GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.,
Feb. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Red Robin Gourmet Burger & Brews (Red Robin) crowned a
new Best of the Bash Award champion at the Heineken Light Burger
Bash presented by Schweid & Sons hosted by Guy Fieri. Burger master Jorgie Ramos' Latin Burger took home top
honors in Red Robin's annual competition at the prestigious Food
Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival
event. As part of the prize package, Ramos was presented with a
check for $10,000 and the chance for
his award-winning creation to appear on Red Robin's menu in the
future.
"From the first bite of the Latin Burger we knew we had
something special in our hands," said Dana
Benfield, senior vice president and chief marketing officer
at Red Robin. "Every burger we tasted here at the Burger Bash was
packed with incredible flavor, but the Latin Burger is truly a Red
Robin-worthy build that our guests would love to see on the
menu."
All chefs participating in the Heineken Light Burger Bash were
invited to enter their burgers into Red Robin's Best of the Bash
Award competition. Entrants were judged by a distinguished panel of
judges including celebrity chef Amanda
Freitag, past Best of the Bash Award winner Michell Sanchez and members of Red Robin's
executive team.
"With so many delicious burgers in front of us, it was tough to
narrow it down to one winner," said Amanda
Freitag. "At the end of the day, it was the mouth-watering
combination of Cantimpalo chorizo, sweet plantain marmalade,
manchego cheese and chimi aioli on the Latin Burger that we felt
was most deserving of Red Robin's Best of the Bash Award."
In addition to the Best of the Bash, Red Robin showcased its
commitment to a burgers and brews culture by serving the winning
burger from its Golden Robin Awards, which features burgers created
by talented Florida International
University students, at the Heineken Light Burger Bash.
Angelic Cox, the recipient of this
year's honor, was on hand to treat attendees to her Jerk Man Burger
featuring an enticing combination of sweet and spicy Caribbean flavors. The juicy, all-beef patty
is flavored with Jamaican seasonings, a dollop of Jerk BBQ sauce
and is topped with fresh mango salsa and Muenster cheese to deliver
the taste of the islands in every bite.
