The_Beijinger_Burger_Cup

theBeijinger knows just how much we Beijingers all love burgers.

Now it’s find to find the King of Beijing’s burgers by pitting off various restaurants in Beijing from the famous Blue Frog, Lush in WuDaoKou, Fatburger, Let’s Burger, fast food joints like Burger King and Hollywood to fine dining restaurants like One East (Hilton) and Maison Boulud.

Sadly, I am ashamed to admit that there are even a few restaurants listed I have not yet tested out!  I will make a conscious effort to change this and try out Burgers & Beer in Shunyi, Lush and La Bamba in WuDaoKou and Lily’s American Diner in Shuangjing.

First Round Burger Match-Ups:

The Box Vs. Grandma’s Kitchen
1F Vs. La Bamba
Scarlett Vs. Hard Rock Cafe
The Den Vs. Luga’s Villa
Blue Frog Vs. One East
Paul’s Steak and Eggs Vs. Let’s Burger
Lush Vs’ Maison Boulud
Home Plate Bar-b-que Vs. Flamme
Peter’s Tex-Mex Vs. Village Cafe
Eudora Station Vs. Chef Too
Union Bar & Grille Vs. Burger King
Kiosk Vs. Rumi
Fatburger Vs. Hollywood
Paddy O’Shea’s Vs. Burgers & Beer
Lily’s Vs. Vineyard Cafe
Stumble Inn Vs. American Cafe

So there you have it Beijingers – now it’s up to you as a burger fan, make your voice heard by voting on theBeijinger’s website link here: The Beijinger Burger Cup: Voting to Decide Beijing’s Best Burger.

Voting closes on Thursday, August 11.

With the scorching hot weather and smoggy air quality combined with the abundance of parties and events around town, I can imagine it’s difficult to stay in shape this summer!

Fear not, the World Health Store‘s annual 12-week challenge is just about to begin and it’s not too late to sign up! Contestants will be part of a very select group for FREE training, including BOOT CAMP, HEYROBICS, and PILATES. (just think what a great deal this is considering how expensive these classes can be!)

Anticipated to be even bigger than last year, the challenge will take place in both Beijing and Shanghai and winners can expect to see even more cash prizes and gifts totaling over RMB 250,000!

If you are someone who wants to have a life changing experience and a chance to win some awesome cash and prizes, check out www.whs-12weekchallenge.com for registration details and you can also register on the night of the launch party this Saturday night at Zeta Bar (Hilton Hotel).  Lucky winners have a chance to win cool prizes including a dinner voucher from Hercules, Tailer Made Shirts from the Bauer Company, and a Free Haircut/Style at TICTAC Salon just to name a few.
