GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Dec. 3, 2009 – Watch out Food Network stars, you've got some tough new competition! America's newest culinary kid genius has been crowned. Bonney Lake, Wash. resident, 9-year-old Emma Potts has created America's next gourmet burger – the "Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger." Potts' burger recipe was chosen by a panel of judges including Robin Miller, host of the Food Network "Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller." During the Red Robin Kids' Cook-Off Championship in Denver, Colo. today against nine other kid finalists, whose burger recipes were selected from more than 11,000 kids ages six to 12 across the U.S., Potts' "Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger" was selected as the Red Robin "Kids' Cook-Off" Grand-Prize Winner. As the grand-prize winner, Potts' "Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger," made with a burger patty topped with honey, ripe red tomato, mayonnaise, bacon, cayenne pepper, butter leaf lettuce and havarti cheese, will be sold in all U.S. Red Robin® restaurants in summer 2010 to benefit the child safety efforts of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC). Fifty-cents of every "Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger" sold will go to support NCMEC's child safety initiatives.

"It was a thrill to be part of the judging panel for the Red Robin 'Kids' Cook-Off' Championship and to celebrate and encourage kids' culinary creativity while also supporting child safety efforts," said Food Network host, Robin Miller. "Working for the Food Network has allowed me to try many creative ingredients, and the 'Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger' was every bit as delicious as the food I've tried from professional chefs."

In addition to Potts' "Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger," another burger recipe was also honored. Through a consumer-driven online voting process, more than 14,000 Americans voted for the inaugural Kids' Cook-Off "Fan Favorite." Ten-year-old, Daphney Thomas from Hillsboro, Ore., was named "Fan Favorite" for her "A Double Dilly of a Burger," which is made with two sirloin patties, provolone cheese, deep fried dill pickles, lettuce, mustard, and dill mayonnaise on an onion bun. Thomas received a special award of recognition and a $100 gift card to Toys "R" Us.

During the Kids' Cook-Off Championship, the top 10 finalists showed-off their culinary skills by making their gourmet burger recipes in a Food Network-style showdown and presenting them to Robin Miller as well as other VIP judges including Tom Giesen, executive producer of the Food Network's Unwrapped shows, Denver mommy-blogger Valentina Garcia, NCMEC co-founder Robbie Callaway and Red Robin burger experts. Contestants also shared why they thought their burger recipe should win in 100-words or less. Each kid chef finalist was judged based on their gourmet burger recipe, essay and overall presentation.

Outtakes from the Championship Event and Robin Miller's announcement of the grand-prize winner can be seen at www.redrobin.com/thefinalists.

"At Red Robin, we take great pride in being the gourmet burger expert and providing our guests the opportunity to try a variety of new, mouthwatering burgers like Emma's, especially for a great cause – child safety," said Susan Lintonsmith, Red Robin chief marketing officer. "On behalf of Red Robin, I'd like to congratulate all our kid burger chefs and give thanks to our panel of judges, including the Food Network's Robin Miller, who helped us select our winner."

Three runners up also were selected during the event: 12-year-old, Mike Smyth Jr. from New Lenox, Ill., who created the "Bacon Hot Popper Burger;" 12-year-old Gabriel Byrne from Berryton, Kan., who created the "Seven Wonders Burger;" and 11-year-old Randi Lenard from Rifle, Colo., who created the "Chili Lime Chicken Roll."

In addition to having her burger sold at Red Robin® restaurants next summer to benefit NCMEC's child safety initiatives, Potts won a family vacation to Universal Orlando® Resort. All 10 finalists each received a Red Robin iPod® nano, a $100 Red Robin gift card and a Red Robin goodie bag, as well as their all-expenses-paid trip to the Colorado Championship with a parent or guardian and the opportunity to meet a Food Network star. The finalists' gourmet burger recipes, along with 40 other kid-invented burger recipes and a recipe from Cook-Off celebrity judge, the Food Network's Robin Miller, will also be included in a kids' cookbook that features child safety tips from NCMEC available for free download online at www.redrobin.com in summer 2010.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Oct. 5, 2009 – In recognition of National Fire Prevention Week – Monday, Oct. 5 through Saturday, Oct. 10 – and seeing the importance of educating families and children to keep them safer, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin) and the National Fire Safety Council, Inc. (NFSC) are urging parents and guardians to make fire safety and prevention a priority by distributing FREE Fire Prevention Activity Books to families at participating Red Robin® restaurants nationwide starting today, Oct. 5. The book includes family-friendly ways to discuss fire safety tips and the importance of having working smoke detectors and a fire escape plan. In addition, participating restaurants will donate 50 cents from every kid's meal sold during Fire Prevention Week to NFSC to support its fire safety initiatives.

Red Robin, long-known for its commitment to education and keeping families safer, is the first restaurant company ever to partner with NFSC on an in-restaurant public awareness and education fire safety program. Last year, 84 percent of all fire deaths occurred from home fires, and according to the U.S. Fire Administration, having a sound escape plan will greatly reduce fire deaths and protect a family's safety if a fire occurs. Educating families about fire safety and prevention – including creating a personalized fire escape plan, an activity included in the free Fire Prevention Activity Books – is the most important tool in the event of a fire.

"We appreciate the National Fire Safety Council's efforts to teach kids, families and citizens in the communities we serve about such an important issue," said Susan Lintonsmith, chief marketing officer for Red Robin Gourmet Burgers. "We're pleased to provide a wider platform for fire safety and prevention education to families through our efforts during National Fire Prevention Week at our restaurants across the U.S."

These fire facts from NFSC further illustrate the importance of knowing what to do in the event of a fire. The free Fire Prevention Activity Book, available Oct. 5 to 10 at participating Red Robin® restaurants, includes activities and checklists for families to address all of the below:

• Eighty percent of all fire deaths occur in the home where Americans spend over 50 percent of their time.
• A home can be consumed in flames in less than 5 minutes from when a fire starts.
• Almost two-thirds of reported home fire deaths from 2003 to 2006 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms; a working smoke alarm doubles your chances of surviving a fire.
• When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected or dead.
• Only approximately 23 percent of households have actually developed and practiced a home fire escape plan to ensure they could escape quickly and safely.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., July 28, 2009 — Starting today, burger enthusiasts nationwide will have the opportunity to taste America’s newest gourmet burger recipe while also supporting an important cause. From Tuesday, July 28 to Sunday, Sept. 13, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin) will feature Idaho resident, 8-year-old Charlie Beckett’s Holy-Peño Burger in all U.S. Red Robin® restaurants. Fifty cents of each Holy-Peño Burger sold will be donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC) to support its child safety initiatives. Since 2006, the company has donated more than $160,000 to NCMEC through its Kids’ Cook-Off program.

"Charlie’s Holy-Peño Burger was a hit with the Kids’ Cook-Off judges and we’re certain our guests will enjoy its unique combination of flavors while also supporting a very important organization,” said Susan Lintonsmith, Red Robin chief marketing officer. “We are excited to celebrate the creativity of young and aspiring chefs while we support the National Center’s child safety programs for the third year in a row.”

Red Robin, the gourmet burger expert for the past 40 years, selected Beckett’s Holy-Peño Burger recipe – a blackened burger topped with jalapeños, pepper-jack cheese and caramelized onions served on a ciabatta bun – as the winning creation to be sold in each of its U.S. restaurants during the third annual Kids’ Cook-Off Championship in December 2008. More than 14,000 kid-invented gourmet burger recipes were received for the third annual event, and the top 50 recipes – including Beckett’s Holy-Peño Burger – are now featured in a cookbook, along with back-to-school child safety tips from NCMEC, that is available for free download at www.redrobin.com.

Calling all kid chefs!
Currently, Red Robin is accepting entries for its fourth annual Kids’ Cook-Off. During a time when at-home activities with families are on the rise compared to six months ago, and 74 percent of families say they spend more time cooking together*, the Kids’ Cook-Off encourages kids to experiment in the kitchen for the chance to have their burger recipe selected as America’s next gourmet burger. Kids, ages six to 12, can submit a gourmet burger recipe and 100-word statement about why they deserve to win from Tuesday, July 28 to Sunday, Sept. 13, at their local Red Robin® restaurant or online at www.redrobin.com.

Fifty kid-invented gourmet burger recipes submitted to the Kids’ Cook-Off will be chosen for inclusion in a cookbook available online in summer 2010 at www.redrobin.com. Like Beckett’s Holy-Peño Burger, this year’s grand-prize-winning burger will be sold at all participating U.S. Red Robin® restaurants in 2010 to benefit NCMEC’s child safety initiatives.

To select the fourth annual Kids’ Cook-Off grand-prize-winning burger recipe, 10 semi-finalists will be invited to Denver, Colo., in December 2009 to compete in the Kids’ Cook-Off Championship. At the event, the finalists will make their burger for a panel of judges, including well-known chefs, Colorado-based food experts and Red Robin representatives. During the competition, three runners-up and a grand-prize winner will be selected.

All 10 semi-finalists will receive a trip to Colorado for the Championship with an accompanying parent or guardian, a $100 Red Robin gift card, a $150 VISA gift card, and an iPod nano as prizes**. In addition to the grand-prize winner’s gourmet burger being featured in every participating U.S. Red Robin® restaurant to support NCMEC’s child safety initiatives and included in a kids’ cookbook in summer 2010, the grand-prize winner will also receive a family vacation to Universal Orlando® Resort and a 12-month membership to the Kids Cooking Club®.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. July 13, 2009 – This summer, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin), in partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC), is helping to increase awareness of child safety in communities across the country. Starting today, Monday, July 13, through Sunday, July 19, all participating* Red Robin® restaurants will give away FREE Child ID Kits to families with the purchase of a kids' menu item. In addition, Red Robin will donate 50 cents of every kids' meal sold between July 13 and 19 to NCMEC to support their child safety initiatives.

Child ID Kits can be a vital resource for parents who may be faced with the overwhelming situation of locating a missing or lost child. The ID Kit gives parents an easy way to document important information about their child such as physical characteristics, name, date of birth, fingerprints, sex, address and a current photograph. NCMEC strongly encourages families to complete an ID Kit and update the photographs of their children within the Kit every six months.

"Child ID Kits are a simple, yet effective method to help families maintain a current photograph and other descriptive details about their children, which can be one of the most important tools for law enforcement to use in the recovery of a missing child," said Ernie Allen, NCMEC president and CEO. "I would like to thank Red Robin for their generous support of our mission which helps us reach many more families across the country through our child safety initiatives."

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc., (NASDAQ: RRGB), a casual dining restaurant chain focused on serving an innovative selection of high-quality gourmet burgers in a family-friendly atmosphere, today announced it has begun phasing-in purchasing preferences toward ensuring that all of the eggs served in Red Robin’s company-owned restaurants come from suppliers that do not use battery cages.

As part of Red Robin’s corporate responsibility initiatives, which include the Company’s policy to support the humane treatment of farm animals within its supply chain, the Company intends to serve only cage-free eggs in its more than 300 company-owned restaurants by the end of 2010. Red Robin will make substantial progress toward its goal beginning in July 2009, when approximately a third of all eggs purchased by the company will be cage-free.

"Red Robin’s high standards for quality and unsurpassed Guest service remain our top priorities," said Susan Lintonsmith, senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "We recognize that the elimination of battery cages in egg production has become an increasingly important issue in the communities we serve."

In defining its cage-free egg initiative over the last several months, Red Robin has formed a working relationship with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).

"We sincerely appreciate the insights and ideas that the Humane Society has shared with Red Robin," said Lintonsmith. "We are pleased with their support for our battery cage-free egg commitments and look forward to continuing our dialog with the Humane Society on animal welfare issues."

• Southwest Ancho Chicken Salad – An ancho-grilled chicken breast on top of crisp greens tossed with a cool avocado-ranch dressing and layered with black beans, corn, grape tomatoes and Pepper-Jack and Cheddar cheeses. All topped with fried jalapeño rings, avocado slices, fresh cilantro and tortilla strips.
• Pomegranate Peach Limeade – This bottomless (all-you-can-drink) limeade mixes Monin® Lime, Peach and Pomegranate syrups and Sprite® together with ice and fresh lime wedges.

Move over cheeseburger, Rathdrum, Idaho resident, 7-year-old Charlie Beckett has created America’s next gourmet burger – the “Holy-Peño Burger.” After a Championship cook-off today against nine other kid finalists from across the country, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin), the gourmet burger expert, selected Beckett’s “Holy-Peño Burger” – made with jalapeños, Cajun spices, Pepper-jack cheese, to name a few ingredients – as the winner of the third annual “The Next Gourmet Burger Kids’ Recipe Contest.” The “Holy-Peño Burger” will be served in Red Robin® restaurants next summer, with a portion of the sales from the winning burger donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) to support its child safety initiatives. The winning gourmet burger also will be featured in an online kids’ cookbook available for free download next summer at www.redrobin.com.

Beckett’s “Holy-Peño Burger” was selected by Red Robin as the grand-prize-winning gourmet burger from among 10 finalists during the Championship event today at The International Culinary SchoolSM at The Art Institute of Colorado in Denver. During the competition, Beckett and the nine other contestants made their burgers for a panel of six judges, including Red Robin burger experts and Colorado-based food experts, including guest judge Chef Tyler Wiard of Elway’s restaurants.

“It was a thrill to be part of the judging panel for Red Robin’s ‘The Next Gourmet Burger Kids’ Recipe Contest’ Championship and to celebrate and encourage kids’ creativity in the kitchen,” said Wiard. “It was difficult to choose just one of the finalists’ delicious burgers as the winner, but the Holy-Peño Burger stood out from the rest with its impressive gourmet flavor combination of Cajun spices and jalapeños.”

Beckett’s “Holy-Peño Burger” was chosen from more than 14,000 burger recipe entries submitted online and at Red Robin? restaurants throughout the U.S. over the summer. The top 10 finalist recipes for the Championship event were chosen based on their inventive combination of ingredients, fun flavors and compelling 100-word statement on why their burger deserved to be selected as America’s Next Gourmet Burger.

“We named Charlie’s ‘Holy-Peño Burger’ as the winner of this year’s ‘The Next Gourmet Burger Kids’ Recipe Contest’ because it best exemplifies cooking creatively, and offers a new, flavorful twist on the gourmet burgers already featured on our menu,” said Susan Lintonsmith, Red Robin chief marketing officer. “At Red Robin, we take great pride in being the Gourmet Burger experts and providing all our guests the opportunity to try new, mouthwatering burgers like Charlie’s.”

In addition to having his burger sold at Red Robin® restaurants next summer, Beckett has won a family vacation to Universal Orlando® Resort, and will be invited to attend Red Robin’s Smiling Burger Championship in Southern California in January 2009, at which Red Robin team members from across the U.S. compete in a gourmet-burger-making contest.

Three runners up also were selected during the event: 12-year-old Danielle Lampitt from Rancho Santa Fe, Calif., who created “ The Oh So Gouda Burger;” 11-year-old Brendan Schott from Muskegon, Mich., who created the “Cheesy Pizza Paradise Burger;” and 10-year-old Adley Piccolo from Chesapeake, Va., who created the “Fireside Burger.”
The 10 finalists’ gourmet burger recipes, along with 40 other kid-invented burger recipes submitted through the contest, will be included in a cookbook available for FREE to download online at www.redrobin.com next summer. In addition to the kids’ recipes, the cookbook will include NCMEC tips and conversation starters for kids and parents to discuss Back-to-School safety while cooking together. NCMEC is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation; help find missing children; and assist victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals who serve them.

These grand openings are the 399th and 400th restaurants, respectively, in North America for the Colorado-based gourmet burger expert known for serving high-quality gourmet burgers, appetizers, entrees, salads and beverages in a kid- and family-friendly atmosphere.

Most recently named as one of the “10 Best Family Restaurant Chains” by Parents magazine, Red Robin was founded on four core values: Honor, Integrity, Continually Seeking Knowledge and Having Fun. Fast forward 39 years, and these core values continue to be at the foundation of the business, from Red Robin focusing on creating insanely delicious gourmet burgers to the hiring of energetic and friendly team members. They also are the foundation for how Red Robin treats team members, guests and give back to the communities it serves.

“We are thrilled to be expanding the Red Robin family of restaurants throughout North America,” said Eric Houseman, Red Robin president and chief operating officer. “With yesterday’s 399th and 400th restaurant openings in Massachusetts and Washington, and more new restaurants planned for this year, our unwavering commitment to exceptional guest service and serving high-quality food ensures our guests will always find a welcoming and fun family-friendly restaurant experience at Red Robin.”

The 399th Red Robin® restaurant is owned and operated by Round Robin LLC, a franchisee of Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. and is located at 27 Holyoke St., in the Holyoke Crossing shopping plaza in Holyoke, Mass. The 400th restaurant location is corporate-owned and located at 27193 185th Ave. SE, on the corner of 272nd and 185th Avenues in front of Home Depot in Covington, Wash.

At the end of the 2007 fiscal year, there were a total of 383 company-owned and franchised Red Robin® restaurants. In fiscal 2008, Red Robin plans to open 30 to 32 new company-owned units, while franchisees are expected to open between nine and 11 new restaurants.

While some food trends may come and go, current research shows the burger continues to thrive as one of the most popular menu items in restaurants nationwide. According to Technomic, Inc., 85 percent of consumers eat burgers once a month or more, proving that burgers are a perennial favorite in a seemingly ever-changing casual dining scene. Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin), always known for serving high-quality gourmet burgers, launched a redesigned menu that provides a stronger focus on the restaurant’s core menu item – gourmet burgers made with Honest to Goodness® ingredients.

To prove that a burger can creatively merge tradition with newer, popular flavors, Red Robin’s new menu features three new gourmet burgers – the Sicilian Burger, Blackened Bayou Burger and Jamaican Jerk’d Chicken Burger. The new menu design also allows for easier navigation through Red Robin’s more than two-dozen gourmet burger selections with updated gourmet burger categories, and additional burger photos to whet guests’ appetites.

“The majority of our guests visit Red Robin to satisfy their gourmet burger cravings,” said Eric Houseman, Red Robin president and COO. “Through our redesigned menu, we can continue to provide guests with a fun and delicious dining experience for kids and families by focusing on our wide variety of craveable burgers, including traditional favorites and innovative combinations that show just how creative you can be with gourmet burgers.”

The new Red Robin menu highlights three new, streamlined gourmet burger categories:
• Classic Gourmet Burgers including the Royal Red Robin Burger® that is crowned with a fried egg, and the Banzai Burger, which is marinated in teriyaki and topped with grilled pineapple
• Lighten-up Burgers that showcase how versatile Red Robin chefs can be when creating lighter options for guests
• Insanely Delicious Burgers, which include Red Robin’s most innovative burgers made with unique buns, proteins and toppings, all served with signature Bottomless™ Garlic Parmesan Steak Fries

In addition to streamlining the gourmet burgers on Red Robin’s menu, the salads, sandwiches, soups and wraps, and entrees can now be found on the back side of the menu, helping to increase the visibility and navigation of these items as well. The menu also features additional images showcasing Red Robin’s variety of Chillin’ Concoctions™ beverages.

To keep the main focus of the menu on Red Robin’s superior gourmet burgers and entrees, a “Check Out Our Drink Menu” icon directs guests to a new stand-alone beverage menu to find their favorite Masterful Mixology® beverages. These separate drink menus are displayed at each table, allowing Red Robin guests to focus on available drink options easily throughout their meal.

Lastly, the new Red Robin menu features three new gourmet burgers made with Honest to Goodness® ingredients that highlight popular Italian, Mediterranean and Latin flavors. The new gourmet burgers include:
• Sicilian Burger – This gourmet burger is piled high with pepperoni slices, provolone cheese and balsamic-marinated tomatoes, and garnished with red onions, romaine lettuce, and olive-herb mayonnaise, served on an herbed focaccia bun.
• Blackened Bayou Burger – A blackened burger topped with roasted red peppers, Angry Onions®, pepper-jack cheese, Creole mustard sauce and cabbage-carrot mix all on a jalapeño-cornmeal kaiser roll. The combination of sweet, spicy and citrus flavors reflect a Latin-inspired flavor.
• Jamaican Jerk’d Chicken Burger – A spicy Jamaican-jerked chicken breast, pepper-jack cheese, grilled pineapple, cool mango mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato served on a jalapeño-cornmeal kaiser roll.

All Red Robin entrées, including the new menu items, are customizable to accommodate the taste, dietary needs and preferences of every guest. To learn more about Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and to find the Red Robin® restaurant nearest you, please visit www.redrobin.com.

In the video, Red Robin team members appear in the back of a family’s car presenting two kids with ice cream sundaes to celebrate their recent soccer game victory. The tag line encompasses what Red Robin strives to achieve: Here at Red Robin we do more than serve great food. We make sure every experience you have here is unforgettable. When you walk in that door, you’re more than just a guest, you’re family.

“There are thousands of stories about Red Robin team members who live our values through the random acts of kindness they deliver to restaurant guests and other team members every day,” said Jerrod Janakus, Red Robin vice president of marketing. “We are thrilled to reward Miranda for her dedication to Red Robin’s ‘Unbridled’ culture with a role in our new advertising campaign. Each ‘Unbridled Act,’ regardless of size, is a true testament to our culture and the care we take for each and every guest. ”

Four runners-up also were selected for performing and recreating an Unbridled Act for the Team Member Video Contest: Debbie Caron from Rockville, Conn.; Erik Steele from Clinton Township, Mich.; Eric Madrid from Centennial, Colo.; and Jacob Lofland from Selah, Wash. Each runner-up will receive a cameo appearance in a Red Robin commercial that will air nationwide.

It also enables us to recognize individuals that have acted heroically during an emergency, like the young man that went into a smoke-filled house to save his elderly neighbor last year.”

“Supporting the local communities where our restaurants are located is an important part of the Red Robin culture,” said Eric Houseman, Red Robin president and chief operating officer. “We invite everyone to come out and enjoy one of our 22 gourmet burgers and support the Westminster Fire Department during our grand opening week.”

The 5,600 square foot Westminster Red Robin restaurant will seat 202 guests, and will be 100 percent smoke-free. Red Robin has 20 additional restaurants in Colorado including eight locations in the Denver-metro area, four locations in Colorado Springs, and one location each in Boulder, Broomfield, Castle Rock, Grand Junction., Greeley, Lafayette, Longmont and Loveland.

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin) today announced the national launch of its U-ACT™ Champion Program, a character-building initiative specifically designed for middle and junior high schools, for the 2007-2008 academic year. According to a recent national survey conducted by the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center, 13 percent of students in grades six to ten reported bullying others and 11 percent reported being the target of bullies. U-ACT, which stands for ‘Unbridled Acts,’ aims to inspire and energize students to create a sense of neighborliness inside and outside of their school; emphasize the value of being kind to others; and encourage individual students and schools to demonstrate ‘Unbridled’ kind acts in their schools and local communities. The Champion school will be rewarded with a $20,000 grant.

The U-ACT Champion Program was originally launched in 2005 as a pilot program in Colorado junior and middle high schools. The program is based on Red Robin’s core value where team members perform random acts of kindness and go above and beyond to help restaurant guests and other team members. Through the U-ACT Champion Program, Red Robin hopes to help eliminate negative, bullying behavior by encouraging students to participate in school-wide programs that emphasize being kind to others.

“We are pleased with the enthusiastic response we have received for the U-ACT Champion Program from schools in Colorado and are excited to share our Unbridled philosophy with students in grades six to eight nationwide,” said Kim McBee, Red Robin vice president of marketing. “We look forward to seeing how students accept this challenge and make a positive impact in their schools and surrounding communities this academic year.”

Participants in the U-ACT Champion Program will be required to implement activities inside and outside their schools that demonstrate how they are bringing the ‘Unbridled’ philosophy – engaging in acts of kindness – to life. Examples could include hosting a special community fundraiser or recognizing the simple, everyday things students do to help each other succeed all year long.

At the end of the 2007-2008 academic year, participating schools will compete for the chance to be named the U-ACT Champion School, an Award of Excellence School or an Award of Merit School, which will earn the winning schools grants from $500 to $20,000. In addition, all winning schools will be invited to participate in a special school spirit night at their local Red Robin® restaurant.

The winning school for the pilot program during the 2006-2007 academic year was Oberon Middle School in Arvada, Colo. Motivated by U-ACT, Oberon Middle School implemented several student and staff recognition programs including Super Star Student Awards, Vikings of the Month and a TEACHER award. Other outreach efforts included a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina victims, food drives, and collecting coats and clothing during the holiday season.

“We would like to thank Red Robin for creating the U-ACT Champion Program. The program had such a positive impact on our school, we are continuing to implement ‘Unbridled Acts’ and recognize the efforts of both our students and staff in the new academic year,” said Dana Ellis, principal at Oberon Middle School. “It’s nice to know Red Robin is willing to contribute so much to help schools recognize their students’ efforts.”

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (Red Robin) is launching the second annual “The Next Gourmet Burger Kids’ Recipe Contest.” With a growing interest from kids in food-focused TV shows, cooking classes and celebrity chef cookbooks, Red Robin is following the success of the inaugural contest and is again asking kids ages six through 12 to share their culinary skills by inventing winning recipes for America’s next gourmet burger. From Aug. 13 to Sept. 16, 2007, kids are invited to express their culinary creativity through “The Next Gourmet Burger Kids’ Recipe Contest” by visiting their local Red Robin® restaurant to submit an original gourmet burger recipe and a 100-word statement on why their burger deserves to be America’s next gourmet burger.

The contest encourages kids to play with their food and get creative in the kitchen with their family and friends to concoct their own gourmet burger recipe. The winning gourmet burger will be featured in every Red Robin® restaurant next summer.

Nacho cheese, gummy worms, fried pickles, pizza and chocolate were just a few of the inventive ingredients kids suggested to Red Robin for consideration as America’s next gourmet burger in 2006. The Spicy Asian Burger, created by 10-year-old food connoisseur Adrianna Montgomery, from Raleigh, N.C., was selected as the winner of the inaugural contest. Adrianna’s Asian-inspired burger featured a variety of ‘foodie’ ingredients like Napa cabbage, a ginger wasabi sauce and crispy wontons.

“Red Robin is all about kids and families. Our youngest guests continually amaze us with their sophisticated palates, so we are excited to encourage them to once again use their culinary creativity to invent America’s next gourmet burger,” said Kim McBee, Red Robin vice president of marketing. “We hope the 2007 contest continues to encourage our young guests and their families to enjoy quality, fun time together through cooking.”

The winning gourmet burger and approximately 50 additional recipes from kids across the country will be selected for inclusion in a cookbook sold online at www.redrobin.com to benefit the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC) next summer. Each gourmet burger included in the cookbook will be selected based on its inventive ingredients and fun flavors. Recipes from various celebrities will also be included in the cookbook as well as Internet safety tips and conversation starters for families provided by NCMEC and the NetSmartz Workshop, NCMEC’s Internet safety resource. NetSmartz provides age-appropriate resources focused on basic Internet safety, social networking, and real-life stories which are available free of charge at www.NetSmartz.org. Nationwide purchases of the inaugural Red Robin contest cookbook this summer resulted in a more than $41,000 donation to NCMEC.

To select the grand prize winner, 10 semi-finalists will be invited to Denver, Colo. in November to compete in the “Next Gourmet Burger Kids’ Recipe Contest” Championship where they will make their burger for a panel of Red Robin judges and local celebrities. During the competition, three runners-up and a grand prize winner will be selected.

All 10 semi-finalists will receive a trip to Colorado for the event and a Red Robin iPod as a prize.* In addition to the grand prize winner’s gourmet burger being featured in every U.S. Red Robin® restaurant in 2008, the grand prize winner’s family will receive a family vacation to Universal Studios HollywoodSM The Entertainment Capital of L.A.SM, and will be invited to act as a special guest judge at Red Robin’s Smiling Burger Championship event held in January, 2008 in the Bahamas.

All U.S. Red Robin® restaurants will have entry forms and will accept gourmet burger recipe ideas from Aug. 13 to Sept. 16, 2007. To find the nearest Red Robin® restaurant location, visit www.redrobin.com.

During the two-week long fundraiser, local television, print and radio celebrities will make appearances at all three Spokane-area Red Robin® restaurants and sell specially-designed Red Robin® hearts for $1.

When a guest purchases a heart, it will be prominently displayed at their respective Red Robin? restaurant.

In addition, Spokane-area high schools will participate in “Spirit with a Heart.” Each school will host a special school spirit night at one of the three Red Robin® restaurants. On these nights, students will compete to sell the $1 Red Robin® hearts with the hope of receiving the “Spirit with a Heart” traveling trophy. The trophy is currently on display at Freeman High School, the winner of the 2006 competition.

“Red Robin has a special place in its heart for the Crisis Nursery, and we’re excited to be celebrating the program’s seventh year,” said Eric Houseman, Red Robin president and chief operating officer. “We strongly believe in giving back to our local communities, and I encourage everyone to visit one of our three locations to help support a very important cause.”

Gummy worms, macaroni & cheese, pizza, chocolate, fruit, and peanut butter & jelly were just a few of the creative ingredients suggested for America’s next gourmet burger. Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc., (Red Robin), has selected nine-year-old, Raleigh, N.C., resident Adrianna Montgomery’s Spicy Asian Burger as the grand prize winner of “The Next Gourmet Burger Kids Contest.”

Red Robin developed the contest to give kids the opportunity to create their own unique gourmet burgers using their imaginative culinary talents and to bring fun to family meal time. After a burger-making competition between four national finalists in Miami, Fla., on Wednesday, Jan. 17, Red Robin selected Montgomery as the winner of the contest. More than 16,000 kids, 10 and under, from across the country submitted a burger creation and a 100-word statement describing why their burger deserved to be America’s next gourmet burger.

“This contest gave parents and kids a great reason to have fun together and be creative,” said Miriam Around, editor-in-chief of Child magazine. “Cooking is a great way to spend quality time with your children, and research shows that kids who help in the kitchen are more willing to try new foods and have a stronger sense of family.”

Montgomery’s Spicy Asian Burger is made with the following ingredients: hamburger, teriyaki sauce, wonton strips, Napa cabbage, sesame seeds, and creamy ginger wasabi sauce. The other three finalists include nine-year-old Zac Tennant from Meridian, Id., who created the Red Robin Reuben Burger; eight-year-old Courtney Rundio from Mesa, Ariz., who created the Cactus Jack Burger; and 10-year-old Caressa Morris from Portland, Ore., who created the Ooey Gooey Nacho Burger.

“We take great pride in creating high-quality gourmet burgers. We selected Adrianna’s unique Spicy Asian Burger because it is creative and uses inventive ingredients,” said Eric Houseman, Red Robin president and chief operating officer. “The Spicy Asian Burger will be a great addition to our summer promotion.”

As the grand prize winner, Montgomery’s gourmet burger will be featured in every U.S. Red Robin® restaurant from May 21 to July 15, 2007 and she will receive a family vacation for four to Universal Studios HollywoodSM, The Entertainment Capital of L.A.SM; a Red Robin iPod® nano, a customized Epiphone Les Paul Special II® guitar courtesy of Gibson Guitar Corp.,* and a $100 Red Robin gift card. All three runners-up also received a Red Robin iPod® nano and a $100 gift card.**

Fifty recipes, including the four finalists, were selected from across the country to be included in a kid’s cookbook that Red Robin will sell nationwide next summer to benefit the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC). NCMEC is a non-profit organization with a mission to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation; help find missing children; and assist victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals who serve them.

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc., (Red Robin), a casual dining restaurant chain focused on serving an innovative selection of high-quality gourmet burgers in a family-friendly atmosphere today announced the launch of its newly renovated Web site, www.redrobin.com. The new Web site is constructed with consumer-friendly navigational elements, and incorporates the ‘Honest to Goodness’ brand look and feel that Red Robin introduced last summer. Some of the new features of the site include streaming media and animations; Unbridled Acts of Kindness, or UBA’s; a restaurant locator; a My RR applet; and restaurant-specific menus.

“We have created a robust Web site that encourages our guests to experience our family-friendly atmosphere online,” said Jerrod Janakus, vice president of creative branding at Red Robin. “The new features of the site allow guests of all ages to easily make a personal connection with Red Robin.”

The new Web site will incorporate some of the most popular features of the previous site, including “The Customizer,” which allows guests to build gourmet burgers that fit their individual tastes. In addition it also features an area to sign up for the Red Robin eClub as well as career, investor and media information.

Streaming Media/Animations:
In an effort to make its Web site more entertaining and engaging, Red Robin has incorporated several videos and animations throughout the new Web site. For instance, when visitors first log on, they will experience an animated video highlighting the current food promotion or contest. Other sections, such as the ‘About Us’ section, also have animated features.

UBA’s:
Red Robin has an unparalleled and extraordinary approach to guest service known as Unbridled Acts®, or UBA’s.

Through the new Web site, Red Robin now has the ability to track and archive the amazing UBA’s from across the country. By clicking on the ‘Unbridled Acts of Kindness’ button on the homepage, viewers can see examples of the Red Robin culture in action.

Locations & Mapping:

“My RR” Applet:
This section can be seen in the upper right hand corner of the Web site with the text, ‘My RR.’ After visitors pick a specific Red Robin® restaurant location in the ‘Locate’ section, their chosen restaurant will be displayed in this section.

When the visitor logs off and logs back on, this information will be remembered and displayed each time the visitor returns to the site.

Web Menus:
