Second annual "Edible Crawl for a Cure" produced by MidtownGrid.com and benefiting Cystic Fibrosis is the brainchild of Brian Fischer of Midtown Grid and Darby Flynn of Cystic Fibrosis. This organized 'pub crawl' is a clever way to show locals how walkable Midtown and Dowtown Sacramento is while enjoying appetizers and drink samples at several restaurants and breweries.
The first two places that Team UBO Mag, consisting of James Morales [UBO and freelance photographer], Kris Gupton [Shiny Nickel Art Gallery], John AKA Hiero Morales [freelance tattoo artist], Carlos and Maria Stowers [Server at Sandra Dees and aspiring comic book artist] visited were not serving [Kasbah Lounge was not ready and Sanad's Mediterranean Deli didn't know they were participating]. So we headed to Stone Grill where they were serving mixed, layered drinks and seared beef on hot stones.
Team UBO Mag's favorite places were Rubicon for the beer, Parlare Euro Lounge for the many mixed drink samples and delicious appetizers [can I say spicey and sweet chicken and shrimp with edemame starters?] and L Wine Lounge for the California-style pizza and several samples of house-made sangria.
Our team managed to visit nearly every spot on the map that Midtown Grid provided except for three places because by the time we hit Brew it Up! and then Clarion we were a tad bit too toasty.
This event was even more organized than last year, mainly on the restaurant's side since they learned what people liked, how much food and liquor, beer or wine to provide and where to serve the samples in the restaurant.
Fischer is interested in having a spring Edible Crawl in '09 because of popularity this fall. With local morning show, magazine and newspaper promotions The Edible Crawl was a success! See you all this spring; join Team UBO Mag.
