Burger Brief: Eudora's Signature Burger Has Still Got It

Burger Brief takes a look at some of the attendees of the Beijinger's 2017 Burger Cup. In this edition we visited Eudora, whose venue is sadly no longer in contention for the honor of Beijing's Best Burger (vote in Round of 32 here) but who still has a fine burger.

Beijing veteran Eudora Station has been slinging burgers for a while now, and our last visit proved that its signature burger, the Canadian grilled beef sirloin burger (RMB 123 without cheese or RMB 128 with), has still got it.

Eudora Station is situated across from Lido Place on West Fangyuan Street. Being one of Beijing’s first foreigner-friendly locations, it has stood the test of time and continue to persevere in the city’s constantly changing F&B industry. The establishment occupies a large space, equipped with a stage and music lounge, bar, a pool table, and a semi-outdoor seating area that is properly shaded and air conditioned, which is absolutely fitting for this week’s scorching weather.

We arrived during lunch time and noticed that flocks of office workers were taking up most of the patio. We quickly placed our order for their signature burger with cheese (obviously), and waited. The burger came on a large wooden board with a side of fries and salad. It was truly humongous. 

Their signature burger looked simple, but was large and packed with flavor. The buns was perfectly toasted, the vegetables fresh, the pickle had the right amount of tang to stick out, and the cheddar cheese was sharp and structurally strong, gluing all the components together. However, the star of the dish was of course, the patty itself. The burger's beef sirloin patty was grilled just right, with a pink center and a slightly charred outer edge, creating the perfect balance of tender and crisp. All of these components had a light stroke of grade-A mayo, making it even more decadent.

Their fries were extra crispy and their side salad was light, each making the perfect companion to the massive burger. For an additional RMB 15, you can add fried egg or bacon on top, however, in our opinion, this signature burger doesn’t need any extra additions given how it comes stacked anyway. 

After our meal, we had time to sit down with Susan He, the head of marketing and sales of Eudora. We asked her a few questions about their signature Canadian grilled beef sirloin burger.

Tell us about your signature burger. What does the burger come with?
Our signature burger patties are sirloin hand-cut patties that are made to order. It is one whole piece of Canadian beef sirloin diced into 0.5cm crumbs. To that we also add a little fat for flavor, and make them into patties daily. Every patty is guaranteed to be fresh. The burger also contains cheese, sliced tomatoes, onions, and pickles as well as fries.

You’re participating in the Burger Cup again this year; what will be different from the last Cup?
Compared with the last Burger Cup, this time we serve a largger variety of drinks, for example we added more craft beers and cocktails to the menu.
