Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Launches The Next Gourmet Burger Kids Contest
To bring fun to family meal time, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc., (Red Robin), today announced “The Next Gourmet Burger Kids Contest,” which will kick off on September 26, 2006. The contest gives kids permission to play with their food to create the next gourmet burger that will be available in every Red Robin restaurant next summer. The winning burger and 49 other select creations will be featured in a kid’s cookbook to be sold nationwide next summer with proceeds benefiting the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
From September 26 through October 15, 2006, Red Robin is asking kids, ages 10 and under, to submit an original gourmet burger creation and a 100-word statement on why their burger deserves to be America’s next gourmet burger. Kids’ gourmet burger creations will be accepted at all Red Robin restaurants in the U.S. For contest rules and to find the nearest location, visit http://www.redrobin.com.
Twelve semi-finalists will be selected to compete in four regional competitions at Red Robin restaurants. From the top 12, four finalists will be invited to attend the annual Red Robin Leadership Summit in Miami, Fla., in January 2007 where the grand prize winner will be announced.
The grand prize winner’s gourmet burger will be featured in every Red Robin restaurant in the U.S. next summer. In addition, the winner will receive a family vacation for four to Universal Studios Hollywood, The Entertainment Capital of L.A.; a Red Robin iPod nano and a $100 Red Robin gift card. All three runner-ups also will receive a Red Robin iPod nano and a $100 gift card.
