Two of my favorite places and most of the drunks hadn't been to either so here we go!

PreFlite in their new place is pretty great. It's still dark as shit so photos don't play well. It's well priced for the area and the drinks are simple and strong. What else could you need. It's a damn Sacramento institution that can get away with making you walk down a urine stained alley. How can that be bad?!

Mother on the other hand is tiny and vegetarian but makes damn fine food, it just happens to not have meat. The chicken fried oyster mushrooms will make you want to slap your mama. What you see below is also the burrata over farro with plums. Stupid good. There were pastas, sandwiches, chili verde and many other options without a pasta Florentine, or frozen vegetable medley in sight! Being a vegetarian has never been so good.

With a western theme, a place like this wouldn't normally speak to us but after more than one person said the food was great and the cocktails were solid, we had to go.

It didn't disappoint. The three long rooms that made up Hamburger Mary's remain the same with the bar int the front but now the second room has a stage and the third is largely empty with a cornhole setup and a couple of video games.

Food was easy to order and very good. The fried mushrooms were downright delicious. Basically, if you're looking for a some affordable, good food and a solid beverage without much fuss, this is your place.

Rabble Rousing in Elk Grove

Undisclosed Elk Grove Location

Sometimes your favorite community organizer that you usually see on the front page of the New York Times being arrested while protesting for higher minimum wage comes home to visit his old friends. We miss you rabble rouser. The Good Doctors opened their house to kids and drunks with some delicious Mexican Food from Sol Mexican in Elk Grove for carnitas tacos and all the fixings. Creature comforts and beer in a paper bag.

So sometimes you drop your business card into one of those fishbowls while you're having a work lunch and then they call you and you won dinner for six! Winner, Winner, Noodle Dinner!

Thanks to Shooter for having business cards at the ready and inviting drunks to partake. They brought ALL the noodles and send us home with rice crispy treats that were so very tasty.

Then we retired to an undisclosed Rocklin location for house cocktails. Damn fine night!
