Vegan Hot Wings at Slider Inn

Slider Inn — a Memphis mini burger joint with a giant patio — just got EVEN MORE vegan-friendly! They've long served homemade vegan burger sliders and falafel sliders (which are vegan if you order without the yogurt sauce). But they're now serving Vegan Hot Wings!!


They're not on the menu yet, so if you stop by and don't see them in print, don't fret. Memphis vegans (and veg-curious folks) have been ordering them like hot cakes since they announced the new off-menu item on social media a few weeks ago. Slider secretly served these long before the social announcement, but now it's official. We had our Memphis Vegan Drinks meet-up there last night, and I finally got a chance to order some myself!

The wings are made with both cauliflower and tofu, so an order of 6 pieces ($4.99) will include 3 cauliflower and 3 tofu. You can also order a 12-piece if you're really hungry (or sharing with a friend). They're served with house-made vegan ranch. Add fries for $2! Slider has some amazing fries. Just note that the fries are always served with ketchup and mayo for dipping, but the mayo isn't vegan.

Slider is also home to the Memphis-famous Jameson Slushie! It's exactly what it sounds like, a slushie made with Jameson Irish Whiskey.


I'm not usually into super-sweet cocktails, but you can taste the alcohol in this one so it's not sickeningly sweet. Tastes like patio weather!
