Exclusive - Dining News: Plan B Restaurant to Replace Capitol Dawg
April 25, 2013
Plan B, a neighborhood favorite that moved from the Pocket to Arden, is planning to add a midtown location, Cowtown Eats has learned exclusively.
Currently located at Watt and Fair Oaks, the French restaurant has won rave reviews from people on Yelp and neighborhood diners alike.
In an interview on Thursday, owner Gregory says the midtown spot will be more casual than the Arden spot, and will feature both lunch and dinner. Initially, the restaurant will only have a beer and wine license, and it may expand its liquor license if warranted.
What the new restaurant's location looks like today.
If all goes according to plan, the new restaurant will open in late summer, replacing the now defunct Capitol Dawg at 20th & Capitol, next to Jack's Urban Eats. Initially, the menu will feature french onion soup, salads and sandwiches for lunch, and an expanded dinner menu.

It's Ranch-to-Fork at Roxy Restaurant & Bar - If you’re looking to sink your canines into some first-rate, locally raised beef, make a beeline to Roxy Restaurant & Bar, where owners Ron and Terri Gilliland offer steaks, braised short ribs and burgers sourced from their very own herd. In addition to operating this popular restaurant (and Roxy's sister, Lucca Restaurant & Bar in midtown), the Gillilands own Lucky Dog Ranch in Dixon, where their Angus cross cattle are raised on open pasture “from birth to harvest.” Kira O'Donnell in Sac Mag.From Farm To Chef To Your Fork - Sacramento’s chefs have a new secret weapon: Feeding Crane Farms. Now in its first full growing season, the small organic farm supplies produce to most of the city’s top restaurants, from Enotria to Ella. A for-profit, mixed-vegetable farm, it’s in North Natomas, just a handful of miles from downtown. The Sacramento region already has its fair share of boutique farms, including Soil Born Farms and Del Rio Botanical. As the new kid on the block, Feeding Crane had to find its own niche. So Shannin Stein, the farm’s general manager, talked with local chefs to see what the farm could grow for them. Marybeth Bizjak in Sac Mag.
The Neighborhood Chef - For East Sacramento residents, Formoli’s Bistro is simply a neighborhood restaurant. But what a neighborhood restaurant. It’s the kind of place where everything is made fresh from scratch; where the meat, fish and produce are sourced locally and seasonally; where diners receive an amuse-bouche when they sit down; and where even the burger is transcendent. All that is thanks to chef AIMAL FORMOLI. In 2008, he and wife Suzanne Ricci opened the restaurant in a J Street hole-in-the-wall with $75,000 they’d scraped together. Things were so tight, Formoli recalls, that on opening day he wrote a check for a chef’s coat—and it bounced. Marybeth Bizjak in Sac Mag.
World class, at last - Istanbul Bistro, a newcomer to the J Street strip mall that once housed Formoli’s Bistro and Vanilla Bean Bistro, has only been open for approximately two months. Turkish chef Murat Bozkurt and brother Ekrem co-own this paean to their homeland. The restaurant is open six days a week for lunch and dinner with Ekrem usually at the front of the house, infusing the small space with welcome cheer. He seats, serves and chats up the guests with unfailing warmth. He presents the menus with a flourish...The Bozkurts have clearly thrown their hearts into this venture, and the bistro radiates affection for their native cuisine and culture. It’s a place where you can feel like part of the family and pass around the generously sized plates of comforting food. Ann Martin Rolke in Sac News Review.
