Because it’s true. One night at Bangkok [...]

Jack’s Urban Eats, Terminal B, Sacramento International Airport

by

What usually comes to mind when you think of airport dining? If you’re like me, then the words “pre-packaged” or “generic” would be in there somewhere.

Mickey Mouse Cake

A Culinary Surprise

by

A good friend recently decided to mix up our regular monthly bunco-playing tradition by hosting our group of gals at Silva’s Sheldon Inn for dinner. The Elk Grove eatery, just five miles in from Hwy 99 on Grant Line Road, is dubbed as my friend Pam’s “favorite neighborhood dinner house.” Her description is a perfect [...]

Midtown Deli

by

Irony? Midtown Deli isn’t actually located in Midtown—at least not according to this Grid snob. But that’s OK. Because while the eatery sits perched caddy-corner to the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op at the tastefully gentrified intersection of Alhambra Boulevard and S Street, its no-frills, laid-back attitude still embodies some of the essentials of Midtown living.
