The Viking State Champ Burger is Radius New Burger of Month!
Radius’ Chef Chris Pavlou believes a championship city deserves a championship hamburger! Today, you’ll discover why a burger called the Viking State Champ Burger has people from all over Northwest Indiana calling this burger a champion.
But don’t think for a moment that this burger is just another hamburger with a title. This hamburger was created by the entire Radius Team and uses a sauce so special, it was locked up in the Radius vault. It was on reserve for a special occasion. Well, sports fan…this is it! We can’t think of anything that warrants the premiere of this special sauce quite like a State Championship.
Oh yeah… they now have a name for the sauce, “The Viking Sauce.”

November’s New Hamburger Wednesday | Flaming Hot Cheetos Burger
Last month, we discovered the Flaming Hot Cheetos Burger. According to the blog, “Competition can bring out the best in anyone…and now it’s bringing out the best in the All-American Hamburger.”
The burger was the November nomination for the New Burger Wednesday Competition. In September, the burger was the Pimento Bacon Burger. Both burgers could earn top billing on most menus, but this is Radius. For the New Burger Wednesday Competition, only one burger will be named as the newest burger to make the 2023 Radius Menu.

The Valpo Viking Burger’s Story began at the Valpo State Championship Game
The idea for the Valpo Viking Burger began at the State Championship game in Indianapolis. Chris Pavlou and his family were sitting in a sea of green, cheering on the most improbable outcomes. Pavlou’s pride for Valpo was inspiring. He started envisioning what ingredients and flavors could capture the essence of this big game.
While Pavlou is known for his amazing pallet, a burger this significant would take the commitment of his entire team. Pavlou called his cooks, his managers, and even his hyper-creative marketing guy.
Ideas were discussed, and flavors were experimented with. According to Pavlou, a state championship will be talked about for years to come, and so must this burger. After painstaking attempts at perfection, they had their hamburger. After they found the burger that was worthy of a championship city, the Viking sauce was added. It was the perfect compliment to a remarkable hamburger.
