A&W's new 'Ringer Burger' is a delicious fusion of onion rings and beefy goodness. Delectable grass-fed beef patties, smokey BBQ sauce, bacon, provolone cheese, fresh red onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickle are all added to the 'Ringer Burger' as toppings. There is also a two-patty version of the Ringer Burger called the Ringer Papa Burger.
“[...] We have been working on creating a smoky, spicy, sweet and lip smacking BBQ sauce for a couple years now. This partnership with the Blue Jays felt like the perfect moment to offer this dream burger. Paired with smoky BBQ sauce, bacon and provolone cheese, the Ringer burger is crowned with our signature onion rings for the ultimate crunch," said Karan Suri, A&W Canada’s Director of Menu Development.
On April 10, the day before the Toronto Blue Jays' home opener game against the Detroit Tigers, the Ringer Burger will go on sale at A&W locations across Canada.
