"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 talentedCecchi has mastered the art of making inventive fare that travels well. His Sunday-night prix-fixe dinners are particularly successful."

"After earning a Michelin star two years in a row at Solbar in Calistoga, Sacramento native Brad Cecchi returned home in 2017 to open Canon, which describes itself as a "chef-driven neighborhood restaurant with creative and shareable fare.". Check their menu for their current dishes, most of which are small plates made for sharing. Among the chef's most popular creations are Urfa chile chicken drumsticks with orange zest and smoked beer-can chicken."
