How to Order a (Mouthwateringly Exquisite) Burger in Chinese

The 2019 Beijing Burger Festival is fast approaching, dudes. In less than two weeks, Galaxy Soho is going to be transformed into a gigantic party-zone in celebration of everything that is burgers, buns, and patties.
Buy your early bird tickets right now via this QR code and get some great burger swag:
As you know, the festival is immediately followed by our famous Burger Cup, in which you vote for your favorite buns in the whole city. If you're planning on taking the voting seriously (and why on Earth wouldn't you?) you'll be going around town trying out burgers from all of the contenders... and if you're really clever, practicing your Mandarin at the same time.
