My husband
Phil and I had dinner tonight at the Porch, a restaurant that participates in
the Sacramento Vegan
Chef Challenge every year. This restaurant is also vegan-friendly
year-round, offering vegan options for brunch, lunch, and dinner.
The SVCC
menu was dated October 3rd – yesterday – so the food I had tonight
may not be on the menu whenever you decide to go, but I’m going to tell you
what I had anyhow!
For
starters, I ordered the sweet chili cauliflower, cornmeal fried cauliflower
florets in a sweet chili sauce. I thought this was an outstanding dish and I
hope they keep it on the menu forever!
For my main
course, I had the smoked tofu and beet meatballs. I know that sounds a little
odd, but it was actually pretty good. The three meatballs were served on a bed
of sautéed
Swiss chard and mashed potatoes.
I was way
too full for dessert, but I couldn’t pass up apple pie cake, and I’m really
glad I didn’t. It was basically a spice cake with creamy frosting, topped with
apple pie filling. Doesn’t get much better than that!
