TL;DR

The challenge, which runs from April 29 to May 3, gives participants the chance to win a virtual meet-and-eat with Derek Hough over Red Robin's new Bacon Bash menu items.
To celebrate the new menu items, the brand has partnered with Derek Hough - two-time Emmy Award winner, professional dancer, choreographer, actor and singer - to encourage fans to show off their moves with a Bacon Dance TikTok challenge launching on International Dance Day (April 29). Those who post a TikTok video of themselves doing "The Bacon Bash" dance, choreographed by Derek, tagging @RedRobinBurgers and using the hashtags #RedRobin, #BaconDance and #contest between April 29 and May 3 will have the chance to win a virtual "meet-and-eat" with Derek over Red Robin's new Bacon Bash menu items.
"We are so excited about the introduction of our new limited-time Bacon Bash menu items, we wanted to celebrate with our guests in an especially fun and engaging way," said Jonathan Muhtar, Red Robin Executive Vice President & Chief Concept Officer. "There's no better partner than Derek Hough to lead our Bacon Dance challenge, creating connections among fans, friends and families everywhere. Guests are letting us know that they love the new menu items, and they're enjoying them both in our restaurants and in the comfort of their own homes."
"Red Robin's new Bacon Bash menu items are so good, you can't help but dance," said Derek Hough. "So, Red Robin and I have come together to create the newest TikTok dance challenge calling on all Red Robin fans, bacon-lovers and dance enthusiasts to show off their moves for a chance to join me for a virtual 'meet-and-eat' over Red Robin's new menu items."
