Inspired by the brand's [Scorpion Burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scorpion-sting-wings) – its spiciest gourmet burger option – the new Scorpion Wings feature your choice of a scorching hot wet Scorpion sauce or a sweet-and-spicy Scorpion dry rub. To demonstrate just how hot these new wings are, Red Robin is giving guests a complimentary glass of what it's calling the 'Scorpion Antidote' (AKA: 1% milk) to cool down sizzling taste buds. As Red Robin's Executive Chef and VP of Culinary & Beverage [Innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-calabrian-pepperoni-sausage-pizza), Brian Sullivan, explains, "Red Robin is known for its innovative culinary creations and ability to put a unique twist on classics like burgers and wings, and we did just that with our latest menu items. This menu explores spice in many different forms."
