SVCC 2018 -- VEG

My friend Genevieve and I had lunch at VEG today. I always love going to VEG, since almost every item on the menu is vegan. This month, they also have special dishes for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge, so I was really excited to try their new creations.

There were many things to choose from, but the dish that sounded the best to me was the October VegFest, a “Beyond” bratwurst soaked in porter and then grilled. It was covered with maple mustard grain sauce, served over a bed of pan-fried new potatoes and thinly sliced Brussels sprouts, and topped with pickled cabbage. This dish usually includes onions, but I asked that they be omitted. I loved the mixture of flavors, and I really liked the sausage, even though I’m not usually a fan of vegan sausages. 

Genevieve and I shared a dessert – the pumpkin spice cheese cake, made from raw cashews. It was drizzled with fruit syrups, and it was very good. Always a great meal at VEG!
