Tonight at The Shack
Tonight The Shack will be exploring the country that prides itself on culinary contributions to the civilized world. The country that gave you the french fry, chocolate, waffles, and some of the finest beers and cheese in the world. You guessed it – Belgium!
On the menu tonight (Thursday , July 31) will be:
Moules Frittes- Mussels and Frys, practically the national dish.
Belgian Endive Braised in Maredsous 8
Ginger and Port Lamb
Flemish Mushroom Pie- Wild mushrooms in puff pastry
Arugula Salad- with apples, almonds and dry Jack cheese in cherry champagne vinaigrette
House Smoked Sturgeon
Wild Boar Pate
Fresh Artisan Bread
Chocolate Truffles
The cost is $18 and the seating is limited so try to get here early if you can. We will be doing a tasting of 5 Belgian beers for $5.

Champagne Campaign
With everything that’s going on today surrounding the race for the White House, fellow SacFoodie Julie Ficker and I were thrilled to learn about a new campaign in town – the Champagne Campaign!
Thanks to BiteClub.com, we heard that R15 hosts the Champagne Campaign every Tuesday night starting at 9:00 PM at which time bottles of champagne are only $5 with a group of three or more.
The evening turned out to be a success – with delicious and affordable champagne, great company and a competitive game of pool to boot.
The Champagne Campaign definitely gets my vote!
Sacramento & Co Dining Deals
News10’s Sacramento & Company has been partnering with local restaurants to offer 50% off gift certificates for some time, and I finally gave it a shot. Actually, being inherently skeptical of deals that don’t present the “catch” upfront, I must admit it was my boyfriend who decided to give it a try. Needless to say, we received our $50 gift certificate and besides a $3.50 shipping fee there were no catches involved: the total came to $28.50 for a $50 certificate! I’m a bargain shopper through and through so will definitely be using this deal again to try local restaurants.
The current featured restaurant is Sushi Unlimited (despite its name it’s not one of those all-you-can-eat joints) and according to the News 10 Web site there are only 26 certificates left. There’re locations in Davis, Folsom and Roseville, and if you go I highly recommend the Reggae Man roll.
