Bistro Michel: The happiest of happy hours
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Sacramento’s Downtown, Bistro Michel doles out French-inspired yumminess and one heck of a happy hour.

And the winner is… fusion cuisine
Anybody else out there catch Food Network’s “Next Food Network Star“? What I enjoyed most about this show was how positive the producers managed to keep it; the finale episode’s season recap featured only positive comments about each of the departed candidates, even the ones who literally couldn’t julienne a carrot (literally).
