In an effort to cater to consumers who don't eat meat, Red Robin has introduced a new vegan Cauliflower Wings option.
Though Red Robin's new dish is called Cauliflower Wings, the dish is really more 'bites' than chicken wings. The tasty new appetizer consists of bread bite-sized cauliflower pieces served on a bed of Yukon kettle chips with your choice of sauce. Available sauce options include Buzzard with Bleu Cheese Crumbles and Carrot Sticks, Whiskey River BBQ with Crispy Onion Straws, Banzai with Grilled Pineapple, or Island Heat with Grilled Pineapple and Fresh Jalapeño. There's also a no sauce option.
Red Robin's new Cauliflower Wings can be found at participating locations for just a limited time, while supplies last.
