"GASTRO GAUNTLET" 

Gastro Gauntlet is an action-packed, influencer-led campaign that uniquely leverages parkour star Lorena Abreu's extraordinary skills to transform an everyday Red Robin into a burger battlefield complete with a granma, baby and lumberjack. I mean, what else were you expecting?

"RED HANDED"
starring MLB All-Star Elly De La Cruz
