Also during National Burger Month in May, Smokey Bones will feature three unique limited-time signature burgers. They include the Chicken Parmesan Burger, created with crisp herb-marinated chicken, the Beef and Bacon Burger made with half beef and half smoked applewood bacon, and the San Jose Burger, a fire-grilled burger topped with fresh guacamole and other cool California style ingredients. And throughout the month of June, for any limited time burger ordered, Smokey Bones will contribute $1 to the charities of the two competing teams in each market.
Roger Drake, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill, is excited about the upcoming Burger Battle. "It's a win-win event," said Drake.
