Knobs-n-Knockers

I must not make it down to Old Sacramento very often, because I had a Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge lunch today at a restaurant on Front Street that I didn't even know was there.

Knobs-n-Knockers, which has been open since last December, serves sausages, beer, and other German delights. The sandwich board in front of the restaurant lists the dishes they’re offering for the challenge, but they also have vegan options on their regular menu.

I thought about ordering the beet burger, but since it’s available all the time, I’ll have other opportunities to try it. Instead, I ordered the currywurst. This was a hearty vegan sausage covered with a tangy barbecue-type sauce and then topped with curry powder. You’ll definitely want to check out this restaurant the next time you’re in Old Sacramento!

Knobs-n-Knockers is located at 1023 Front Street, and their phone number is 916-321-9480. They don’t appear to have a website, but their Facebook page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/knobsknockersoldsac/. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Friday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
