Burger Brief: Gorge on Beijing’s Biggest Burger at VSports

Burger Brief takes a look at some of the attendees of the Beijinger's 2017 Burger Cup. With voting for the burger cup in progress, we talked to the VSports’ head of PR, Rachel Liu about their burger, which has made it into the Round of 32 (vote here).

Located in the heart of the Workers' Stadium, right next to Vics nightclub, VSports doesn't mess around when it comes to sports. Not only is it known for being one of the city's biggest sports bars, boasting over 20 large screen TVs to broadcast sports throughout the day, but it also has a pool table, dart machines, fussball, and basketball machines, guaranteeing a fun time out with your friends even if you don't particularly like the pastime that is "watching the game." It's final claim to fame is the fact that it serves up Beijing’s biggest burger, weighing in at a whopping 1.5kg. 

Could you tell us about your signature burger, what makes it the best in Beijing?
Our signature burger is the Hell Burger, which is also the Beijing’s biggest burger, weighing in at 1.5kg. The burger is made of double beef patties, bacon, egg, and the usual salad garnishings. The aim for the Hell Burger is to be shared (although you are more than welcome to come try it by yourself), as it can be cut into 6-8 parts, and is suitable for a group. We all know sharing is caring.

Where does the inspiration for the Hell Burger come from?
When we planned to create VSports as an American-style restaurant, burgers of course came up first as a typical American food. American food is also famous for its big portions, which is why we decided to make an XXL size burger.

What drink from your menu goes best with the burger?
VSports’ craft beers. There are six kinds of them: IPA, wheat, lager, stouts, grapefruit ale, and ginger ale.

What other burgers do you have on the menu?
We have regular-sized burgers as well: the classic burger, the Mexican burger, and the chicken burger – all of them popular with our guests. We also have a seasonal menu with new burgers, such as the prawn and avocado burger we served in April. If you want to keep up to date on the seasonal menu changes, you can follow us on WeChat (ID: VSports_Bar).

The Beijinger 2017 Burger Cup is sponsored by Bon App, Job-in, and Left Hand App. Vote here to push VSports (and your other favorite burgers) through to the next round.
