Fahrenheit 250 BBQ & the Birth of Mehera

7042 Folsom Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95826
(916) 476-4508

Mehera wanted meat for her birthday so she gets meat! Fahrenheit 250 is located in the old Bisla's building (or old Cattle Club, depending on your age reference), in the weird little building off the freeway, next to CSUS and sort of all by itself.

It just opened recently and is getting rave reviews for just damn good barbeque. Most of the drunks got sandwiches paired with a really good beer selection.

Mehera ordered the meat plate that came with two sides. She asked for mac n' cheese and the server asked what she wanted for her second side and she said "Another mac n' cheese!". Like a boss!

They have four different BBQ sauces, lean and fatty brisket choices and you can order corn muffins by the half dozen. Over all, top night!

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.

El Novillero

4216 Franklin Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95820
(916) 456-4287

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.

Heat Shabu Baru

2416 18th St, Ste E
Sacramento, CA 95818
(916) 930-9888

We love us some Shabu Shabu. Broth, raw meat and a pile of veggies - it's basically a Japanese fondue so it take a long time, it's social and it's delicious. There is one other place in town that does this so we had to try both!

And the verdict is that they are just different! Ambiance is better at Shabu Fondue, broths have more options at Heat, assortment of stuff is about the same. We really hope both places survive because they are a fun option to have around and pretty damn affordable for that amount of food you eat. We worry though, with the number of folks we see in both. Hang on Shabu places! You fill a much needed niche that we can't find outside of San Francisco!

If you haven't done Shabu before, please try it out. It's so yummy and such a fun time. They even let you pick more than one broth type if you just can't decide.

YD House

8979 Folsom Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95826
(916) 366-6698

I'm a Korean food newbie. I've always wanted to try it, but it seemed a little daunting to go by myself so we pulled in our friend John who loves the YD House to be our guide. First off, it's in a crappy strip mall off of Howe and Folsom. Which depending on your point of view could make it promising or not. I vote for promising!

The menu, which you can see below is pretty large with some challenging items and all sorts of non challenging options. This place is very small and there is only one server, so bring your patience and try to order all your stuff at one time just to speed things up. We thought she was perfectly nice, but I've heard differently from some.

I googled some of the booze while we were perusing the menu and ordered a few that sounded good. And they brought the whole bottle for the very reasonable price on the menu! Win! And the small sake-style glasses had lovely Korean ladies in the bottom - so that was fun.

With every order, you get a huge assortment of about 10-12 different little tidbits. Pickles, tofu, wee little whole fish. We didn't know what it all was, but we sure liked it!

We ordered way to much food from egg crepes to spicy pork & tofu soup, cold pork and much more. We really have to go back for the fried chicken as well. So many options! Take a nice group of friends and share everything...it's freaking delicious!

The Embers

5340 Auburn Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95841
(916) 334-6720

Girls were in Monterey. Three boys went to the Embers... They won't tell us any stories and there are no pictures. That's how a gentleman's club should be.
