TGI Fridays adds new 'Big AF Burgers' to menu

TGI Friday's is looking to beef up its menu with five new huge burgers the ice cream and restaurant chain says will help customers "go bigger." 

These "bigger-than-ever" dinner options are part of the new "Big AF Burgers" menu, which starts with a six-ounce seasoned patty. From there, each burger is topped with one of five signature TGI Friday's appetizers and served with a double portion of fries or Southwest Potato Twists. 

"As a brand that's built around helping our fans celebrate all of life's moments in a big way, we're thrilled to be bringing even more fun to the table with our Big AF Burgers," said Tiffany Wilburn, VP of Marketing at TGI Friday's.
