As a renowned chef and restaurateur, Chef Laurent Tourondel brought his high-level
expertise and culinary experience to his winning 2013 SOBEWFF
creation, the Smashed Smoke burger. Inspired by Chef
Tourondel's award-winning creation, the new Smoke & Pepper
burger features a half-pound Black Angus burger seasoned with
Alderwood smoked sea salt and topped with freshly black-peppered
bacon, extra sharp Cheddar and house-made Smoke & Pepper
ketchup, served on a buttered and toasted ciabatta bun. The Smoke
& Pepper burger with Red Robin's famous Bottomless Steak
Fries™ is available for a limited-time for $13.49.
"As a chef and owner of many wonderful restaurants around the
world, I am constantly coming up with savory combinations to create
an exceptional taste experience," said Chef Laurent Tourondel. "This new burger at Red Robin
is an upscale take on a classic bacon cheeseburger. The
sweet, smoky and peppery flavors of the sauce blend perfectly with
the high quality seasoned beef and bite of peppery bacon on this
burger. I am pleased to see their version of my award-winning
recipe available in almost 500 locations!"
"Red Robin's new Smoke & Pepper burger is an exciting next
step in our long tradition of serving the best in burgers,"
said Denny Marie Post, Red Robin's
senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "As America's
Gourmet Burger Authority, we are excited about expanding our
gourmet burger offerings with the Smoke & Pepper Burger,
inspired by Chef Laurent Tourondel
and we look forward to more great winners to come."
