Chicago Fire - Sacramento

2416 J St

The good Doctors of the Elk Grove persuasion have come up with a brilliant plan. They bring the kids early to the destination of the week, feed the kidlets and hang out with some of the Thursday early birds. Great plan!

As always, the pizza here is great. The happy hour photo you see is a $4 glass of wine and a $3 slice of combo pizza. The happy hour is pretty rad if you can't stay for dinner.

Jarla's House of Tacos

Undisclosed Carmichael Location

There were tacos, a mini-horse Great Dane and a new fuzzball cat. Oh and lots of drunks eating tacos. That's all I have to report. And booze.

Good talk.

Robot GoBen's High School Birthday Party

Undisclosed Sacramento Location

20+ years later, we decided to go back to high school for Ben's birthday. We dressed as our high school selves, eat ranch salad, pizza, soda and punch. This time the punch was extra boozy though.

LowBrau Bierhall

1050 20th Street
Sacramento, CA 95811
(916) 706-2636

A new take on the old fashion German beer hall, LowBrau modernizes it with a sense of humor. The inside is really nice with lots of whites, birch wood, highlights of gold, big communal wooden tables and great big lamps.

Because of the beer hall nature it is loud. The menu is simple with all house made sausages, duck fat fries and a few salads. I found that refreshing. Same with the how everything is done. You order a drink, then later your order a snack, then another beer...you are supposed to hang out and socialize.

We ran into friends, some showed up later, just a casual fun place with an incredible beer list and some great food! Definitely go check this place out.

El Novillero

Yup, we still love this place. Always spend the extra few bucks and get the flour tortilla chips. So tasty! Huge portions, delicious beans (don't ask why) large margaritas and kitschy decor.
