Red Rabbit Kitchen & Bar, Sacramento

by SacFoodies

Red Rabbit Kitchen & Bar, most commonly referred to as simply ‘Red Rabbit,’ is a Midtown favorite and, until recently, I had only visited to check out the Happy Hour. But when a friend came to town last weekend, I was determined to take her to a place that was uniquely Sacramento—and Red Rabbit is just that.
We waited for our table by enjoying a few delicious cocktails available from the open and welcoming bar. I chose a Moscow Mule and my friend selected her standard Manhattan. Not only did the Moscow Mule quench my thirst, but it was served in a copper “old Dutch” style mug—which I loved.
The variety of options available for dinner made selecting our entrees difficult, but we decided to each get something different and share. I chose the Farro Risotto with fresh leeks and wild mushrooms, which was fresh, delicious and hearty. My dining partner chose the Shorty Melt, an outstanding sandwich with short rib meat that was cooked to perfection, and the melted cheddar paired with the Cajun remoulade left us both full and happy! With the weather slowly warming up in Sacramento, I know I’ll be back soon to enjoy the fantastic patio space.
If you’re looking for a unique dining environment with a contemporary and truly Sacramento vibe, be sure to check out Red Rabbit Kitchen & Bar.

“Ready, Set, Kids…Cookoff” This Sunday at Oak Park

by SacFoodies

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!
