GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., May 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The unofficial start to the summer grilling season is around the corner and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews (Red Robin) is giving backyard grilling fanatics an opportunity to be the authority of their summer barbecues. Everyone claims to be a grill master, but even the most seasoned grillers can benefit from a new tip or two, and now grillers of all skill levels can turn to "The Yummm Hotline" with their burning questions. Timed to the most popular grilling holidays throughout the summer, lines to 1-844-RR-YUMMM will open on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, giving callers the opportunity to receive tips from Red Robin's culinary team on protein preparation, buns and everything in between.

"Red Robin has been the authority on gourmet burgers for more than 45 years," said Jonathan Muhtar, Red Robin's senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "With more than two dozen craveable, high-quality burgers, we know a thing or two about the trade. While nothing beats a Red Robin burger, we wanted to lend our expertise to help grillers all over the country master their barbecues this summer."

On Memorial Day from noon – 9 p.m. EST, "The Yummm Hotline" representatives will be standing by ready to answer consumers' burger-based questions to get them on the fast track to grilling success.
