Classic Sacramento Restaurants and Eateries to Try | Eater SF

"Sunflower has been turning out scrumptious, plant-based “nutburgers” since 1978, well before Impossible Burgers were a gleam in a venture capitalist’s eye. Many Sacramento chefs have tried to duplicate the texture and taste of the famous Sunflower nutburger, to mixed results. Some have almost mimicked the rich taste that the nuts lend, but no one yet has nailed the crispy-not-crumbly texture. The small cafe, with indoor and outdoor seating and exotic chickens roaming about, is perched atop a vertiginous parking lot and often slammed with locals and click-clacking spandex wearers who culminate a long cycle with a nutburger, nutburger patty melt, or nutty taco." - Becky Grunewald
