It’s savory, sweet, and spicy all in one!

The must try has to be The K.O., which sees double Angus beef smash patties topped with red and white cheddar cheese, IPA caramelized onions and a signature K.O. sauce.
For vegans, their Hutong Hipster is one of the best veggie burgers in Beijing, made from a spicy spinach and potato combination layered with red onion, tomato, lettuce, tamarind sauce, and mint sauce.

Go to Slider Nation's booth for The OG Sliders (available as spicy or regular), made from 50g of Wagyu beef smashed with thinly sliced Vidalia onions then topped with American cheese, crisp pickles and their signature “crack sauce”, all sandwiched between their specially steamed Hawaiian style buns served up with their coveted Duck Fat Fries.
But the duck fat doesn't stop there. Burger Fest will see the debut of Slider Nation's new Duck Fat Fried Chicken Nuggets, served with their own honey BBQ sauce, and brand new Chips & Fire Roasted Salsa, made in-house with crispy duck fat fried corn tortilla chips.
For drinks, there's the burger joint's infamous cocktails, including the Bloody Mary, made with their own chili infused vodka and homemade tomato spice blend; Gin & Tonic, infused with fresh thyme and Meyer lemon rinds; Jack and Coke Slushie and Aperol Spritz Slushie.
DOSH 到时精酿餐吧
DOSH is bringing two burgers to Burger Fest, the Stout and Smoked Cheese Burger and the Parma Ham Burger, the latter of which is highly recommended by the restaurant. For this concoction, the smoky, salty, Parma ham is layered atop a wet-aged beef patty. Then comes the melted cheese and a special handcrafted sauce. Finally, a fluffy brioche bun brings it all together for a loving embrace.

Benlo Burger pride themselves on blending traditional Chinese cooking techniques with Western burger culture to deliver a unique taste experience. You can taste it for yourself with their Benlo Smash Burger, Double Smash Burger, Benlo Chicken and Beef Smash Burger, Double Majiang Smash Chicken Sandwich and Benlo Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
The latter is the one to try and it features fresh chicken thigh which is prepared through a traditional Chinese technique of stewing the meat first. It’s then covered in a delicate batter and fried until perfectly crispy on the outside but still juicy on the inside.

Chang'an 28 specializes in American-style dry-aged steaks cooked by a team of renowned chefs. What's more, all their burgers are strictly American prime beef and dry-aged for at least 28 days.
