We’re in the
home stretch for this year’s Sacramento Vegan Chef
Challenge, and there are still several restaurants I haven’t visited. So
this afternoon, my husband Phil and I took a drive to Fair Oaks Village for
lunch at the always vegan-friendly Wild Rooster Bistro.
There are
six fabulous-sounding dishes on Wild Rooster Bistro’s special menu, which made deciding
among them very difficult. Sopes, chile relleno, cochinita pibil, chile verde,
tacos, mole – what to choose, what to choose? So far during this year’s
challenge, I’ve had chile relleno at El Papagayo, tacos at Golden Road Brewing
and Crocker Café, and mole at Mayahuel, so I decided to try the sopes de
picadillo at Wild Rooster Bistro.
Sopes are
very thick corn tortillas that serve as the base for various toppings. In this
case, the toppings were shredded soy in a house-made marinade, potatoes in red
sauce, refried beans, lettuce, vegan sour cream and queso fresco, and pico de
gallo. I loved the flavors in this creative dish, which was served with rice and
refried beans.
I was much
too full for dessert, but couldn’t say no to the walnut pudding everyone has
been talking about on Facebook and Instagram. I don’t even know how to describe
this delicious pudding, which was sweet, but not too sweet, had the texture of
gelatin, but obviously wasn’t gelatin, and was completely full of walnuts. It was
a very large helping, so Phil and I shared it, and we both really liked it.
