Usually a really great place to get a cheap slice of pizza and a stiff drink or beer. Unfortunately the World Series was happening. Not their best moment due to the plethora of baseball fans. Oh well.

Kolbeh Kabob
8700 Greenback Lane
Orangevale, CA 95662
(916) 990-0233
Persian food is magic. Delicious, flavorful and make great leftovers. We always start with Sahbzee which is flatbread, a pile of herbs, some feta and red onion. You butter some bread and pile it all on. So tasty!
They have lots of great stews and specialties but I always end up with the kabobs. Chicken koobidah is my favorite. Ground, spiced meats formed onto a kabob and served with rice and grilled tomatoes. Sprinkle the lemony Sumac on your rice and you are set!
They also brought us out a treat - the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot. Sometimes served with stew over the top, it is just a crunchy buttery treat.
This place is in a long forgotten strip mall in Orangevale, but some of the best Persian we've had in Sacramento. The staff are lovely and gracious. Check them out.

Masullo
2711 Riverside Blvd
Sacramento, CA 95818
(916) 443-8929
I can't really say more about Masullo. Search for it on this blog and you will read all the reviews from all the times we've been here.
So, just for you - a cornucopia of Creepy Baby Hand photos! Creepy Baby Hand came from a zombie wedding bouquet that I made once. It now travels with us every week. It likes to touch people.
And don't miss out on another classic Portrait by Naked Bob at the bottom of the page. This one is of Jessica. Just lovely.

Pour House
1910 Q Street
Sacramento, CA 95811
(916) 706-2465
Pour house is another place that is going the retro, prohibition style motif with hipster bartenders in vests and tattoos. The cocktails are good and the food is done by the folks that brought you Coast to Coast food truck. That is what brought us here.
We hit up the Roseville Food Truck night a while back and had the mac n' cheese from Coast to Coast and the Reuben. Damn, they were both delicious! The food at Pourhouse might be a tad on the pricey side, but being able to eat it with booze (that you didn't bring on your person) is a plus.
It's loud and fun inside and the clientele leans toward the younger, hipper Sacramentan. I would hit this place up for happy hour sometime and see if it's strikes your fancy. It struck ours and we'll be back.

Sizzle Mongolian BBQ
1230 Sunset Blvd
Rocklin, CA 95677
(916) 663-5672
What to say...what to say... Mongolian BBQ is a very unique thing to eat since you build it yourself and then they stir fry up your creation. All Mongolian is good, but some are better and this is one of the better ones. Better is usually because of more variety and extra fun toppings. Sizzle Mongolian has both. If you are in the area, check it out.

Hamburger Patties
1630 J Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 441-4240
Why did it take us so long to get back here? The wait staff are sassy fun and the food is solid. All the burgers and sandwiches were good, the fries were great and our server was kind enough to give us a dessert to share. It's sometimes tough to get in here with a large group but we did just fine with our 12+ people since the big table in the back was open.
We need to add this one back onto the once-yearly list. It's getting crowded on there.

Food Truck Round Up - Roseville
Downtown Roseville
Second Thursday of the Month
Yay for Roseville embracing some food trucks to help spice up downtown Roseville! It was a great showing of at least a few thousand people milling around with their families, dogs, friends and enjoying a great array of mobile food.
A lot of the Drunks hit up Chando's for some tacos. Some very good sandwiches and mac n' cheese at Coast to Coast. And dessert at the Volks Waffle. They had seating, lots of trash and recycling and live music.
We brought our own traveling booze and hit some bars afterwards. All and all a great idea for Roseville and a damn fine time.
