Tomorrow night a few of my buddies and I are headed out to indulge in one of our favorite foods… BURGERS! Since summer is starting, that means it is time to break out the grill, because it’s burger season! Luckily for us, HardRock Cafe is just as excited. To celebrate the start of burger season, HardRock Cafe locations in North America are showcasing international Local Legendary™ Burgers with their menu!
For a limited-time, through Thursday, June 30, 2016, you can order off HardRock’s World Burger Tour menu, where the most adventurous burger enthusiasts can sample offerings from London, Athens, Buenos Aires Seattle, and more!
Backstage Burger Pass
HardRock gives chefs at their cafes the freedom to create a unique Local Legendary Burger that captures the flavors of their city. This year, over 160 local burgers were evaluated by HardRock’s culinary team! They then selected fan favorites to headline the World Burger Tour menu. Though menu selections may vary at HardRock Cafe locations, here are a few examples of the Tour offerings:
English Breakfast Burger (London, England) – a Certified Angus Beef® patty topped with sliced ham, a sausage patty, a fried egg, a portobello mushroom, arugula and garlic aioli and served with a side of baked beans
Java Lava Burger (Seattle, United States) – a Certified Angus Beef patty grilled and dressed in a house-made espresso rub and topped with lava sauce, crunchy java onions, bacon, melted Cheddar cheese and garnished with a fried jalapeño
Tandoori Chicken Burger (Mumbai, India) – a dark meat chicken patty seasoned with aromatic spices and fresh herbs, topped with mint mayonnaise and served with a side of cucumber
Jamaican Jerk Burger (Montego Bay, Jamaica) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with banana pepper rings, mango jalapeño cream cheese and jerk mayonnaise
ATOMIC! Burger (Las Vegas, United States) – a Certified Angus Beef patty topped with Atomic beer-battered peppers, pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, garlic chipotle ketchup and chipotle mayonnaise

Burgers aren’t the only amazing items that HardRock is offering up! They have created a line of cocktails that perfectly complement World Burger Tour selections. Served in Hard Rock’s iconic mason jars, adult guests can order with the suggested pairing or mix it up with any other burger from the limited-time menu. New cocktails include:
- All Jacked Up – created to balance the Jamaican Jerk Burger’s spicy flair, this cocktail features a mix of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, PJ, Orgeat and lime juice, garnished with orange and pineapple wedges and a cherry
- Crisp Sipper – inspired by the Aloha Burger’s sweet and savory taste, this cocktail features a mix of Hendrick’s gin, Monin Cucumber, lemon, orange and raspberry, topped with tonic and garnished with rosemary and thyme
- MelonPalooza – designed to complement the fresh flavors of the Greek Burger, this cocktail features a mix of Midori Melon Liqueur, Malibu Rum, Hard Rock’s house-made sour mix and PJ, garnished with slices of pineapple and strawberry
- Sweet & Fiery – inspired by the ATOMIC! Burger’s spicy flavor, this cocktail features a mix of Absolut Peppar Vodka, Canton Ginger Liquor, Blue Curacao, lemonade and ginger beer, garnished with a red pepper
- Black Cherry Melonade (non-alcoholic) – created to complement the rich espresso of the Java Lava Burger, this mocktail features a mix of Black Cherry Real and Monin Cucumber, topped with ginger beer, garnished with a cucumber slice and a cherry
YUM! I think I’m definitely going to try the Sweet & Fiery! I always enjoy a little bit of spice, even in my cocktails.
