Eat Your Way Through the Burger Cup Using These Three Easy Steps
We here at the Beijinger all believe that a good voter is an informed one. Therefore, we strongly urge local foodies to conduct as much research as possible before casting their ballots in the most important meat-related poll of the year: the 2016 rendition of our 64-contestant Burger Cup.
Thankfully, there are plenty of meals left to sample the best the city has to offer before public voting begins on May 30.
A diligent eater could squeeze 20 burger-based meals into their lunch and dinner schedule before the vote. True gluttons could maybe raise that to 30 or more by doing three-a-days: wake up at 10, consume an early lunch burger at 11; eat some sliders at a late afternoon happy hour; then conclude their night out drinking with a burger before hopping into an Uber home.
Here's how you can eat your way to becoming a Beijing Burger Baron before the voting begins:
Step One: Sample on Your Own Time (now through May 27)
Let our list of Burger Days discounts be your guide: here's your chance to sample burgers you haven't tried before, or sway your friends by inviting them out to try what you already know to be the best.
You could do worse than benchmarking yourself against last year's top dozen burgers, filling in the gaps on your dance card to make sure you've sampled last year's champions. To recap, last year's Top 12, please click here.
Step Two: Attend the Burger Festival (May 28)
Now that you've tried on your own time, here's a chance to do it en masse. Come to our May 28 Burger Festival, prime time for you to do some one-stop shopping. This year we have many of last year's heavy-hitters, and a bunch of freshman competitors including Dongli Brewery, Koli's Camp, Bunny Drop, CHAT ROOM, and more.
