It's All in the Name: Red Robin Gives Free #NameThatChicken Burger to Anyone Who Shares Name with Santa

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Dec. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- From Saint Nicholas to Kris Kringle, the character embodiment of the holiday season is a man of many monikers, much like Red Robin's #NameThatChicken Burger, which has received thousands of name submissions from guests nationwide as part of the #NameThatChicken contest. In honor of the (yet to be officially named) burger, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin) celebrates the season of giving and invites all guests who share a derivative of Santa's names - Christopher, Christine, Nicole and Nicholas - to enjoy a FREE #NameThatChicken Burger on Thursday, December 10 at participating Red Robin restaurants nationwide.

"The holiday season is a time for having fun, and we're always looking for new ways to surprise our guests," said Denny Marie Post, Red Robin's executive vice president and chief concept officer. "Our new #NameThatChicken Burger has received so many creative name submissions and guests who have tried it, LOVE it.  So, we were inspired to share in the name game fun by treating some of our guests to a free chance to try this delicious new item in our Finest Burger line-up."

The #NameThatChicken contest was kicked off on October 27 and calls on guests to help Red Robin name its new Finest Chicken Burger for a chance to win free burgers for a year for two.  The first chicken offering on Red Robin's Finest premium burger line is an all-natural seven ounce, fire-grilled chicken breast over arugula, covered with fontina cheese, peppered bacon and oven-roasted tomato aioli on an artisan telera bun.

Guests hungry for a free #NameThatChicken Burger will need to verify their "Santa status" with photo identification at the time of purchase. All derivatives of Christopher, Christine, Nicole and Nicholas will be accepted.
