Genghis Grill Adds Dr. Praeger’s Plant-Based Chick’n and Sausage to Menu

Fast casual chain Genghis Grill is partnering with Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods to add new plant-based proteins to its menu. Fans of Genghis Grill, which specializes in made-to-order stir fries, can now order Dr. Praeger’s gluten-free vegan chick’n or sausage in any bowl creation. 

“We are adding a whole new level of customization that is sure to delight”

Based in Dallas, TX, Genghis Grill operates over 50 locations across the US. The new partnership marks the chain’s first plant-based collaboration and expands its vegan-friendly menu options beyond the current tofu offering. In addition to inclusions, Dr. Praeger’s proteins are featured in two curated chef bowls:

  •  The Veggie Bowl (Plant-based chick’n, bell peppers, snap peas, corn, zucchini, squash, carrots, green onions, cauliflower rice, 3G sauce)
  • Plant-Powered Sausage Bowl (Plant-based sausage, mushrooms, onions, spinach, roasted garlic, teriyaki sauce, served with cauliflower or white rice)

Founded over 25 years ago, Dr. Praeger’s sells a range of frozen and chilled products including veggie burgers, sausages, nuggets, and breakfast dishes.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Genghis Grill, as it is clear they share a vision of providing fresh, nutritious options that are accessible and never compromise on flavor,” says Ken Krasnow, Chief Marketing Officer of Dr. Praeger’s. “The chef bowls are specifically crafted to highlight our premium products, inspiring even more people to explore just how delicious plant-based dishes can be. Vegan options are on the rise, and with Genghis Grill we are adding a whole new level of customization that is sure to delight.”
