"Each year the competition gets tougher and tougher and this
year's Golden Robin Contest was no different," said Dana Benfield, senior vice president and chief
marketing officer at Red Robin. "We applaud Angelic's efforts to
create a craveable burger recipe that is unique to the competition
and unlike anything we offer on the menu at Red Robin. We hope
Burger Bash® attendees enjoy eating her award-winning creation as
much as we do!"
The Jerk Man burger features an enticing combination of sweet
and spicy Caribbean flavors. The
burger starts with a juicy all-beef patty flavored with Jamaican
seasonings and a dollop of Jerk BBQ sauce. It is then topped with
fresh mango salsa and Munster cheese to encompass the taste of the
islands in every bite.
Additionally, Red Robin will present its Best of the Bash
Award for the sixth consecutive year. All chefs participating
in the Festival's beloved burger competition can enter their burger
for a chance to win $10,000 and be
featured on Red Robin's menu. Entries will be evaluated by an
expert panel of judges including renowned chef and Food Network
personality Amanda Freitag, previous
Best of the Bash Award winner Michell
Sanchez and Red Robin executives.
