I was so eager to get out and start sampling the vegan dishes local chefs are preparing for this year's Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge that I just couldn't wait for dinner. So I headed over to one of the few participating restaurants that offers special vegan items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner: Evan's Kitchen.
Chef Evan participated in last year's challenge too, and he's included vegan options on his menu ever since. I stop in for breakfast from time to time just so I can have his delicious vegan French toast. When I saw that the special breakfast item he was offering for this year's challenge was Rice Crispy French Toast with Strawberry Compote, I couldn't wait to try it.
I was not disappointed, to say the least. The toast had been dipped in a sweet vanilla-flavored batter, and then dredged in crisped rice cereal to give it a satisfying crunch. I usually want maple syrup on my French toast, but the strawberry compote was the perfect complement to this dish. I hope Chef Evan adds this item to the menu permanently!
