NCMEC: Grilling Burgers & Child Predators
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children believes it's important for families to have conversations about serious subjects like safety while doing something positive together -- like cooking. So, just in time for June (National Internet Safety Month), Red Robin Gourmet Burgers has teamed up with the center to produce a cookbook filled with kid-invented recipes and online safety tips.
The book, filled with more than 50 recipes, will be sold for $5 on Red Robin's Web site until Aug. 10 and profits will benefit NCMEC. Joey Yarwick, 12, of San Diego, Calif., was the grand prize winner of Red Robin's contest with his "Au Brie Burger a la Francais" (made with ground sirloin, brie cheese, au gratin potatoes, butter, cream, fresh rosemary, salt and pepper).
Maybe NCMEC should also pair up with the American Heart Association for a handbook to teach kids how to avoid burger-induced heart attacks and how to stay safe online.
