Whiskey River BBQ
The Red Robin burger people try to recreate at home, and not by accident. A pile of crispy onion straws under a heavy pour of sweet, smoky Whiskey River barbecue sauce, so the top layer stays crunchy while the bottom soaks through. With cheddar and a bit of lettuce and tomato, it is sticky, loud and very satisfying. My copycat rebuilds the buttermilk onion straws at home.

About Red Robin
Red Robin is the burger chain you sit down in, with a server, a booth and a birthday song if someone at the table admits to it. It grew out of an old Seattle tavern that started selling gourmet burgers in 1969, and the whole identity rests on two ideas: big, loaded burgers, and Bottomless Steak Fries that keep coming as long as you keep eating.
Roughly 500 restaurants across the United States and Canada.
