As a native New Yorker, the burger is something that I have grown up loving and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Little did I know that May is Burger Month, which makes me appreciate this delicacy even further and want to send everyone text messages that only contain the burger emoji! Hard Rock Cafe New York is taking this celebration and placing it on a worldly level for you to try over the next two months! Take a look.
Hard Rock’s World Burger Tour is back, and ready to take guests on an international adventure – no passport necessary! World Burger Tour, a limited-time offering of Hard Rock Local Legendary© Burgers, inspired by the taste and flavors from cafe locations around the world, hits tables at select participating Hard Rock Cafe locations around the world beginning May 1, 2017 and continues through June 25, 2017.
