GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Aug. 3, 2010 – Starting today, burger enthusiasts nationwide will have the opportunity to taste America's newest gourmet burger recipe – created by a 10-year-old kid chef – while also supporting an important cause. From Tuesday, Aug. 3 to Sunday, Sept. 12, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin) will feature Washington resident, 10-year-old Emma Potts' Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger in all U.S. Red Robin^® restaurants. Fifty cents of each Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger sold will be donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children^® (NCMEC) to support its child safety education and abduction and exploitation prevention efforts*. Since 2006, Red Robin has donated more than $170,000 to NCMEC through its Kids' Cook-Off program.

Red Robin, the gourmet burger expert for more than 40 years, selected Potts' Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger recipe – made with a burger patty topped with a spicy honey glaze, ripe red tomato, mayonnaise, bacon, cayenne pepper, butter leaf lettuce and havarti cheese – as the winning creation during the fourth annual Kids' Cook-Off Championship in December 2009 to be sold in each of its U.S. restaurants. More than 11,000 kids from across the country submitted gourmet burger recipes for the fourth annual event, and the top 50 recipes, including Potts' Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger, are now featured in a cookbook. The cookbook, available for free download at www.redrobin.com, also includes a Chicken Taco Salad Burger recipe from Food Network star and Kids' Cook-Off judge, Robin Miller and back-to-school child safety tips from NCMEC.

Additionally, Red Robin is currently accepting entries for its fifth annual Kids' Cook-Off. The Kids' Cook-Off encourages kids to experiment in the kitchen with their families 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, Aug. 3 to Sunday, Sept. 12, online at www.RedRobinKidsCookOff.com or via mail to Red Robin Kids' Cook-Off Contest, P.O. Box 133, Trenton, IL 62293.

To select the fifth annual Kids' Cook-Off grand-prize-winning burger recipe, 10 finalists will be invited to Denver, Colo., in December 2010 to compete in the Kids' Cook-Off Championship. During the competition, a fan favorite, three runners-up and a grand-prize winner will be selected. And, like Potts' Spicy Honey Glazed Bacon Burger, the 2010 grand-prize-winning burger will be sold at all participating U.S. Red Robin^® restaurants to benefit NCMEC's child safety initiatives and included in a kids' cookbook in summer 2011.

All 10 semi-finalists will receive a trip to Colorado for the Championship with an accompanying parent or guardian, a $75 Red Robin gift card, a $100 VISA gift card, and an iPod nano as prizes**. In addition, the grand-prize winner also will receive a family vacation to Universal Orlando^® Resort and Red Robin gift cards for a year***.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., June 14, 2010 – Building on the success of its spring marketing campaign, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin), known for its high-quality gourmet burgers and family-friendly atmosphere, today launched its latest 2010 national marketing campaign based on the casual dining chain's popular and memorable mnemonic, "Red Robin...YUMMM^™".

Created by Minneapolis-based Periscope, Red Robin's advertising agency of record, the campaign first launched in February of this year and significantly improved trends in both guest traffic and same store sales during the restaurant chain's spring limited time offer (LTO) promotion, gaining positive momentum for the Red Robin brand heading into the summer months. Unaided brand awareness levels increased by five percentage points year over year during the Company's first quarter of 2010 when the campaign ran, and Red Robin's online fans became much more engaged through social media. Specifically, Red Robin added 30,000 Facebook fans during the first quarter of this year, doubling the size of its previous fan base.

The new campaign, which includes television and online campaign elements, was designed as a continuation of Red Robin's inaugural campaign. The advertisements are intended to increase awareness for Red Robin's quality, variety and value and capitalize on the catch phrase, "Red Robin... YUMMM^™," while promoting Red Robin's summer limited time offer menu items, the Big Melt Bacon Burger and Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich, each available for $6.99.

"We developed the campaign after focus group research found that many consumers could easily recall and recite Red Robin's mnemonic, ‘Red Robin... YUMMM' – and it really worked to drive traffic for Red Robin's spring LTO," said Charlie Callahan, vice president and executive creative director at Periscope. "The next campaign will continue to build on the momentum of "YUMMM" to keep Red Robin^® restaurants a top-of-mind choice for dining out this summer among consumers, especially families with kids."

Red Robin's latest marketing campaign will appear online, including on sites like CafeMom, USA Today and the Weather Channel; and on cable television, including USA Network, TBS, TLC, Comedy Central and Food Network.

As part of the campaign, consumers will experience the popular "YUMMM" mnemonic again through the following mediums:

• Airing through Sunday, July 18, the TV ads feature two YUMMM scenarios. One depicts a stoic guard in front of what appears to be Buckingham Palace in London. While the guard stands motionless and at attention, a tourist couple tries to get him to act out, and ultimately succeeds by yelling, "Red Robin," to which the guard responds, "YUMMM."
  
  The second scenario shows a young girl in a backyard playing hide-and-seek. In an effort to find her hidden friends, the girl shouts, "Red Robin," which coincidently entices her friends to come out of hiding and respond, "YUMMM." Both scenarios are followed by details about and delectable images of Red Robin's new, limited time offer items.
• The Buckingham Palace guard scenario also will be featured online as an Extended Web Video on Red Robin's YouTube channel.
• In synched display creative format, a Red Robin ad calls, through a thought bubble, "Red Robin," followed by a parody ad featuring a woman in what appears to be a spa advertisement answering with a corresponding "YUMMM."

To leave guests wanting more YUMMM, Red Robin created the following new limited time offer items available now through Sunday, July 25, that highlight what Red Robin is all about – craveable food made with fresh, Honest to Goodness^® ingredients:

• Big Melt Bacon Burger – Loaded with applewood smoked bacon, melty Cheddar and Swiss cheese on top of sautéed mushrooms, onions and barbeque sauce. Served on a toasty onion bun with fresh lettuce and ranch dressing.
• Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich – Sweet honey mustard on a grilled chicken breast topped with Cheddar cheese and freshly prepared guacamole with crisp lettuce, tomato, red onions and mayo on a whole grain bun.

"Our summer LTO burger and chicken sandwich are intended to continue communicating our focus on quality, variety and value to our guests," said Susan Lintonsmith, Red Robin chief marketing officer. "In addition to the LTO, we've also just launched a new menu that features nearly a dozen, new menu items, and we believe our quality, variety and value really shine through in this latest version.

On its new menu that is now available in the majority of restaurant locations, Red Robin has added the following new items to its already wide selection of gourmet burgers, salads and entrees with no new price increases:


• All-American Patty Melt – a gourmet burger topped with sautéed onions, homemade Thousand Island dressing, and melted cheese. Loaded up on marbled rye bread and grilled to perfection for $8.79.
• Pub Burger – a gourmet burger topped with ale-braised onions and mushrooms, creamy peppercorn-ranch, melted Cheddar and Swiss cheese and fresh tomatoes. Served on a toasted onion bun for $9.49.
• A few new pastas, including a Classic Creamy Mac ‘N' Cheese, Grilled Chicken Pesto Pasta and Grilled Chicken Alla Caprese
• Lower-priced appetizers, called "Jump Starters," including Onion Rings, Fresh-fried Cheese Sticks, and Fresh-fried Jalapeno Coins, to name a few.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., June 1, 2010 – From Tuesday, June 1 through Sunday, June 13, 2010, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin), announced the company will be giving away free Child ID Kits with the purchase of a kids' menu item at participating* Red Robin restaurants. The company will also donate 50 cents of every kids' meal sold** during this time to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children^® (NCMEC) to fund the organization's child safety initiatives.

According to NCMEC, summer is an important time for parents to be vigilant about child safety because of the different activities their children are involved in this time of year. Red Robin partnered with NCMEC to provide the Child ID Kit, an important child safety tool, and child safety tips to help parents keep children safe. The promotion is part of Red Robin's ongoing commitment to child safety.

NCMEC also stresses the important of good communication between parents and children and offers a few tips for parents:

• Make sure children know their full names, address, telephone numbers, and how to use the telephone.
• Teach children what to do in an emergency and how to reach you or another trusted adult if they feel scared.
• Update their Child ID Kit. Summer is a great time to update the information and photo in your child's ID Kit, and mark your calendar to do so every 6 months.
• For more safety tips from NCMEC, visit: http://www.redrobin.com/newsitem.aspx?id=20.

"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 search for a missing child," said Ernie Allen, President and CEO of NCMEC. "I would like to thank Red Robin for its generous support and continuing efforts to help us reach families throughout the U.S. with information that can help keep children safe."

The Child ID Kit contains information such as physical characteristics, name, date of birth, fingerprints, sex, address, and a current photograph. For more information on how to accurately complete a Child ID Kit, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/RedRobinBurgers#p/a/u/0/zaxiWOrRMV0.

Red Robin focuses its philanthropic support on local and national causes that promote the health, welfare and education of children, families and citizens in the communities it serves. Because of its shared commitment to families and child safety, Red Robin partnered with NCMEC in 2006 and has continued its partnership through the company's new restaurant openings and additional programs such as Red Robin's Kids Cook-Off.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Feb. 19, 2010 – Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (Red Robin), known for its high-quality gourmet burgers and family-friendly atmosphere, announced the launch of a new national online, television and radio marketing campaign beginning on Monday, Feb. 22, based on the casual dining chain's popular and memorable mnemonic, "Red Robin... YUMMM™".

The campaign was designed to increase awareness for Red Robin's quality, variety and value and drive guest traffic by capitalizing on the already widely recognizable catch phrase, "Red Robin... YUMMM™," while also promoting Red Robin's latest limited time offer menu items, the Prime Chophouse Burger and Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad, each available for $5.99.

Created by Periscope, a Minneapolis-based advertising firm and Red Robin's agency of record, the campaign was developed after focus group research found that many consumers could easily recall and recite Red Robin's mnemonic – "Red Robin... YUMMM." Throughout the campaign, promotion of the "YUMMM" mnemonic will help keep Red Robin® restaurants a top-of-mind choice for dining out among consumers.

"We realized Red Robin's popular mnemonic – YUMMM – could function as a modern-day Pavlovian bell which, when sounded, would cause people to immediately think of our craveable gourmet burgers," said Susan Lintonsmith, Red Robin chief marketing officer. "So, we're leveraging this already well-known asset to engage our guests and encourage them to try one of our value-priced limited time offers this spring.'"

Red Robin's marketing campaign is appearing online; on cable television, including USA Network, TBS, TLC, Comedy Central and Food Network; and on local television and radio stations in approximately 30 markets nationwide, including Denver, Colo.; Seattle, Wash.; St. Louis, Mo.; and Phoenix, Ariz.

To educate consumers about Red Robin's irreverent and fun brand personality, the ads feature various tongue-in-cheek scenarios where unlikely subjects – including a baby, a lawyer and even the normally elusive Yeti – literally answer the Red Robin call by saying "YUMMM." As part of the campaign, consumers will experience the popular "YUMMM" mnemonic through the following mediums:

• TV ads – Airing beginning Monday, Feb. 22 through Sunday, March 28, on various local and cable stations, the ads feature two YUMMM scenarios. Paying tribute to Red Robin's Colorado hometown, one scenario depicts a man climbing a mountain and looking out onto Mt. Evans, one of Colorado's famous 14,000-foot peaks and shouting "Red Robin" only to be answered by a Yeti saying "YUMMM." The other shows a mother soothing her crying baby with a soft lullaby that includes "Red Robin," words that comfort the baby and allow the baby to answer "YUMMM." Both scenarios are followed by details about and delectable images of Red Robin's new, limited time offer items.
• Online shorts – Currently appearing on a variety of Web sites, ranging from Hulu to iVillage, the online spots are thematically similar to the TV ads, but highlight different "Answer the Call" scenarios in a shorter format. One shows a man pumping gas and humming a tune that incorporates "Red Robin." In this scene, a voice from the gas pump speaker answers "YUMMM." The other features two people playing Scrabble. One person spells "Red Robin" on the game board, and the other "answers the call" by spelling "YUMMM."
• Online parody ads – In synched display creative format, a Red Robin branded ads calls, through a thought bubble, "Red Robin," followed by a parody ad featuring a fictitious lawyer answering with a corresponding "YUMMM."
• YUMMM Builder" game – A play off the 1980's game, "Burger Time," the goal of YUMMM Builder is to build a gourmet burger before everyday kitchen items like utensils "eat" the player. YUMMM Builder winners have the opportunity to immediately download the "Red Robin...YUMMM" ringtone. Please click here for the iPhone YUMMM ringtone and here to download the ringtone to all other phones.

To leave guests wanting more YUMMM, Red Robin created the following new limited time offer items available now through Sunday, April 11, that highlight what Red Robin is all about – craveable food made with fresh, Honest to Goodness® ingredients:

• Prime Chophouse Burger – This juicy burger is layered with horseradish-sautéed mushrooms, gourmet steak sauce, melted Provolone cheese and piled high with crispy onion straws. Served on an onion bun with Dijon Spread, available for $5.99.
• Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad – An ancho-grilled chicken breast, avocado slices and fresh-fried jalapeño rings on top of crisp greens tossed in salsa-ranch dressing and layered with diced red and green bell peppers and onions, chipotle black beans, cheddar and pepper-jack cheeses and crunchy tortilla strips, also available for $5.99.
• Chili Chili™ Con Queso – Served hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and salsa, paired with corn tortilla chips and Red Robin's own jalapeño-cheese flour tortilla chips.
• Freckled Lemonade® Shake – Creamy soft serve blended with sweet strawberries and tart lemonade syrup. Finished with extra strawberries at the bottom and whipped cream and a lemon wedge on top.
