The Florida-based fast casual chain BurgerFi hs just launched its first limited time offering 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.
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."
