Dixie’s SACRAMENTO Faves

“Where should I eat in Sac?”
”Where do I take my friend on a date?”
”Where should I grab a plate of _____?”

I put off making this lists of favorites because lists are so subjective! This list is based on my personal consistent experiences (I have eaten at these places more than once). They fed me physically, socially and/or emotionally. Many of these businesses may not have social media, may not have a large social media following, may not rank over 3 stars on Yelp and/or have ignored by offer to promote them through social media marketing. However… I totally believe they deserve visitors!

I would say “go to my About Me page and watch my video before you trust my list”.
