2022 Juicy Burger Cup Round of 32 – The Burger Battle Continues
Things are hotting up in the Beijinger’s2022 Juicy Burger Cup, with your votes slashing the initial field of 64 to a mere 32 survivors!
Vote here in the Round of 32:
It’ll be no surprise that this year’s Burger Cup top seeds Slow Boat, Q Mex, Home Plate BBQ and Slider Nation have easily sailed on through to the next round. Other previous Burger Cup winners Side Street and blue frog also made it through without breaking a sweat.
Of the 22 restaurants participating in our Juicy Burger Month, 17 have now made it through to the Round of 32. So pour one out for our fallen comrades: BURGERMOOD, Messy Burger, Ye Brewing, CAUTION and Wobbit, but don’t forget you can still show your support by visiting them -- and the other remaining 17 -- during Juicy Burger Month!
It’s always a tough competition for new burger places, and we were especially sad to see Apollo knocked out, but other first-time bracketeers COMMUNE•X, Malbec & Beef, Brotzeit, Wild Kite Brewing, Take A Bite TAB and Burp have all survived to see another day.
The lowest remaining seed in the competition is ANGEL BURGER who came in as 13th seed in Bracket B but managed to win a surprise victory over 4th seed Ye Brewing. Could this be a surprise underdog story?
Here are the full results of the Round of 64 (the number in parentheses indicates their initial seeding. "New" indicates a new venue this year; and an asterisk (*) indicates a participant in Juicy Burger Month).
