(Last UPDATED 12/20/2020) Details on the chefs and restaurants participating in The Great Sacramento Vegan Burger Battle. Updated with the Overall First Place Winner!
Original Post
The Great Sacramento Vegan Burger Battle is being held June 1-June 30, so you have plenty of time to check out some the competing vegan burgers and side dishes.
First of all, you do not have to be vegan or a vegetarian to enjoy a vegan burger! I am neither vegan nor vegetarian – but I do plan to indulge.

Lastly, before you go check out the website link above to learn:
- how to vote and comment;
- the specific category/categories of burgers (impossible, etc.) each restaurant is competing in; and,
- the hours and days the restaurant will be serving its vegan burger.
I am going to check in with my friend Pam who blogs at Sacramento Vegan to see if she would like some company as she samples some of the competing burgers. Last year we had lunch together at The Rind during the 2017 Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge.

(9/20/2020) Interested in knowing who won last year? The overall First Place Winner of The Great Sacramento Vegan Burger Battle was Pho Fresh, a Vietnamese food restaurant located in Rancho Cordova.
The Big Eastern Burger is described as a garlic toasted sesame bun, giant panko portobello mushroom, soft cheese-like tofu, sauteed with red and yellow onion, fried beansprouts, spring mix and spicy house sauce for $11.95.
Pho Fresh reportedly did not have a burger on its menu prior to entering the Great Sacramento Vegan Burger Battle, but in response to demand it will serve the Big Eastern Burger during the first week of every month.
