Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc RRGB

Guests get a free glass of 'Scorpion Antidote' to combat the sting for a limited time

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (NASDAQ: RRGB) has introduced a hot new lineup of menu items featuring this year's hottest food trend – spicy and swicy (sweet and spicy) – including a new gourmet burger with waves of heat, three new wing sauces, plus hand-crafted premium cocktails and shareable desserts!

With multiple layers of heat, meet the newest addition to Red Robin's gourmet burger lineup: the Jalapeño Heatwave. This spicy delight presents a slow burn that builds with each bite, featuring grilled jalapeño, pepper-jack cheese, caramelized onion, green chili aioli and freshly smashed avocado with red pepper flakes, topped with crispy fried jalapeño coins for a satisfying crunch. The Jalapeño Heatwave joins Red Robin's more than 20 gourmet burger lineup and is served with a choice of Bottomless side, from Red Robin's signature Steak Fries, to coleslaw, broccoli, side salads and more.

Inspired by its spiciest gourmet burger, the Scorpion Burger, Red Robin has unleashed the intense flavor of its ultra-spicy Scorpion sauce onto wings, crafting its most scorching wing on the menu yet! Crisp and made to order, get ready to experience an explosion of flavor and heat with either the bold, immediate heat of the wet Scorpion sauce or smothered in a sweet-and-spicy Scorpion dry rub that will leave your lips sting-ling!

Guests looking for wings with a little less heat but just as much flavor can enjoy Red Robin's new Garlic Parmesan or Sea Salt & Pepper wings. All Red Robin wings are served on a bed of Yukon Chips and with a side of dipping sauce.

To celebrate its spicy new menu, guests can enjoy a complimentary glass of 'Scorpion Antidote' (AKA: 1% milk) to tame the tastebud flames. For a limited time, simply order the new Scorpion wings (wet or dry), Jalapeño Heatwave Burger or Scorpion Burger, and when the spice is just too much to handle, ask your server for a glass of 'Scorpion Antidote'*!

"Red Robin is known for its innovative culinary creations and ability to put a unique twist on classics like burgers and wings, and we did just that with our latest menu items," said Red Robin's Executive Chef and VP of Culinary & Beverage Innovation Brian Sullivan. "This menu explores spice in many different forms. There's bold, upfront spice that will make your lips burn with our new Scorpion wings, there's dimensional, multi-layered heat with grilled and fried jalapeños and cooling freshly smashed avocado with red pepper flakes in the Jalapeño Heatwave Burger, and there's a warm spice of cinnamon-spiced citrus in our Sangria Roja. There's really something for everyone to enjoy!"

Red Robin's new menu also offers a variety of hand-crafted libations** and shareable desserts, including:

• Shortbread Chocolate Soufflé Cake – Made with one of the finest chocolates in the world, Callebaut chocolate, this half rich, buttery shortbread cookie and half chocolate soufflé cake, is two desserts in one! Topped with ice cream, hot fudge and whipped cream and dusted with powdered sugar.
