Hard Rock Cafe Orlando is now serving the five wildly creative finalist burgers from its 2025 World Burger Tour, and burger lovers will not want to miss out.
Each year, Hard Rock Cafe challenges chefs from its locations worldwide to create culturally inspired burgers that blend bold local flavors with classic burger craftsmanship. This year’s finalists bring heat, sweetness, smokiness, and serious innovation to the table—all featuring two juicy smashed burger patties and a side of seasoned fries.
Even better? You can try all five finalist burgers right now at Hard Rock Cafe Orlando, located at Universal Orlando’s CityWalk, just steps from Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.
What Is the World Burger Tour?
The World Burger Tour is Hard Rock Cafe’s annual chef competition, where select locations across the globe submit unique burger creations that represent their local culture and culinary trends. These burgers are offered at select Cafes for a limited time so guests can literally taste the world without needing a passport.
The 2025 competition is extra flavorful, thanks to the guidance of chef and influencer Olivia Tiedemann, who mentored participating chefs through the creative process. From fried cheesecake to pulled pork with plum jam, the results are both daring and delicious.
