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!

It's the Economy

There is a silver lining... apparently to drum up business in Sac, local restaurants and bars are throwing lots of deals our way. Here are a couple of highlights (please comment and add more--I'm sure I missed some!)

From Hoppy (please excuse the cut and paste):
* On weekends from 10:00am to 3:30pm, we feature a tasty
Brunch Menu with $5.00 top-shelf Bloody Mary's.
* On Sundays we feature the BEST deal in town, where we
include a bottle of Hoppy brew to go with every
Brunch/Lunch/Dinner entree purchased.
* On Sundays & Mondays we feature $0.99 children's meals
with an adult meal purchase.
* On Mondays we feature $3.50 pints & $12.00 pitchers all day
from when we open until we close.
* On Tuesdays we feature $2.00 tacos for dinner starting, and
at 10:00pm a quick session of trivia.
* On Wednesdays we have half price appetizers from 9:00-10:00pm,
and a South Park special with $3.50 pints & $12.00 pitchers
starting at 9:30pm with South Park at 10:00pm.
* On Saturdays we feature $2.50 pints when you wear your Beer
Ambassador t-shirt.

Esquire Grill and Spataro: $20 3 Course Meal. Call the restaurants for resis and use the code "IEat" to score the deal. (both menus look fabulous)

Masullo Pizza: Wine for 1/2 off per bottle (this is apparently only on Mon & Tues and only through March, can somebody who knows better add some details please?)

See--there's some benefit to the financial meltdown... right?
