Centro Turns Twenty
Centro Cocina Mexicana, a Sacramento staple, turns 20 this week and the restaurant is celebrating with a week of specials. Starting today and continuing through Sunday, August 17th, Centro will feature a commemorative anniversary menu and table-side guacamole preparation.
In addition to satisfying your appetite, no birthday celebration would be complete without some special drinks. Centro will feature $6 Anniversary Infusion Margaritas and $5 Centro Margaritas—which just so happened to be the price in 1994. You can also catch former Centro bartenders who will be returning on Tuesday and Wednesday to celebrate.
Born out of the desire to bring a new kind of Mexican cuisine to Sacramento, PRG Executive Chef Kurt Spataro and partner Randy Paragary opened Centro after an extensive culinary tour of Mexico. The Midtown restaurant, located on the corner of 28th and J Street, is known for its moles made from scratch, fresh corn tortillas, festive atmosphere, and fabulous Tequila infusions.
If you’ve never had the chance to make it to Centro, or if you’re due for a visit, be sure to swing by this week and wish them a Happy Birthday!

Wordless Wednesday: Farmer’s Market in Embrun, France
Sacramento Farmer's Market
By Stephanie Rudy
Did you know there are 12 farmer’s markets in the Sacramento area per week? While I wasn’t able to make it to all 12 last week, I was able to stop by an old favorite.
The
In addition to fruits and vegetables, the market offers eggs and milk from nearby farms, and even flowers from locals like Frank!
Garlic doesn’t come much cheaper, and the flowers don’t get much fresher.
Dried arrangements are perfect for sprucing up your outdoor kitchen and add flavor to any bottle of olive oil.
Leaving empty handed is almost impossible, and the experience is unforgettable. With 12 per week in our own backyard, finding a farmer’s market this summer is easier than ever! For a complete list, visit http://www.california-grown.com/Market-times.html.
Review: Sac Beer & Chili Festival
This past Saturday, I got to check out the Sacramento Beer & Chili Festival in Fremont Park. You can read more about this event on SacFoodies here.
After a whirlwind hour or two of beer and chili tasting, my favorites from the day were:
- Chili – Industry category: the spicy hot chili from Blackbird
- Chili – Individual category: the pork green chili from Piglets
- Beer: for me, nothing beats the first taste of Hell or High Watermelon from 21st Amendment Brewery every summer!
It looked like everyone was having a blast at this event on Saturday. If you missed it this year, there is always 2015!
