Hard Rock Cafe will kick off its annual World Burger Tour competition in celebration of Hard Rock International’s birthday. Hard Rock Cafe chefs from around the world were challenged to develop unique burger creations that showcase elements from their regional cultures and personal taste.
These innovative recipes will be available exclusively for guests to try, including The Dirty Dipper at Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh from June 14 through August 5.
For example, guests at Hard Rock Cafe Rome can choose the Lasagna Burger with Ragu Bolognese and bechamel, those visiting Atlantic City can try the Jersey Shore Burger that features a house-made blueberry maple aioli and provolone.
The Dirty Dipper developed by Paige Mowbray and Keri Fairfield at Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh, featurestwo juicy and stacked patties, warm queso sauce for dipping, and crispy onions and bacon to top it off.
This year’s competition marks an exciting first for Hard Rock, with the addition of chef, content creatorand brand partner Olivia Tiedemann as both a mentor and judge.
She has worked closely with participating chefs throughout the competition, sharing her culinary expertise and burger-crafting techniques to help elevate each recipe.
“Working with these talented chefs from around the world has been incredibly fun. Each one brought such passion and creativity to their recipes, and I’m amazed by how they’ve transformed classic burger concepts with their unique local influences and personal stories,” said Olivia Tiedemann.
Based on Tiedemann’s input and sales performance, the top five burger recipes will be selected and announced later this summer.
Then the five finalists will become available at Hard Rock Cafe locations globally for all fans to experience for a limited time before one final winner is selected.
“This is such a fun annual event where our team gets to flex their creativity, and our guests get to try our new burger for a limited time,” said Nick Chiverton, General Manager for Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh.
The first Hard Rock Cafe at Old Park Lane in London opened on June 14, 1971. Launching this competition on their birthday, celebrates how the brand has evolved over 54 years into an iconic entertainment, hospitality and lifestyle company with more than 300 Hard Rock Cafes and Rock Shops, Hotels, Resorts and Casinos worldwide.
