HOLLYWOOD, Fla., April 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hard Rock International beefed up for the 2019 Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale Burger Battle™ X, winning the Fan Favorite award for its new, signature steakburger. The Fan Favorite award is decided by the nearly 1,200 guests in attendance who used their Burger Battle Chip to vote Hard Rock Cafe's new steakburger the best burger at the competition, beating out 15 South Florida restaurants for the award. This award for Hard Rock's new steakburger comes on the heels of being recognized as "Best Burger" in the 2019 Porthole Cruise Editor-in-Chief Awards, as well as "Ultimate Winner/Best in Miami" at the 2018 Miami New Times Burgerfest.

Hard Rock Cafe's signature steakburgers are made from a proprietary blend of 100 percent Certified Angus Beef®, seared on flat top griddles to lock in the flavor and served between a freshly made bakers bun with a variety of fresh, quality accompaniments to create the perfect taste sensation. Just like the strings of a guitar must be perfectly tuned to play a great melody, every detail matters for Hard Rock's new steakburger – and fans can clearly taste the difference.

"Winning the Fan Favorite award for our new steakburger is a true honor for Hard Rock," said Stephen K. Judge, President of Cafe Operations for Hard Rock International. "Hard Rock wouldn't exist without support from our loyal fans around the world, and we are thrilled that our local fanbase is celebrating our latest menu creation with us."

As Hard Rock furthers its commitment to elevating the dining experience for guests, the fresh, premium steakburger is the new standard for Hard Rock's burger offerings, including the world-famous Original Legendary® Burger. This award-winning burger offering officially launches on menus around the world in June along with new shareables, sliders and Instagram-worthy milkshakes. Guests looking to get a VIP experience and taste the steakburger ahead of its grand debut can visit Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood and Hard Rock Cafe Atlantic City – the first two locations to feature the new steakburgers.
