Veggie Grill’s test kitchens have been heating up lately… and now, the L.A. family of restaurants is about to unveil some ground-breaking new menu items.  Veggie Grill, a restaurant chain throughout Calif., who’s mission it is to create 100 percent plant based food.  Highlights of the Veggie Grill and their mission to feed every type of appetite without serving meat is going strong. With the recent launch of their new menu items, this chain is raising to new levels of vegan dining.  These dishes are so much like the really thing they leave you saying, “You’re Kidding Me!” Created for every appetite in mind Veggie Grill¹s menu and new menu items really cater to the masses.

 Among the new options:

Home-style plates (think: Fried Chickin’ & mashed cauliflower-potatoes with porcini mushroom gravy, rosemary and steamin’ kale)—This dish is off the charts and you cannot believe the mashed cauliflower potatoes made with no potatoes or dairy and all cauliflower.

 Buffalo Bomber (the best new hangover cure)-  This was one of our favorites and tastes delicious- You cannot believe it is all vegan.

“Crab” Cake Sandwich (there’s nothing crabby about it).- Probably our favorite dish as it tastes so much like crab and is brought in and made by a lady in Missouri from her secret recipe.  WOW!

 

VEGGIE GRILL ADDS EXCITING NEW MENU ITEMS TO ITS LINE-UP

 

Southern California Locations to Add New Homestyle Plates and Sandwiches

 

Santa Monica, CA (April 4, 2012) — Popular for their delicious and convenient food, Veggie Grill is excited to announce the addition of eight new menu items.  All Southern California locations now offer a variety of homestyle plates as well as additional sandwich, salad, and dessert options. Often, diners who taste Veggie Grill for the first time exclaim, “You’re kidding me!” when they find out that the food is 100 percent plant-based.  

 

“As our brand continues to expand, we want to make sure our menu stays innovative,” said Greg Dollarhyde, CEO of Veggie Grill. “We’re passionate about what we eat and we strive to offer our guests creative, yet familiar food with a wholesome twist. So far, we are getting a fantastic response.”

 

 

 Veggie Grill’s commitment to delivering exciting food that fits the lifestyle of their guests inspired a menu of homestyle plates. These new hearty “knife and fork” entreés are meant to appeal to a dinner audience. The Crispy Chickin’ Plate features fried chickin’, cauliflower mashed potatoes, porcini mushroom gravy with fresh rosemary and steamin’ kale on the side.  The Blackened Chickin’ Plate is served with a refreshing papaya salsa, steamin’ kale, and quinoa pilaf.  The Urban Plate is the brand’s new gluten-free option, featuring blackened tempeh, caramelized onion and portobello mushroom in a stack with steamin’ kale and tomato and avocado salad. 

Veggie Grill delved even deeper and developed a series of new sandwich options.  The Buffalo Bomber sandwich features the famous crispy chickin’ tossed with spicy Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, tomato and red onion.  Next is the Crab Cake sandwich with crispy “crab” cake, tangy tartar sauce, pickles, tomato, lettuce, and red onion.  Taking a cue from South of the border, VG Rollers offer blackened chickin’, cabbage, creamy Santa Fe spread and tomato salsa rolled in grilled flour tortillas, and served with salsa and chili. The newest entreé salad option is the B-Wing Salad, which features the restaurant’s tasty Buffalo wings over lettuce, avocado, celery, roasted corn salsa and cool ranch dressing.

Veggie Grill again proves that great desserts can be dairy-free with its new Chocolate Pudding Parfait:  made from scratch, topped with chocolate sauce, crushed cookies, walnuts and VG crema.
