It's not a particularly slow news day, and we're not shilling for Red Robin. We're just ultimately fascinated by food stuff that is based on or around movies, like the death on a black bun Darth Vader burger sold last year in conjunction with the release of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 3D (before Disney got a hold of the franchise). Now comes The Wolverine Berserker Burger, which is topped off with a brioche bun marked by Logan's signature adamantium claw marks. There might also be some of Logan's signature chest hair mixed in with the aioli. (What do you think makes it so zesty?)

Check out the pics and then read on for the official press release about this questionable meal awaiting you at the local mall, next to the Cinemaplex.

Red Robin today announced its action-packed kick-off to summer in conjunction with Twentieth Century Fox to get guests excited about the much-anticipated summer event movie, The Wolverine, in theaters July 26. The collaboration allows movie fans of all ages to experience the world of The Wolverine in a unique way, remixing the classic American passion for superheroes with epic offers that take "Dinner and a Movie" to a whole new level.

From now through June 30, guests can go "berserk" at Red Robin with a special Dinner and a Movie offer. Guests that purchase a $25 limited edition The Wolverine gift card at participating Red Robin restaurants will receive a free movie ticket to see the film when they enter their gift card code at www.redrobin.com/movietix.

To inspire moviegoers, Red Robin will reward any guest who sees The Wolverine during opening weekend* and brings their ticket stub into participating restaurants from Monday, July 29 to Thursday, August 1 with $3 off their visit.
