The Florida-based fast casual chain [BurgerFi hs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prime-rib-burger) just launched its first [limited time offering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobbys-burgers-limited-time-menu) of 2023: the BBQ Rodeo Burger.

Available now through April 17, 2023, the BBQ Rodeo Burger is a flavorful creation that consists of an all-natural Angus beef seared with charred jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, and crispy onions, all topped off with [Memphis sweet BBQ sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-bangin-burger).

The new burger creation is timed to coincide with BurgerFi's participation in the 2023 Burger Bash hosted by Emeril Lagasse at the annual South Beach Wine & Food Festival. As BurgerFi's CMO CMO Cindy Syracuse said in a press release: "We're ready to not only launch the best-tasting burger at the highest profile burger event there is, but also show guests how BurgerFi continually takes the classic burger to the next level."

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Limited Time Offerings:** Fast-casual chains can capitalize on consumer demand for novelty by offering limited-time, seasonal specials.
- **Regional Cuisine:** Brands can stand out from competitors by creating menu items that highlight regional and cultural flavors, such as Tennessee-style BBQ.
- **Celebrity Collaborations:** Partnering with well-known chefs or culinary personalities can generate buzz and raise brand awareness, as seen with BurgerFi's participation in the South Beach Wine & Food Festival hosted by Emeril Lagasse.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fast-casual Restaurants:** Fast-casual chains can differentiate themselves by introducing new and unique menu offerings that keep customers engaged and excited.
- **Food and Beverage Events:** Participating in food and beverage festivals can provide a platform for brands to showcase their creativity and build hype around their products.
- **Celebrity Chef Branding:** Collaborating with well-known chefs or culinary personalities can drive interest in a brand and attract new customers.
