Official current page explicitly dates 2026 and describes new vegan options. Public roster present; do not mistake link to 2025 winners for current menu evidence.

The October 1–31 Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge now has 29 business entries on the organizer page and has started exposing menu links. Exact dishes still need venue-by-venue verification, so this is an actionable roster update rather than a finished dining shortlist.
October 1–31, 2026: participating Sacramento-area restaurants offer special vegan menus. The current organizer roster includes Kodaiko Ramen, Pho Fresh and Nectar Cafe. Exact 2026 dishes, prices and booking conditions need venue-level checks; this is a planning lead, not endorsement of every participant.
