Chili's recently added two new craft burgers to its menu that are made from grass-fed beef. With a growing number of consumers looking for more natural ingredients, these burgers give consumers a hormone-free alternative.
The new craft burgers on the Chili's menu include the Sunrise Burger and the Ultimate Bacon Burger. The former features a cage-free egg, applewood-smoked bacon, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and Chili's signature sauce. The latter features a double serving of applewood-smoked bacon, jalapeno aioli, aged cheddar cheese, pickles, Buffalo sauce, tomato, red onion and honey-chipotle sauce. Both burgers feature all-beef patties made from meat that is free from antibiotics and added hormones.
The new burgers cater to a growing number of health-conscious consumers who "want to know what's going into their food."
