Hard Rock Cafe announces the launch of the pilot program for the brand-new Messi Burger, the latest innovation in Hard Rock International’s “LIVE GREATNESS” campaign in partnership with Lionel Messi. Starting today, the burger will be exclusively available at the Hard Rock Cafe Miami, FL and Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood, FL before its global release on March 1.
A tribute to the soccer sensation’s ideal burger components, the Messi Burger consists of ten flavorful ingredients for a game-changing take on Hard Rock’s Legendary Steak Burger. The Messi Burger kicks off with a juicy double stack of the finest ground beef patties, seasoned, and seared to perfection. Tastebuds score big with the burger’s winning combination of toppings: provolone cheese, sliced chorizo, caramelized red onion, and Hard Rock’s signature, spicy, smoky sauce served on a toasted brioche bun with shredded romaine lettuce and vine-ripened tomato. The burger will be offered to guests for $11.95 and can be topped with a fried egg for an additional $2.00 and served with a side of seasoned fries for $3.95.
“It is an honor to take our partnership with world-renowned soccer star, Lionel Messi, and the LIVE GREATNESS campaign to the next level with his very own take on Hard Rock Cafe’s Legendary Steak Burger,” said Jon Lucas, COO of Hard Rock International. “We are excited to launch the Messi Burger as a pilot program in Florida, right in Hard Rock’s own backyard, as we prepare for the global launch in March.”
