Dining News: Grilled Cheese Sandwich 'Outstanding' at The Rind
September 10, 2013
By now, The Rind's developed a reputation for being a top notch destination for your wine and cheese needs. Every time I've been there, it's been busy, and each time, they've been better than the last.
Sac Mag's Kira O'Donnell paid them a visit and found many things to live.
I ordered a cheese board on a recent visit. It included Marcona almonds, a scrumptious cherry jam and three cheeses, including two from Sonoma County’s Bellwether Farms: creamy, buttery Carmody and Pepato, a semisoft sheep’s milk cheese made with feisty whole peppercorns. The third was Cowgirl Creamery’s Red Hawk, a bold triple-cream cheese with a beautiful red-orange rind. Other outstanding dishes included a salad of locally grown greens and beets and a crusty grilled cheese sandwich showcasing Fiscalini clothbound cheddar cheese, served with a vivacious roasted tomato soup that tasted deeply and satisfyingly of Sacramento summer.

Counter Culture: Bowling for lunch is right up our alley - We crossed the river into West Sacramento and found Cap’s Bar & Grill (“Where you can play with your food)”) inside Capitol Bowl. The stylishly renovated space is way smaller than Country Club, with 18 lanes and a mini-arcade, but with a focus on the restaurant-bar. The dining room is full of booths and tables, and a granite-topped counter surrounds the full bar...There were a couple of surprises: Owner Ross Amin uses seasonal organic produce from the West Sacramento farmers market whenever possible. And what were tender, juicy, marinated and skewered chunks of chicken breast (with basmati rice) doing hanging out in a bowling alley? Allen Pierleoni in the Sac Bee.
