I met up
with a vegan friend, Amanda, for lunch today. Many of the restaurants
participating in the Sacramento
Vegan Chef Challenge are closed on Monday, so we were happy to discover
that Golden Road Brewing was open.
Unfortunately,
they were out of most of their vegetables, and the produce truck wasn’t due to
arrive until mid-afternoon. This meant they were out of the ingredients they
needed for all of their salads, the avocado fries, and the dish they had
created specifically for the challenge – artichoke buffalo wings.
Not to
worry, though – Golden Road Brewing has several vegan options on their regular
menu, and Amanda and I had no trouble choosing a few dishes to share. The
veganized asada fries were topped with soyrizo, Heidi Ho cheese, guacamole, and
pico de gallo. If you order this, bring a big appetite: it is a huge plate of
fries, and even with two of us working on it, we couldn’t finish the whole
thing.
The drunken
zucchini tacos may have been my favorite of the three dishes we ordered. Small corn tortillas were filled with beer-battered fried zucchini, grilled
corn, roasted pimientos, cilantro, and salsa. Loved the fried zucchini!
The buffalo
cauliflower was also fried in a beer batter and served with a dill ranch sauce.
These spicy cauliflower bites were very tasty.
