Dad's Kitchen, a Land Park favorite for brunch, is always crowded on the weekends. But they've seen our hung over annoyed looks and are expanding, reports Karen Wilkinson in Sac Press.

Dad's Kitchen recently broke ground on a 30-tap room that will double as a waiting room, with space for single diners to sit.

"There's nothing really like it in town," said Peix, who through his nearly 10 years as a national sales rep for Anchor Brewing, has made a few friends in the industry.

At nearly 1,000 square feet, the tap room will have 10 stools at the bar, with room for people to order appetizers and enjoy a pre-meal beer, cider, or glass of wine. Peix didn't want the space photographed while under construction, but its entrance is visible once you step foot inside. The room will have another entryway that leads to the back patio – an ideal dining environment when the temperatures warm up – that is separated by a roll-up door (similar to a one-car garage door).

The co-owner of Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates isn't going to be squeezed for too much longer.

Counter Culture: A visit to Noodles & Co. - Pulled into the crowded parking lot of the vintage Loehmann's Plaza the other day and walked by a lineup of chain restaurants, including Jack's Urban Eats. It plans to move into the much bigger space – now under renovation – vacated by Scott's Seafood Grill on June 18. Just an FYI. Met two lunch pals at Noodles & Company, whose service style is known as "fast-casual" in restaurant-speak. That means you order at a counter, and the food is delivered to your table. The chain has about 300 outlets across the nation. Allen Pierleoni in the Sac Bee.
