Canon WHY WE
IT: Because it’s Michelin quality to go.
In a few short years, Brad Cecchi has made his mark on Sacramento’s dining scene with his young East Sac restaurant Canon, which received a Michelin Bib Gourmand award in 2019—not quite a Michelin star, but not bad for a Sacramento newcomer. When you pack up elevated fare to go, it often loses something in the car ride between restaurant and home, but the talented Cecchi has mastered the art of making inventive fare that travels well. His Sunday-night prix-fixe dinners are particularly successful. The $35 meal, which changes weekly, includes a starter, entrée and dessert. It’s not your typical takeout: A recent dinner featured a stuffed pasilla pepper, beef cheek tacos on beet-juice tortillas, plancha potatoes and, for dessert, pumpkin mousse. 1719 34th St.; (916) 469-2433; canoneastsac.com
