This is an old post..but want to now add, 2013, that Akebono Japanese (in a strip mall on Freeport near Oto's Japanese Market) is a FABULOUS sushi and ramen spot. NO kidding.

Queen Sheba is outstanding...still, on Broadway.,

I did not like it. What was up with them pushing the NO button and then constantly saying they'd made a mistake. Don't push the NO button then.

It was schizophrenic for me...some great tastes were tossed out and mediocre ones saved. huh?

Seemed like everything decided beforehand.

Did not like it at all.

Open Table has a list of many that are serving that day. You are out by Rudy's Hideaway though...and we love it there. If you drive downtown..old town, Firehouse, would be a great choice.

I always get their Sweetbreads. yum

Any burger at Willie Burger on (off) Broadway

Good to know! We get there once in awhile.

Vientiane in West Sac for fantastic Laos/Thai food. Get the stuffed chicken wings. Cafe Rolle in East Sac! Guisti's in the Delta!

Scott's has gone downhill all over!

Fun to go to Kings Palace with a group...on Sunday's. We found going at 1 pm is the best time. We go sometimes as a group...message me if you want to go! melody4853@sbcglobal.net

WE ARE going this coming Sunday the 12th with a group of like-minded Sac peeps. I think 1 pm. but will let ya know if it changes. All Sacto chowhounds welcome.

Did I mention Vientiane in West Sac for absolutely fantastic Laos/Thai?? Get the stuffed chicken wings and the green papaya salad..and larb!

Oh...for dim sum, we like Kings Palace on Stockton. Other's love New Canton too. For great pazole...Alanzo's on Stockton!!

have not read the other posts...but for fish monger and real butcher shop...Taylor's Market on Freeport! Absolutely. I agree about Corti Bros. as well. Would help to know what area of town you will be living in. If it's Elk Grove...you are stuck with Raley's or Safeway...unless ya want to drive. BTW....how could I forget Food Co-op on Alhambra and S street!!! Great organic meats and fish...and all other stuff. Many many Asian markets in Sacramento!! We are short on Jewish Deli's...but Rolle's is a great French Bistro in East Sac. I like Massulo's for Pizza on Riverside or honestly..if you want neopolitan, hit Cafe Bernardo midtown, Paragary's Bar and Oven or even Spataro's. All have great neopolitan pizza. Chando's for tacos...Bombay for Indian....and Akebono II for great sushi and Ramen. For absolutely fabulous tasting vegan...Andy Ngyuen's on Broadway. In fact...Broadway has a ton of ethnic resto's...Ethiopian, Indian, Thai, Japanese..and Asian Market too. Don't miss the Sunday Farmer's Market under the Freeway! Huge! Flaming Grill for Burgers of ALL kinds.

Wasn't there a spot called Hillsdale Grill outside of Eugene..something like that?

Senthong's is closed, right?

What about Cindy's Place in dunsmuir?

I like em on saltines

watch Big Night and you'll know.

The calories!!!!!!!!!!! The made up Italian names. The calories. Not talking about that salad.

Hot wings, a side of Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing for dipping, and celery sticks. Spicy chili to go with it.

They have remodeled since the last time we were there. It is out in Rancho Cordova...off Hazel on Folsom Blvd. It looks much better and we had a really nice meal there on mother's day. The place was packed.

We will go back. It's not for the midtown crowd most likely...and we do enjoy the midtown restos, It's more of a family spot...although I did see a couple of romantic booths in the front. :)

Prime Rib was very tasty...nice salad, and very delish dessert. Service was excellent..BTW. Top Notch.

Next time...I'll have the lobster, which is their deal.

I use cheese grater for hard boiled eggs...for salads and such.

Really? That seems slower to me.

Is the print in newspaper okay for composting?

My german family would eat two potatoes per person! :) Thank you. I will make my own mayo.

Thanks!!

AMEN..."you didn't get fat from over-eating, you are over-eating because you are getting fat"...

quote by Taubes I think

After a recent heart attack scare, my cardiologist put me on the Paleo Plan. I am also running from a Diabetes II diagnosis. I love pasta....and grains..and beans..so didn't think I could do it. After 2 weeks...I feel so great that it is what keeps me motivated to continue. The added benefit? I am shedding pounds too!!

Finding grass fed beef difficult to cook to tender though..and I like my meat med rare at best. Also using squash as my new pasta!

no processed food on Paleo!

I couldn't watch it all..only tried because they said it was "all new format". It isn't. Just borrowed from other shows. Boring...irritating..like most Food TV shows.

Could someone help me figure out how many potatoes, how much mayo I need to have for this "project"? Thank you in advance!!

Also...any hints to your favorite ingredient that might kick it up a notch would be appreciated.
