Bad Daddy's Burger Bar debuts The Big Dill, a pickle-packed limited-time burger with housemade pickle pico, frites and dill ranch. Available Aug. 1-31 for $16.
Bad Daddy's Burger Bar is rolling out a pickle-centric limited-time burger called The Big Dill at all of its restaurants from Aug. 1 through Aug. 31. The chain is betting that stacking pickle flavor into every layer of a burger will draw in fans of briny, tangy food during the peak summer grilling season.
The burger starts with a seven-ounce beef patty on a toasted brioche bun, topped with Monterey Jack cheese. Three housemade components go on top: pickle pico, crispy pickle frites and dill ranch. A gherkin spear finishes the build. The price is $16 with a classic side.
We built pickles into every layer, John Masterson, the chain's culinary director, said. The housemade pickle pico brings brightness, the pickle frites add crunch and the dill ranch ties everything together. It's a seriously good burger, he said.
Bad Daddy's is also offering a pairing: a $6 tall of Blue Moon Belgian White through August. The citrus-forward wheat beer is meant to cut through the burger's savory richness.
The August drop is the sixth installment of the chain's Big Bad Monthly Drop series, which introduces chef-driven limited-time items each month. The strategy gives customers a recurring reason to visit, a common tactic in fast-casual dining to drive repeat traffic and social media buzz.
Bad Daddy's was founded in 2007 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is now based in Golden, Colorado. It runs more than 35 locations across seven states, all with scratch kitchens that produce hand-cut fries and housemade sauces and dressings. The chain is known for over-the-top burger creations like the Bacon Cheeseburger on Steroids and the Steakhouse Smash. A full bar with craft beers and house margaritas rounds out the menu.
Monthly Drop #007 will launch Sept. 1, continuing the pattern of unexpected, chef-driven creations.
