I can summarize this post in four delicious words: Grilled. Cheese. Food. Truck. Enough said? Perhaps, but Drewski’s Hot Rod Kitchen (well, kitchen on wheels) isn’t serving up just any ol’ grilled cheese sandwiches.
From the “Hemi” with slow roasted pulled pork and mac ‘n’ cheese to the “Mustang” with Korean braised beef, kimchi and Sriracha aioli, and the simple but satisfying “Tricylcle” with Cheddar, Swiss and Havarti cheeses, it seems they offer a grilled cheese for every palate. Plus, for $3 you can also grab a satisfying (read: large portion size) side dish – we tried the Sweet Potato Fries and Drewski’s Famous Tots.
Now, this isn’t the first food truck to come to our neighborhood, and we’ve been following Sacramento’s food truck frenzy closely, but a grilled cheese food truck parked on our block will always be a welcome sight for this foodie.

News Bite: Yellowbill Bakery and Café Now Open
A new bakery and café has come to downtown Sacramento. The owners of Magpie Café and Caterers, a SacFoodies favorite, have recently opened Yellowbill Bakery and Café, offering house made baked goods and coffee and espresso drinks.
If their baked goods are anything like Magpie’s infamous cookies, I’m sure we’ll see downtown foodies flocking to Yellowbill.

California Farmstead Cheese Plate at Magpie Café, Sacramento
Oh, the beauty that is an artisan cheese plate. It can be an appetizer, a snack, or even (well, often, in my case) a meal in itself.
Although, the challenge when ordering a cheese plate while dining out is that you can never quite be sure what you’re going to get. A few small nibbles for 20 bucks? Quite possibly. More crostini than cheese? Fairly common.
On a recent visit to Magpie Café, a SacFoodies favorite, I was delighted to encounter the California Farmstead Cheese Plate. For what felt like a steal at $14, this cheese board is loaded with an assortment of locally produced cheeses served alongside crostini, dried dates, fresh figs and sliced pear.
Magpie’s menu is updated daily, and the California Farmstead Cheese Plate is no exception. On my last visit, cheeses included two of my personal favorites: Point Reyes Original Blue and their new Toma, a mild, firmer cheese. When I checked the menu a week later, the cheeses included selections from Bellwether Farms and Vella Cheese.
If you enjoy a good cheese plate as much as I do, this is a must-try.
