Food Fail: Red Robin French Onion Ringer Burger
“Swiss cheese, crispy onion straws, French Onion spread and tomatoes on a melted Provolone-capped onion bun, topped off with three golden-fried onion rings.”
Why did it take so long for Red Robin to come up with its limited-time French Onion Ringer Burger? After all, the onion rings, onion straws, and cheeses were there in the kitchen anyway. And it wasn’t a big stretch to think of piling them on the fluffy white-flour buns.
Speaking of piling on, 1,180 calories, 22 grams of saturated fat, and 1,640 milligrams of sodium is quite impressive. It’s like two Big Macs in one!
But why stop there? The burger comes with Bottomless Steak Fries as a free side. So you can add 350 calories’ worth of starch-plus-oil to your 1,530-calorie burger-plus-fries again and again. What fun!
To its credit, Red Robin also offers bottomless broccoli or salad as a side. But—just a wild guess—odds are, they’re not as big a draw with the burger crowd.
Come to think of it, it’s hard to imagine a better draw for Americans these days than bottomless fries...unless it’s also bottomless drinks!
So if the Bottomless Root Beer Float or Poppin’ Purple Lemonade doesn’t sound like it would quench your bottomless thirst, you can order a Bottomless Cream Soda mixed with Sprite and topped with whipped cream.
“So keep chugging,” says Red Robin. “We’re stocked and ready.”
And we’re speechless.
