The Shack


5201 Folsom Blvd

It's been hotter than hell in Sacramento this week, and with all the wildfires, the air quality is awful. So, when Thursday rolled around, I wasn't totally excited about sitting outside for dinner even though the Shack is one of our favorite places for Thursday.

Then I got the email from Gary with the menu. Hawaiian. Complete with Ahi poke, Spam musubi, Kalua pork, pineapple fried rice - all grumpiness was gone!

If you've never been to one of their Thursday dinners, you are missing out. You show up, get settled down with a drink, listen to some great live music and wait till dinner is ready. It's a real neighborhood feel, but not snobby. Very kick back, dog and kid friendly. Eventually dinners ready and it's family/buffet style. And you will get dizzy looking and the wall of wine and beer choices.

A couple of us got there early, had drinks and played cards. By the time everyone else showed up we had moved outside and a nice breeze started. The food was terrific as always and we met a couple of fun people.

Journal Tidbit: German party is happening this weekend so outfits were discussed. Lederhosen was brought up as an option and that digressed into Thongerhosen. Yes - half thong/half hosen. Hand knitted of course.
