Daily Dining News: Squeeze Inn West Sac Opens Today

Logo6[1]

The wait is over. Those looking for a short trip to Squeeze Inn from The Grid can start swarming the West Sac location on Harbor, reports Mark Anderson in Sac Biz Journal.

The tiny old location is long gone, but the burgers live on at three locations. The new West Sacramento restaurant coming on tap this week will be the fourth Squeeze Inn and it will, of course, be offering the “squeeze with cheese."

The Squeeze Inn got massive media attention when an accessibility lawsuit threatened the business several years ago. It also scored national attention with spike-haired celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”

The newest Squeeze Inn is a pretty good sized space just north of the entrance to the Port of West Sacramento. It had formerly been the South Port Coffee Co. and Cafe.

I'm told this was the brainchild of the sous chef, Thomas Daily. Watch for that name because I hear he is quite a talent. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.
