Get yourself over to Starbucks. Today–and today only–they are giving away one free pastry when you buy a drink. And yes, the marshmallow rice crispy treats count, too!

Coming Soon…”Real” Diabetes
In lieu of my semiannual rant about Daylight Saving Time, I thought I’d share this photo I took at the grocery store today in Sacramento, CA.
New look, features for SacMix.com
Local happy hour website SacMix.com launched an updated look today with some new features. This week marked the official launch for the site, which aims to be the “Craigslist of Food and Drink” for the Sacramento region.
In addition to tweaking the design, SacMix.com founder Tim White has added hundreds of new listings in outlying areas from Davis to Rocklin, and added additional sorting on the food and drink specials. Other updates will be coming soon, including improved navigation and more specific content on the locations and deals. It’s a great site for quick listings of all the hot spots, and it’s now extremely useful for those off the grid. Cheers!
Smashburger coming, seeks hungry rockers
I am, however, highly amused by the PR 101 tactics being employed to attract attention. Bands of Sacramento, are you ready for the big time? Are you ready to ROCK SMASHBURGER? (The caps indicate that you are supposed to mentally read that phrase in your most rocking DJ voice. I choose to hear Shadoe Stevens in my head at his most Fred Rated extreme.)
It’s Tangy Time: Pinkberry Coming to Sac
The LA institution affectionately known as Crack-berry is coming to our small hamlet. Soon to open at Howe ’bout Arden, with additional locations in the usual suburban enclaves of Roseville, Folsom, and Elk Grove, the SoCal institution will bring its tangy yogurt and fresh fruit toppings and naive Japanese schoolgirl attitude and creepy trance music to town and nothing will be the same again. Mostly my waistline, which will expand exponentially with the consumption of original yogurt with kiwi.
SBW – Now douchebag free
Independent of the great beer, food and fun, do you know what my favorite part has been?
No douchebags.
Free Flapjacks!
* There is a limit of one free short stack per guest. The offer is valid at participating restaurants for dine-in only while supplies last and is not valid with any other offer, special coupon or discount.
Oh, and all they ask is that you consider making a donation to support local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network, or other local charities.
From news10.net, looks like Jack in the Box is in on the action, too.
Also on Feb. 23, Jack-in-the Box will kick in a free grilled sandwich when you buy a large soft drink. On the menu: the turkey bacon cheddar and deli trio sandwiches.
You’ve been warned, errr, uh, now you know!

Old Soul Opens in Oak Park
Old Soul Co. is officially open in Oak Park! The company opened this, their third Sacramento location, in the former Starbucks space at 35th Street and Broadway in Kevin Johnson’s 40 Acres complex. Their grand opening took place last Saturday.
The new cafe offers many Old Soul standards: custom roasted coffees, house-made chai (spicy and delish!), homemade soups, sandwiches, salads, pastries, and even breakfast quiches. Their hours are 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day. Head on over to support one of Sacramento’s brightest local businesses.
Squeeze Inn Reopens Today-New Location
Following the trend of many local businesses, the beloved Squeeze Inn has moved to the Quarry Pond Center in Granite Bay. Ok, that’s not technically true, they actually moved a block away from their old joint and are now at 5301 Power Inn Rd. From all reports it looks like they’ve tried to keep the old atmosphere alive by transplanting a lot of the folksy charm to the new location. For me though, the most important thing is transplanting the grill. If it’s not the same grill, it’s not the same burger.
There will be further reporting once I’ve tucked into a new (and hopefully not improved) Squeeze with cheese in the next few days.
