Red Robin is totally in on the Christmas spirit of giving. As a gimmick and gift to their patrons, the restaurant chain gave away free burgers to people who are fortunate enough to have Christmas-y names. Anyone named Christopher, Christine, Nicole, and Nicholas are all in on the giveaway which happened on Thursday, Fox 9 reported. The gift-giving was effective for only one day.
Additionally, the burger chain was crowdsourcing from its hungry customers nationwide who have these Christmas-y names to name the burger. #NameThatChicken burger was its label. Not very interesting, but the spirit of giving is strong in this one.
As for the sandwich itself, it is a fire-grilled chicken breast with arugula, fontina cheese, peppered bacon, and oven-roasted tomato aioli on an artisan telera bun. Sounds good? Yes, it certainly does.
All guests needed to do was to present a valid ID to verify that, indeed, they were born with a name that was meant to get a free burger from Red Robin. All derivatives of the names Christopher, Christine, Nicole, and Nicholas were accepted in participating outlets.
The company website details what Red Robin had in mind when they rolled out their #NameThatChicken burger. The statement says:
"The holiday season is a time for having fun, and we're always looking for new ways to surprise our guests," said Denny Marie Post, Red Robin's executive vice president and chief concept officer. "Our new #NameThatChicken Burger has received so many creative name submissions and guests who have tried it, LOVE it. So, we were inspired to share in the name game fun by treating some of our guests to a free chance to try this delicious new item in our Finest Burger line-up."
The #NameThatChicken contest was first launched on October 27 and called on people to help name the newest Finest Chicken Burger for a chance to win free burgers for an entire year-for two!
