The
long-awaited Solomon’s Delicatessen opened last week in downtown Sacramento. It
is named after the founder of the iconic Tower Records, Russ Solomon, and it is
housed in the space formerly occupied by Tower Records on K Street.
My husband
Phil and I stopped in for lunch on Monday. I was happy to see a few vegan items
clearly marked on the menu. The Vegan Portabella Reuben caught my eye – slices of
smoked portobello mushroom, shredded vegan cheese, sauerkraut, and sauce,
served on rye bread. I enjoyed the mix of flavors, and the horseradish in the
sauce gave it a nice little kick. The sandwich was accompanied by bagel chips
and a dill pickle spear.
I went back
again the next day to try the remaining vegan items. I ordered a bowl of hearty
mushroom barley soup, which was very flavorful and will be especially welcome
in the fall and winter.
I also asked
for an “Everything” bagel after confirming that all the bagels are vegan. The
vegan schmear I ordered with it turned out to be an excellent vegan cream
cheese.
