Hard Rock International is announcing its most extensive menu innovation in the company’s history with more than 20 new offerings debuting in locations around the world on Friday, June 14, 2019.
The legendary restaurant’s new menu puts the spotlight on its lineup of all-new, award-winning Steak Burgers, headlined by the world’s first edible 24-Karat Gold Leaf Steak Burger™ that will benefit Action Against Hunger. Steak Burgers aren’t the only items making their debut on Hard Rock’s new menu, which also includes Instagram-worthy Boozy Milkshakes and Sliders and Shareables that encourage adventure and exploration, allowing fans to curate their most flavorful playlist.
The global launch of the new menu coincides with Hard Rock’s Founders’ Day as a tribute to the original legends who opened the doors to the first Hard Rock Cafe at Old Park Lane in London on June 14, 1971 with a mission to serve the best burgers and milkshakes around the world.
The star of the show, Hard Rock Cafe’s new and award-winning Steak Burgers, are created with a proprietary blend of fresh, 100 percent Certified Angus Beef® to produce the most flavorful burger possible. Just like the strings of a guitar must be perfectly tuned to play a great melody, every detail matters when building the best burger. From premium accompaniments like freshly baked, toasted buns to signature sauces and produce at its prime, Hard Rock Cafe’s new Steak Burgers let everyone eat like a legend. The delicious lineup includes:
