have you clutching your stomach in sharp, stabbing, agonizing pain, tears streaming down your face in contorted misery," Short asks.

Contestants in the first round of the Sh*tburger Cup include "7-11's Lil' Disemboweler," "The Chi-Porka-Lamb Mysterywich," and "Jehovah's Fury."

Check out all the action from that other competiton here. For the Beijinger Burger Cup 2014, save the date for August 23.
