GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.,
Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- All
Hallows' Eve is a time for candy, ghost stories, costumes — and
vampires! Avoiding the living dead can be a real pain in the neck
so this Halloween, Red Robin Gourmet
Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin) is launching "Vampire Fighters Fries."
The New! Garlic Herbed Fries feature a key ingredient
to help ward off the damned – garlic! Additionally, guests dining
at participating restaurant locations nationwide on Oct. 31 will receive a special treat and
discount on their bill.
Vampires Suck!
This Halloween, the Gourmet Burger
Authority expects the number of vampire sightings to spike and is
raising awareness on the serious threat they pose to humans.
The experts at Red Robin have compiled a number of tips for guests
to stay safe and fend off creatures of the night, including:
- Vampire fighters-in-training should carry around a wooden stake
in their pocket which can easily defeat vampires
- In case of an attack, always carry a silver necklace or chain,
because it burns vampires' skin and slows down their healing
process
- Remember that direct sunlight will cause vampires to burst into
flames
- Given that garlic is one of the easiest methods to keep
the bloodsuckers at bay, Red Robin is offering Garlic Herbed Fries
that can be found at locations across the country
Official "Vampire Fighters Fries"
Guests who order the
"Vampire Fighters Fries" will save themselves from being turned.
The New! Garlic Herbed Fries are vampire-repellent
and feature Red Robin's signature Bottomless Steak
Fries® tossed in garlic herb seasoning and topped
with shredded Parmesan and parsley.
Need More Incentive to Bite?
The Gourmet Burger Authority will offer guests a special
$3 off treat when they upgrade to
Garlic Herbed Fries, a "monster" burger or "monster" milkshake on
Halloween*.
"All tricks aside, we take vampires very seriously at Red Robin
— so seriously, that we are launching our new Garlic Herbed Fries
to help keep our guests safe this Halloween," said Denny
Marie Post, Red Robin's senior vice president and chief
marketing officer. "The spookiest night of the year is right around
the corner, and no doubt our guests will be craving the 'Vampire
Fighters Fries' to scare off pesky vamps. Be sure to fuel up on
garlic before the sun goes down!"
Vampires exist in many shapes and forms, so don't be
fooled! Basic tell-tale signs to keep in mind for identifying
these nightwalkers include: extremely pale skin tones and colder to
the touch than Red Robin's monster milkshakes; they cannot be
photographed, so guests won't catch a vampire taking a selfie for
Red Robin's Instagram page; and sharp fangs designed for drinking
blood, not for eating one of Red Robin's more than two dozen
craveable, high-quality gourmet burgers!
