Are you a regular patron of Sandra Dee’s, because the food is just that good? If so, you may want to seriously consider checking out the Verge Center for the Arts on Thursday night. Verge is hosting a night of entertainment inspired by Southern cuisine and culture. Local chef Jaymes Luu of Fat Face is creating the Southern-themed menu, which will include: mesquite-smoked Bledsoe pork shoulder, cabbage green bean slaw, Andouille sausage jambalaya and babydoll watermelon salad. And if meat just doesn’t cut it for you, don’t fret! Veggie options will be available! Verge movie night co-curator Becky Grunewald will host 90 minutes of short films on Southern eats, like “Eat or We Both Starve,” a documentary on Mississippi’s Taylor Grocery, supposedly one of the best catfish joints in the South. If this sounds like your idea of a good time, buy your tickets at Brownpapertickets.com. Space is limited; remaining tickets will be sold at the door. Doors open with cocktails and live music at 6:30 p.m. The Verge is located on 625 S Street in downtown Sacramento.
