Tequila-Doused and Stacked, Q Mex Fight to Win Back Their Burger Cup Crown

There's still time for you, your buddies, and your expanding belly to grab advance tickets to this weekend's Beijing Burger Fest at Galaxy Soho, 11am-8pm, or simply drop by and nab RMB 25 tickets on the door.

If you hadn't noticed, our Burger Cup gets rather heated. Brows sweat, tempers fray, and we all, just a little bit, start to look like a burger (or at least our brains do). One competitor who never seems to lose their cool, however, is Q Mex. Endowed with one of the best burgers in town, as well as some of the most ardent fans, Q Mex play it off every year like it all comes so naturally.

Now boasting three venues around town, the team are better equipped than ever to win hearts and minds and win back their 2017 crown with their Mexican-inflected burgers. That title was taken from them by the equally as deserving Slow Boat burger, and it's very likely that these two will face off again at some point during the voting this year.

So what do Q Mex have in store for us at the 2019 Beijing Burger Festival? Well, there's their top-selling Classic and Double Burgers, as well as their new Spicy Double Chorizo Burger (deep-fried, tequila-doused jalapeños anyone?), and if choosing proves too much, simply cough up RMB 65 and you'll get any two. Add an additional RMB 15 for an ice-cold Stone Ale or Stone Tropic of Thunder and you're set. They'll also have their margaritas and bulldogs to keep the party going.

For the benefit of the more visually-oriented among us, let's take a closer look at all that good stuff...
