If you’ve done any exploring in Sacramento’s picturesque Midtown, we can pretty much guarantee that you’ve spotted the California bistro Paragary’s. Nestled on the corner of 28th and N, you’ll enter a warm and inviting space filled with a staff that has an attention for detail. The restaurant has been a staple of the Sacramento food scene since 1983 and re-opened in June 2015 after a remodel.
SacFoodies was given the opportunity to join other Sacramento influencers to taste Paragary’s current seasonal menu of pizzas, cocktails, desserts and so much more. Their menu is designed to showcase the different bounties available in Sacramento at any time of year. So what you’ll enjoy in the winter will be completely different than what you’ll find in the summer.

Toffee from McFaddy Candy Co.
“Would you like to sample some handmade toffee?” Now, there’s an offer we can’t refuse.
When Katherine Ellis, owner of McFaddy Candy Co. offered the SacFoodies a sampling of her handmade toffee, we gladly accepted – and we’re glad we did. Among custom/seasonal flavors (such as Pecan Pie), she offers Salted, Himalyayn Dark, Hawaiian Macadamia Nut, Strawberry Kiss and Matcha Green Tea toffee flavors.
‘Tis the season for indulgent treats and we can’t get enough of salty/sweet combinations these days, so toffee fits the bill (especially around 3pm).
If you’re looking for a small gift for a business associate or even a hostess gift, you can’t go wrong with a jar of handmade toffee.
