Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill, a premium fast-casual restaurant and lifestyle brand featuring an award-winning menu rooted in innovative and flavorful Mexican recipes made with natural, organic or local ingredients, has debuted a new Roasted Veggie Bowl featuring an array of fall’s most nutrient-rich and savory vegetables.

The dish is served with an organic quinoa and veggie mix, organic black beans and organic baby greens.
The Roasted Veggie Bowl is vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free and arrives in each of Sharky’s 25 restaurants in California and Oregon just in time for World Vegetarian Day on October 1.

More than 25 years ago, the founder of Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill, Steve Paperno, had a vision to combine the distinctive variety of flavors he experienced traveling through Mexico with innovative recipes and his passion for healthy living. In 1992, that vision became reality when he opened the first Sharky’s in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Today, Sharky’s has become a respected lifestyle franchise brand with 25 restaurants in California and Oregon and seeks to offer food with purpose and integrity, inspiring change and creating paths to a healthier, more sustainable world. Its “Feel Good About Eating” menu is rooted in fresh, natural, organic or locally sourced ingredients that are prepared with unique stone oven and mesquite-grilled cooking styles for enhanced flavor.
