Sacramento’s Flavor Fix — Delivered Monthly
If your appetite includes a side of curiosity, it’s time to subscribe to Ask for the Special — the monthly newsletter serving up the most delicious stories in the Greater Sacramento area.
This month, we’re spotlighting Nixtaco’s new Folsom location, where Oaxacan-inspired flavors meet California casual. Their birria tacos and house-made nixtamalized tortillas continue to win awards — now with more tables, more mezcal, and more reasons to make the drive.
Then we head downtown to The Firehouse, a Sacramento institution where history meets haute cuisine. Their recent collaboration with Johnny Walker Blue Label redefines luxury dining — imagine a multi-course menu where every dish is paired with a rare Scotch expression.
And no Sacramento food story is complete without a touch of nostalgia — cue Hagen’s Orange Freeze, the retro drive-in treat that’s been cooling locals off for generations. Creamy, citrusy, and pure happiness in a cup.
Coming soon: the Ask for the Special Podcast, where local chefs, restaurateurs, and foodies sit down to share their “perfect imaginary dinner” — the dishes, drinks, and dream companions that define their love of food. Subscribe today and be part of Sacramento’s tastiest conversation.
