Streets of London 1804 J St., Sacramento I love to gorge myself with food 100 times more when I’m drunk as opposed to when I’m high. I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t get the munchies like that; however, after two beers I’m eating whatever I can get my hands on. That being said, [...] [...more]
Crest Theatre, Sacramento Sept. 20, 2008 Arriving 30 minutes before the show started, I was surprised to see almost every seat in the Crest Theatre taken. I love Musiq Soulchild, but almost every time I dropped his name to someone, they’d never heard of the R&B singing soul man. So, you can imagine me entering the splendor [...] [...more]
1226 20th St. Sacramento I know how hot dogs are made, but I forgot what I did yesterday, so I have no problem indulging in a true American favorite. Matter of fact, just thinking about the words “encased pork,” I envision a happy wiener dog wearing a chef’s hat. Me and hot dogs got no beef. Wow, [...] [...more]
Kasbah Lounge 2115 J St. SACRAMENTO Deciding upon a worthy and not-too-frequented dining spot around central Sacramento that featured ethnic eats was no easy task. There were a lot of worthy and affordable international restaurants, but many only open until 3 p.m. or 5 p.m., or only open on the weekends for dinner. But truly desiring delicious Moroccan [...] [...more]
By Corey Bloom corey@submergemag.com I’ve been waiting weeks for this one, often fighting cravings in fear of burning out on America’s crown jewel of ground beef and its accompanying deep fried golden strands of starch. Yes, friends, I’m talking about the cheeseburger and freedom fries. Say what you will, but few meals beat the comfort and subsequent [...] [...more]
427 Broadway Sacramento, California You could drive past Jamie’s Bar and Grill 100 times without realizing it was even there. Located at 427 Broadway, Jamie’s is not extravagant by any stretch of the word. Other than a green awning there isn’t a sign that would attract the eye, and without the large concentration of cars surrounding a [...] [...more]
Saturday, July 19, 2008 In case you were out of town, busy working or just plain not in the know, then you may have missed one of the freshest jams this summer. Starting mid-afternoon on the beautiful, sunny Saturday of July 19, beneath the spaciously shaded and covered 28th and B Street Skate Park in downtown [...] [...more]
2416 K St. SACRAMENTO, CA As I’ve mentioned before in this column, I’m a huge fan of taco trucks, and that same love extends to small “authentic”-feeling joints that sell forearm-sized burritos for $5.50. I don’t know if it’s a case of conditioning, because in college a trip to the taco truck also usually meant stocking up [...] [...more]
The Park Ultra Lounge, Sacramento Thursday, June 26, 2008 Suede Salon and Spa is becoming a cornerstone for the Sacramento fashion scene. On June 26 they hosted another show, adding to their runway resume. This time, the event took place at The Park Ultra Lounge in downtown Sac. Three of Sacramento’s most recognized designers were showcased, coupled [...] [...more]
Java Lounge, Sacramento Sunday, June 29, 2008 Sunday evenings for me are usually reserved for the couch, a six-pack and a movie. It’s like clockwork. So naturally I found myself in a bind when I learned there were some killer bands set to play at Javalounge last Sunday. It was indeed a tough decision, but ultimately I [...] [...more]
