"Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood has become my favorite place to visit since joining the Inter Miami CF team," said Leo Messi, who can be seen strolling through the Hard Rock Cafe at the property in Hard Rock's "Come Together" spot. "My family loves to hang by the pool and of course grab my namesake Burger, Chicken Sandwich, and Kids Menu meals while we're there. I'm thrilled that some of my biggest fans will be able to have that same experience under the beautiful Florida sun and can see me and the team play, all while simply being part of the Unity by Hard Rock loyalty program."

While staying on-site at The Guitar Hotel in Hollywood, the winners (and Messi fans dining at Hard Rock locations around the world) can order Messi's signature dishes from the Hard Rock Cafe menu including the:

• Messi Burger: A double cheeseburger seasoned & seared medium-well, topped with provolone cheese, sliced chorizo, caramelized red onions, signature smoky sauce, with shredded lettuce and vine-ripened tomato, served on a toasted brioche bun. Diners can add a fried egg to it, the way Leo likes it.
• Messi Chicken Sandwich: A crispy Milanesa-style chicken breast topped with melted provolone cheese, herbed aioli, fresh arugula and tomatoes, served on a toasted artisan bun. This dish is reminiscent of one of Messi's favorite Argentinian meals growing up.
