Golden Corral Offers Hot New Flavors with New "Fired Up Favorites" Menu

RALEIGH, N.C., April 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Golden Corral^®, the nation's largest grill-buffet chain, is offering guests a buffet dining experience bursting with bold, spicy flavors on their new "Fired Up Favorites" menu.  Beginning on April 4, Golden Corral will be enhancing their dinner menu with these endless, flavorful items:

• NEW Sriracha Chicken Tenders
• NEW Mango Habanero, Garlic Parmesan, and Buffalo Wings
• BBQ and Honey Teriyaki Ribs

NEW Firecracker Shrimp and NEW Hickory Smoked Carved Sirloin will be added to the promotion on May 9.  The new Fired Up Favorites promotion will be available at all Golden Corral restaurants across the country through June 12.

The addition of the "Fired Up Favorites" menu capitalizes on current flavor trends by combining bold flavors with favorite items such as wings, ribs, shrimp, and sirloin.  According to the latest Flavor Consumer Trend Report published by research firm Technomic, a majority of respondents indicated they preferred spicy or hot sauces, dips or condiments.  Interest in bold flavors has notably increased over the past several years, as hot or spicy foods, including condiments, sauces and dips, appealed to 50% of consumers recently polled, compared to just 46% in 2009.

"Increasingly, restaurant guests are craving more robust flavors," said Golden Corral Vice President of National Marketing and Media Shelley Wolford. "We created the 'Fired Up Favorites' dinner menu to enhance our guests' buffet experience by adding trendy new flavors and high appeal items."
