Stone Cold Tried Vegan Food For The First Time, And His Experience Was Gold

Stone Cold Steve Austin is a legendary professional wrestler best known for flipping people off, drinking beer, and taking down Donald Trump. He is a part of a lot millennial childhoods, as a generation of even casual wrestling fans remember the bald-headed, foul-mouthed redneck.

When you think about Stone Cold, you probably don’t immediately think, “vegan,” but his wife is actually vegetarian, and finally convinced him to try a vegan restaurant.

On  Austin’s most recent Broken Skull Ranch podcast he detailed his first vegan experience,and believe it or not, the “Texas Rattlesnake” actually enjoyed the meatless dinner. From buffalo cauliflower, to a “goatless” Greek salad, Austin said it was all “pretty got dang good.”

He detailed his dinner experience as only Stone Cold could, and it was pretty hilarious, as you can imagine.

For one, he didn’t know that there would be zero meat options at the vegan restaurant. I know you’re thinking why in the hell would he think they’d have meat? But his reasoning was reasonable. He thought since most standard restaurants have a few vegetarian options on the menu, a vegan would have a few meat options for non-vegans.

That’s not how veganism works, unfortunately.

Then came a dish suggestion with plantains, and Austin had no idea what a plantain was. In a panic, Austin used his WWE impromptu skills and told the waiter, dead in the eye:

“I’m a plantain activist, and I do not believe in the harming of plantains.”

As ridiculous as that sounds, Austin said the waiter actually apologized for even suggesting a plantain-based dish.

The former WWE Champion was clearly out of his element, but thankfully he found some IPAs at the bar that he enjoyed, and he was back in his comfort zone.

Stone Cold doesn’t seem to venture out much in the food and drink world, which was evident the first time he tried “girly” cocktails, but damn, it’s amazing when he does.

I could watch or listen to Austin experience new food all damn day, and that’s the bottom line…
