The burger that won Robinson Middle School student Donovan Duggins the title in last December's Red Robin Kids' Cook-off will be added to the restaurant's menu on Tuesday.

Donovan's "Mt. Vesuvius Burger," topped with crumbled blue cheese, bacon, provolone cheese and Lava Sauce, made by combining barbecue sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder and paprika, will be available nationwide through Sept. 11.

Donovan, whose picture will be featured on table signs throughout the company, gets to celebrate the addition with a private party and tasting on Tuesday night and says he'll probably continue using his gazillion dollars worth of Red Robin gift cards he won in his prize package toward the purchase of his own creation.

Wait. Shouldn't he get the burger for free whenever he wants it?

"Hey, yeah," he said with a laugh. "Maybe I should start a petition."

Wichita's Red Robin is in the Waterfront development at 9990 E. 13th St.
