A unique foodie event is hitting Sacramento this Sunday, October 21 from 2-5 p.m. in Oak Park (3rd Ave. between 34th St. and Broadway). The inaugural “Ready, Set, Kids…Cookoff” is a competition pairing local student teams with renowned Sacramento chefs Noah Zonca of The Kitchen, John Bays of Red Rabbit and Patrick Mulvaney of Mulvaney’s B&L. Each of the student-chef teams will prepare meals for local celebrity judges.
The students participating have been involved in nutrition and entrepreneurship education at Hiram Johnson High School, Will C. Wood Middle School and Oak Ridge Elementary through the Fresh Producers program. The kids will be using their knowledge of nutrition to prepare selections for the judges using locally grown produce and products.
Although there won’t be enough of these select meals to go around, there will plenty of food trucks and other vendors to supply those in attendance with healthy food options and entertainment.
This is a free event for the public, so head on out and support area youth and this great cause.
Ready, Set, Go!

Behind-the-Scenes of a Food Photo Shoot with “Good Day Sacramento”
Have you ever wondered how professional food photo shoots work? Is the food real…or fake? How do they make it look so mouth-watering in the glossy food magazines? Is that really wine in the glass?
Wonder no more! Yesterday, the crew at “Good Day Sacramento” visited our offices where we were shooting a new series of recipe photography in our kitchen for our client, Mirassou Winery. Lucky for us, we had enlisted the real pros to help us make our recipe shoot as perfect as possible: photographer Keith Seaman and food stylist extraordinaire Patty Mastracco.
Check out the segment below for a peek behind the scenes!
Wordless Wednesday- Danny’s Mini Donuts
“Made Hot on the Spot!” The slogan doesn’t lie. I watched as the mini donuts were fried to perfection, then coated to order – chocolate, powdered sugar, glazed – you name it! It’s an easy stop on the way to the dozens of downtown offices. I brought in a variety and they were a hit, and, of course, great with coffee!
