Smashburger Sweepstakes: Free Chicago Trip

First Smashburger expanded to the Middle East, and now it's giving out a free trip to Chicago. Talk about good publicity.

Customers who visit a Smashburger through Oct. 30 will receive a validation code to register for the contest. One person wins airfare for two, a two-night stay in a hotel, and $1,000 in cash to spend on deep-dish and steak.

This is, of course, to promote the national release of Smashburger's Windy City burger, topped with Cheddar cheese, haystack onions, lettuce, tomato, and spicy mustard on a pretzel roll. The usually Chicago-only burgers are available at all Smashburger locations for a limited time.
