Daring Dining ~ Sam's Hof Brau

Sacramento, CA
Hello Friends!

Today was great! First we went to the Crocker Art Museum near old town Sacramento. Our wonderful home stay gave us passes and we were quite impressed! The museum had recently built a very large state of the art museum hall attached to the old (and amazing) Crocker Mansion that was the original art museum. Lots of amazing pieces and by far the best part was the 11th and 12th grade exhibit of self portraits. There are some very talented kids here in Sacramento! Being a nice art gallery, photography was not allowed so no pictures from that part of our day.

Afterward we went to a restaurant that is none too far from where we are staying and has been calling my name all week long, Sam's Hof Brau. Yes, you read right. At night the place is lit up like a casino yet has all the outward charm of an old ma and pa pizza place. We were told that there sandwiches were tasty so full of art culture we sought a might fine meal.

Upon walking in we discovered that it was a cafeteria set up. You walked up to the counter, told chefs what sandwich or slices of meat you wanted, took your tray, grabbed your drink, and paid the nice lady before you sat down to eat. The meats looked divine! Ham, roast beef, turkey, fish, pastrami, corned beef, all piping fresh and steaming succulent smells right before you!

I opted for the house ruben and lordy-lodry was it amazing! They sliced a huge hunk of pastrami right in front of me before my lushes lunch headed to the grill. At the tabled was mustard and horseradish and I threw on some home made pickles as well - HEAVEN!

Today is the last rehearsal of Beauty Lou and tomorrow our last shows. The week is going great and soon I will be back to my Montana home!!!
