Voting in the 2019 Beijing Burger Cup Now Open!
advertisement
Burgers are big business in Beijing, and the time has come once again to say which should claim the burger spoils. How? By using your greasy little fingers to cast your all-important votes, of course!
This year, we've done things a little differently, launching the poll at the outset of this year's Route 66-themed Beijing Burger Festival (which runs until 8pm tomorrow!). Once you get your fill (or not, we won't judge), an even more important duty awaits: voting for your favorites.
This marks our ninth Burger Cup throwdown, and it’s up to you to help determine which burger brand claims the ultimate bragging rights. This year, our tourney once again sees a tumultuous change in brackets.

For one, 12 of the Top 100 have ceased to be since last year's Burger Cup, including Common Burger @ ARCADE by Hatchery (last year's #12), Stuff’d (#22), Ramo (#28), Tim's Texas Bar-B-Q (#43), and most recently, Frost (#81).
But while the dead shall be fondly remembered, there are also 31 new burgers on this year's ballot to stuff our faces with (read more on those hopefuls here).

With these newbies in mind, it's your mission to get out there and vote, and it couldn't be easier: We serve you with a ballot split into four brackets (see below for the full divisions), and you order up which burgers advance through the rounds until only one sandwich stands. For an in-depth look at how exactly we count the votes and tackle ballot stuffing (the shame!), click here.
