With summer officially in full swing, Red Robin has debuted a limited-edition dish called the BBQ Boss Hog Burger. Not only does the new burger help consumers enjoy a classic BBQ dish without having to struggle over a hot grill, but it also gives them a chance to enjoy an extra serving of pork by grabbing a side of BBQ Pork Loaded Chips.

The new BBQ Boss Hog Burger is an ultra-spicy creation that combines BBQ pulled pork served over an ancho-marinated beef patty, dill pickles, cheddar cheese, red onions, lettuce, tortilla strips and smokey campfire mayo on a jalapeño-spiced cornmeal Kaiser bun. For true carnivores looking for some extra protein, the new burger can be enjoyed alongside the new BBQ Pork Loaded Chips, which consist of house-made Yukon kettle chips, topped with BBQ pulled pork, red onions, queso and a sprinkling of parsley.
