I had lunch
today at Backbone Café, a restaurant that’s new to the Sacramento Vegan Chef
Challenge. Backbone Café has a very eclectic menu, which is already pretty
vegan-friendly, so I was interested to see what special vegan dishes they’d
offer this month.
As it turns
out, the dish that I had today may not be the dish that you'll have if you decide
to go. Apparently, the chef changes things up every so often. But what I had
was fried cauliflower rice – diced cauliflower fried with celery, onion, chili
peppers, and garlic, then garnished with cilantro, lime, and salsa. I also
ordered vegan carnitas to go with it. The carnitas were made from shredded, seasoned
mushrooms. It was a very creative dish and quite tasty. It was also a little on
the spicy side, but not terribly so.
The other
special item they were serving today was a smoothie made with mango, banana,
pineapple, coconut milk, orange juice, lime, chlorella, and beet. Adding CBD
for an additional cost was also an option.
Backbone Café
