Dining News: Red Rabbit to Contribute to new East Sac Brewery
July 25, 2013
Red Rabbit joining forces with a new brewery to be located on Antique Row in East Sac (near Evan's Kitchen), reports the Sac Bee's Blair Anthony Robertson.
Mayugba, bartender Matt Nurge and chef John Bays are new partners in Twelve Rounds Brewing Co., which is expected to open in September on 57th Street in East Sacramento (AKA Antique Row). Daniel Murphy and wife Elle Murphy mapped out the business plan and set the brewery in motion, but they realized they needed more expertise on the food side of their business, which will feature a full kitchen and restaurant program.
"They had this idea to open a place and they needed someone to run the kitchen, but they didn't know how to get it done," Mayugba told me. "We had this really good meeting and I really like what they are doing. I love everything they stand for."

Back Wine Bar & Bistro: Eclectic, upscale—and unfocused - In the end, the food is hit-and-miss, with the misses being forgettable rather than poor (minus the soufflé). A little refinery needs to happen to make the food at Back unique enough for the average Sacramento diner to find it worth the trip, but for the Folsom diner who feels Grange Restaurant & Bar is too far, Back will do right enough. A major plus is that wine is also served by the half-glass, a far too-ignored practice in many other restaurants, and I applaud Back for having the balls to do it. Garett McCord on Sac News & Review.
Where to go for good Chinese dining? Lotus 8 - On two visits, two different lunch pals and I tasted a number of dishes, all of them four-star. "This is the best orange chicken I've ever had," one of them said. Agreed. Another lunch pal, veteran diner Greg Jung, who is Chinese American, said quietly, "It's one of maybe five authentic Chinese restaurants in Sacramento." Allen Pierleoni in the Sac Bee.
