We were excited when Mayor Kevin Johnson officially proclaimed Sacramento America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital last year, and we just learned the city is hosting Farm-to-Fork Week in late September that I’m sure we’ll be blogging about more as details unfold. One aspect that we’re really excited about is that the week will conclude with a...

Today is National Clam Chowder Day, and to celebrate, Boudin Bakery is running a buy-one-get-one special for its classic clam chowder in a bread bowl. A little piece of trivia: Boudin is the creator of the Original San Francisco Sourdough and sells more than one million of its renowned clam chowder in a bread...

One of the things I love about winter is all the delicious citrus that is available. I can easily eat about five Cuties a day and there always seems to be an abundance of lemons and limes coming from friends’ trees. I especially love citrus desserts and previously shared a recipe for one my...

There are few culinary phenomenons quite like bacon. It has long surpassed being the sidekick to eggs and now has become a (much-deserved) star on its own, which is why we’re so excited about Bacon Fest coming to Sacramento January 20 -27.  Sponsored by the California Pork Producers Association, the eight-day Baconpalooza brings together...

On a recent trip to Philadelphia, I wandered into one of my favorite markets… the Reading Terminal Market.  There is so much to love about this place… gooey sticky buns from Beiler’s Bakery, a steamy hot cup of coffee from Old City Coffee or a delicious pastrami sandwich from Hershels East Side Deli. But...

We’ve been fans of Ten22 ever since they opened. Not only do they have great food and a relaxed atmosphere, but they are also supporters of several Sacramento non-profit organizations…which we love. On Sunday, September 30, 2012, Ten22 is helping the Southside Art Center celebrate 26 years of supporting adults with disabilities in Sacramento...

Since the SacFoodies 5th Anniversay Potluck was at my house this year, I needed a recipe that I could prepare in advance and not have to fret over. With the theme of “colors” for this year’s potluck, I chose green and the first recipe that popped into my head was Grasshopper Pie. It’s been...

(photo courtesy of flickr) It’s no secret that Whitey’s Jolly Kone has THE best shakes and freezes in the Sacramento area. Don’t believe me? Then read… This, This, And this. However, did you know that they are only open one Saturday a month? It’s a tragedy. It seems like my Whitey’s craving usually hits...
