Chow!

No, I didn't spell it wrong. SN&R's "Annual Guide to All Things Edible" came out last week. The reviews of the restaurants are rather generic, but there are some ads in there worth pointing out.

Piatti (571 Pavilions) - 1/2 priced wine list on Wednesdays

Capitol Dawg (20th & Capitol) - $2 Tuesdays, $2 selected bottled beer, $2 2 scoop Dreyer's ice cream

Hangar 17 (S & 17th) - Happy Hour M-F 3-6pm - $2 Wells, Domestics and selected Wine. A word about Hangar: why oh why do they change their happy hour so much?? We can't keep up!

Sandra Dee's (15th & F) - Wednesday all you can eat catfish nuggets for $13, Wine Down Wednesdays 4pm-close: All beer and wine $2 (with purchase of food only)

The Melting Pot (15th & H) - Weekdays 4:30pm-7pm - Food, wine and cocktail specials (if anyone gets details please let us know)

Brickside (106 J Street - yes, Old Sac) - M-F 3-6pm - $2 Sliders, $3 wells. All day everyday $2.50 PBR and $3.50 Sangria

Megami Sushi (10th between J & K) - Stimulus Fridays - 10% off your bill every Friday

Hawks (5530 Douglas Blvd in Granite Bay -- yes, I said Granite Bay) - Happy Hour 3-6pm - $4 small plates, Grey Goose Martinis for $6. Yes, I put Hawks in here for a reason. Even though it's Granite Bay it's supposed to be one of the best restaurants in the area.

If you managed to pick up the issue before last Thursday (sorry, I'm a little late) there are tons of coupons in here too!
