Eating At Kabob Palace Friday - Really!

Okay, this Friday the South Sac crew will finally head down to Elk Grove and eat at Kabob Palace, as was our intention last week.  It's at 9620 Bruceville Rd, Suite 104.  The menu is here.  No, the picture above has nothing to do with the restaurant, but it's public domain!

Sac County Citizens Academy - Indoctrination of the Masses?

Your Sacramento County government offers something called the Citizens Academy.  Is this some kind of Commie re-education camp?  The County's mission is to provide "information and resources," "mutual learning," "critical analysis of issues," and "exchange of ideas and perspectives."  A mutual exchange of ideas?  Seriously?  In my experience, the government's attitude is "my way, or the highway" and "resistance is futile." 

Interested spring-butts and ass kissers may volunteer to attend the 10 week propaganda session and become indoctrinated about the criminal justice system by participating in touchy-feely stuff like diversity and race issues.  Here are the classes: Multicultural Sensitivity in the Criminal Justice System; Race as a Factor in the Criminal Justice System; and Perceptions of Disparate Treatment in the Criminal Justice System.

Check the county website for more Citizens Academy Information and the brochure.   

Roma II Pizzeria: Pizza - It's What's For Dinner!

So due to complaints last Friday that the South Sac crew was not in fact going to eat in South Sac, but in Elk Grove, we relented to the immense pressure and went to a South Sac icon: Romas.  Roma II Pizzeria, located at 8491 Folsom Blvd Sacramento, has many loyal and dedicated customers, as you can tell from the yelp reviews.  It's in a strip mall as you drive on Folsom from Power Inn/Howe towards Watt. 

Romas is a traditional "old school" Italian pizzeria featuring different pastas, salads, subs, and of course, pizza!  Everytime I make up my mind to go there, I say to myself that I will order one of the pasta dishes, because I have seen other people eating them and they look sooo good.  However once inside, I can't resist, and get a pizza. 

We got there early Friday evening and the place was packed.  Still we only had to wait about 5-10 minutes and were seated in a booth.  I had the supreme pizza and the house salad, and while I was there I was able to steal one of Roma's meatballs from a crew member's plate. 

A pizza here is completely different from a Pizza Hut pan pizza - which to me tastes like the pan pizza at BJ's  Both of those are delicious, but a Roma's pizza is old school.  I find the crust to be more thick than thin.  It is filling.  I pride myself on having the ability to eat 3/4 of a large pizza at one sitting, but a few slices of a Roma's pizza will start getting you full.  After my salad, I was only able to throw down three slices.   By the way, the house salad was a simple tossed garden salad, but the addition of thin sliced salami makes me order it everytime I return.  

The meatball side dish one of the crew ordered was cooked in Roma's thick tomato marinara sauce.  The meatball I had was huge, moist and had that bread crumb taste that good meatballs have.  That's why next time I have decided that I will definitely order one of the pasta dishes and I shall report again. 

Take The Survey To Improve Mack

The Mack Road Partnership is asking people to take a survey to improve the area around Mack Road in South Sac.  For instance, why do you go there, or why would you go there? What do you want to see there?  Who knows what the end result will be, but if you ask me, taking the survey is like voting: you can't complain about who is elected unless you bother to vote.

The Mack Road Partnership is a Property based Business Improvement District that was approved by the Sacramento City Council.  It is interested in improving safety and security along Mack Road, and encouraging economic development, marketing, advocacy and beautification projects.

Get involved and take the survey.

Heading Over to Kabob Palace on Friday

As regular readers know, the South Sac crew heads out to dinner Friday nights to sample local cuisine.  We have a regular circuit, but are looking to expand it.  This Friday we have decided to venture down to Elk Grove to try out Kabob Palace. 

Kabob Palace used to be on Franklin but has moved to 9620 Bruceville Road - by the Kohls and across the street from the plaza where the Nugget is located.

Here is the menu, and I'm looking forward to the Baklava for desert.

New Walmart Will be Hiring in Elk Grove

By now you know that a new Walmart will be opening in Elk Grove and that means jobs for the region including South Sac.  Submit your application online here.  Read about the new Walmart here. 

Personally, I love Walmart.  When I enter one I can't leave without buying something.  I do like the one here in South Sac on Florin but it doesn't seem to be a super duper Walmart as big as the one by Ikea in West Sac or the one in Dixon.  I like to know where the Walmarts are located when I travel, too.  When I'm staying somewhere for business or on vacation the local Walmart is the place to go for food, extra clothes, and of course drinks! Especially that Walmart now sells beer and wine.
