Mulvaney’s B&L

by Jon Schuller

Some dining experiences involve great food. Others, impeccable service. There are those with charming décor and nuanced detail, inventive menus and effortlessly executed panache. And then there are some that do it all. And do it well. Sacramento’s Zagat-rated Mulvaney’s B&L is just that place. My SacFoodies cohort Liz Conant has written about this local [...]

A Culinary Surprise

by Vanessa Smith

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 Jon Schuller

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. [...]

Rivers Edge Café, Sacramento – and a Giveaway!

by Kris Caputo Hurley

Stuffed hash browns. It doesn’t get any better than this, people. It was the one item that caught my attention on the Rivers Edge website when the SacFoodies review request came through.  And it’s the dish that stands out as the best thing I tasted at this hidden gem. Everything was great, actually, but perfectly [...]

Barwest Burgers & Wings, Sacramento

by Jon Schuller

How many times have you uttered that storied incantation: “I wish this speakeasy was more like a beach bar.” Probably more than you can count. Well, Prohibition-era Surfer, the wait is over. Barwest Burgers & Wings is gearing up for a grand opening this Thursday, August 18. I had the chance to check out the [...]

Patio Happy Hours, Perfect for Hot Summer Nights

by Caitlin Wallace

I love summer. For the people of the Sacramento Valley, June, July and August are marked with thermometers reaching 80 degrees at dawn, afternoon swimming and air-conditioners running on high well into the evening. The upside to this hot, hot heat is that the evenings here in Sacramento can be the perfect time to relax [...]

Bad Dog! Taqueria, Atlanta

by Vanessa Smith

On a recent trip to Atlanta, a friend introduced me to Bad Dog! taqueria near Emory University. With its long bar and exposed brick walls, this taqueria is the perfect casual spot for grabbing a bite while studying, socializing or just plain scarffing. For $2.99 each, we had our pick from nine delicious taco combinations, [...]

In a pinch for a pie? Try TreyBcakes.

by Kris Caputo Hurley

I admit it, I cheated. We were supposed to make a recipe from scratch for the 3rd annual SacFoodies potluck. I had full intensions of baking the apple pie when I signed up on the kitchen white board. What’s more all-American the apple pie, right?  I thought I was brilliant. But the potluck was on [...]
