You just got off from riding Radiator Springs Racers and you’re hungry. What’s the first thing you see? Flo’s V8 Cafe. You could grab scrambled eggs off their great breakfast menu or maybe Flo’s Famous Fried Chicken for lunch, which is super delicious. But maybe you want something a little lighter because Cozy Cone has tons of fun snacks you want later. Bring on the vegetarian options!

Flo’s V-8 Café Veggie Tater Casserole

Flo’s V8 Cafe has a vegetarian and vegan option for those who has a preferred diet, but there’s one dish that’s no longer on the menu that surely missed. This vegetarian dish gives a whole new spin to roasted veggies. The Veggie Tater Bake Casserole is luckily super easy to make at home. When you add cheese, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables together, you can make even the non-vegetable lovers like this meal especially when paired with a side of fresh fruit!
