This weekend is abuzz with eating and drinking events throughout the area. Please visit some or all of these events for the betterment of your outlook and the worsening of your liver.
SUSHI-FEST: (scroll down to middle of page) The Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce host the 3rd annual Sushi Fest at Mikuni’s in Elk Grove. Event is an “all-day” sushi feast, but website lists hours as only noon-3PM. $75
LODI ZINFEST: Noon-8PM at Lodi lake park, the 2nd annual Zinfest will include live entertainment, cooking demos, wine shopping and, of course, wine tasting for $25 per person. Nothing like being stuck in Lodi with about 100 cases of Zin.
WESTCOAST BREWFEST: At Miller Park (west end of Broadway), $30 for 5 hrs of food, fun and unlimited beer tasting, including my favorite, Moose Drool beer from the Big Sky brewery in Missoula, MT.
BFD: 3rd annual Dad’s Boil & Fry Day. This is where I’ll be on Saturday, supporting the Make-A-Wish foundation with the crew from Dad’s sandwich shop (best sandwiches in town), enjoying unlimited fried fish and crawfish boil with live punk and rockabilly bands and several great microbreweries. On S St. between 13th and 14th. $5 at the door or $25 for all you can eat! Dad is no wimp, he’s going 3PM to 2AM, so go get liquored up at the brewfest then join me for some charity loving fried goodness.
The Sac Rag 
As usual, your friendly neighborhood Stickie will be staffing the West Coast Brew Fest. This year, we have 50, count ’em, FIFTY breweries.
I’ll likely be at the gate, checking your ID. If you see a devistatingly handsome chap with a goatee and a Snowshow Brewing baseball cap, be sure to say howdy.

You missed out if you didn’t make it to the Dad’s BFD yesterday/last night. It was a refreshingly mixed crowd — midtown hipsters, roller derby girls, old neighborhood folks, preppy runner girls (OK, “girl” singular), and bands playing both original and classic blues-y/country/rockabilly tunes. The way to go is the all-you-can eat wristband. We gorged on chicken wings, bbqed corn on the cob, and crawfish before topping off the night at Rick’s Dessert Diner. The whole event was by far the best reward for a grueling day (in a good way) on the mountain trails.
