I must have missed it sorry. Simplicity, leads to purity> Outside of organic fruits, berries, nutella, ice cream that people request. I want to keep the 165 year old waffle as is and none commercial or franchise oriented. Just because it is Belgian doesn't make it a slam dunk, I'v e had many waffles in Europe, that are mediocre. There is much beauty in simplicity as Joël Robuchon says best Chef in France and best Sushi Chef Jiro Ono of Japan. by the way check out netflix Killer Documentary, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" enough talk stop by and taste us and see what you think.

Not only am I proud of my friend, who is the head chef, Michael Vaughn, for becoming who he is today, but of education his daughter with evern experience from one state to the next. She is a very well-rounded little girl-at 6 yrs. old, who has seen each state, foreign entertainers, etc.. She has participated in so many activities beyond her wildest dreams. I only wish i could have the courage to do as Michael did to take that first step to join the family of Barnum and Bailey, Ringling Bros. Circus......... I knew when he was approx. 21-22 yrs. that he had a hidden talent of baking, cooking- -everything that had to do with cooking. He has made me proud to have known him as he was growing up and proud of him now. As for the animals, when has anyone seen a train such as the one that they travel on, that has the animals out in the weather. . The animals are very much part of this circus and are protected just as much as the humans are....Why expose the animals to mother nature when most of them are the stars of the show??? Relax, go to a circus and enjoy yourselves........ peglouloulewis 2012-11-29T03:26:57Z pamo comment-76439 2012-11-29T00:56:08Z 2012-11-29T00:56:08Z Maybe those bartenders who said they only made tips should contact the US Dept of Labor.

I am very excited about the prospect of opening a German beer hall but I must admit I am slightly worried about the twists and additions of this project. I hope it is more on the traditional side as opposed to art nouveau. Just keep it simple guys: cold beer, good sausage, a friendly environment and the people will come! I say leave the local IPAs, Red Ales, and Stouts and the whole lot out, these can be found any other local bar and simply take up tap spots that can be given to Spaten, Hacker-Pschorr, and of course Löwenbräu (which by name I feel you must have). Also I feel the "bar" program should be a second thought. You don't open a beer hall to serve cocktails. Keep it limited to schnapps, certain Aperol drinks, Jaegermeister, and certain fruit brandies. Niche is key here guys! PS If you decide to open Saturday & Sunday mornings to show soccer matches, which nobody else does and is a niche that needs to be filled (soccer plus beer at 8am is heaven), you have a bartender in me ready and excited to work! aperitif 2012-11-20T17:26:17Z bigeater1 comment-75983 2012-11-18T18:28:05Z 2012-11-18T18:28:05Z Don't expect this to be the same old run down 1001 item menu restaurant that was there before. way better IMHO. bigeater1 2012-11-18T18:28:05Z bigeater1 comment-75982 2012-11-18T18:18:34Z 2012-11-18T18:18:34Z It's open!!

While interesting, (for about 5 minutes) my guess is that about 10% to 15% of the ballots are put into the "challenge" category because the VBM signature doesn't match the original VBM registration. This categorization is made by county employees, not by the candidate's representatives. I'm sure that the voter who submits a ballot that is "challenged" by a county worker will never know that their vote didn't count. Some signatures don't match at all, maybe filled out and signed out by a spouse or parent, clearly unacceptable. Some signatures are closer, maybe scribbled quickly or how one signs has changed over the years. At the polling place, you're certain your vote counts. By mail, you can never be sure. What I learned: avoid submitting a VBM unless you're certain your signature will match what's on file. When did you create the original signature? When you were 18 and are now 32? Were you in a rush to the finish the ballot and signed differently? Of course the idea of VBM is great, but the system is far from perfect. (BTW, my post in not way should be disparaging of the county workers; they seemed to take their jobs very seriously). Regardless, lets hope that one of the D4 candidates wins by more than 1%! (200 - 250 votes). I believe, though not certain, that if the 1% threshold is not reached there will be an automatic recount. I can't imagine reviewing all of the challenged ballots and bickering over signatures and "voter's intent." acimpa 2012-11-12T20:48:39Z Jon Harlow comment-75753 2012-11-12T17:32:56Z 2012-11-12T17:32:56Z VBMs pose two challenges - you either verify them when they are dropped off or after they are dropped off. If you verify them while they are being dropped off, large waiting lines are created. If you wait to verify them after they are dropped off, a several week count is created.

I tried 15-20 entrees on the menu between 2005 and 2011 and there weren't any worth talking about afterwards. We came for the beer and avoided the food, except for a couple of decent appetizers. I often brought friends since BIU was 2 blocks away and none of them liked the food either. So, if you can't handle the truth about your food and the fact that it likely contributed to to the downturn of the business, you really might want to rethink your approach this time around if you add food. Take a gander at your 188 reviews on yelp "The food didn't really stand out much and it was basically your typical bar food," "Overpriced and not that great. "The food is OK, but I've definitely had a better burger at Carl's Jr." "The food is pretty typical. Nothing super special about it" - And, those are just 4 out of the last 8 reviews. On a positive note: I loved the beer and the micro-brewing in house option. And, I really look forward to your return to the Sacramento area!

Putting a bike share station at some of the Light Rail stations would be awesome!

The cost to build a mile of two-lane, undivided road in a rural area STARTS at $2.3 million and goes up from there: ftp://ftp.dot.state.fl.us/LTS/CO/Estimates/CPM/summary.pdf Ryan Schauland (f.k.a. ryuns) 2012-11-09T18:15:50Z William Burg comment-75589 2012-11-07T20:27:54Z 2012-11-07T20:27:54Z I don't think anyone but the Press Clubn's owners "banned" concerts there--they just oscillated between being strictly DJs and having bands. The scene oscillates sometimes--the early 90s were fairly hopping, then things died down for a while and now they're on the upswing again. It is annoying to us broken-down old men that so much is happening when we hit the age when sleep is as appealing as seeing a great band, but don't let that stop you. I wasn't the only greybeard at Ace of Spades last night enjoying GWAR, althouigh they're probably feeling it today like I am. It's good to see so much growth and interest in the local music scene. Let's just hope it is sustainable in the long run, rather than a flash in the pan.

Back then, they did stuff like ban concerts at the Press Club so they could stick a couple of pool tables where the stage used to be. And places like Ace Of Spades or even KBar or The Park? Forget it. Anyway, now that I'm an embittered middle-aged man holed up in my apartment flipping past reruns of SportsCenter, all the sh|t's flying in earnest. jeffeff 2012-11-07T00:47:49Z troy66 comment-75578 2012-11-07T00:02:32Z 2012-11-07T00:02:32Z Harlow s is not really a restaurant its a bar that serves appetizers and plays live music. troy66 2012-11-07T00:02:32Z Scott Holbrook comment-75567 2012-11-06T18:49:44Z 2012-11-06T18:49:44Z Live music is so vital to the health of a community in so many ways - arts of all type are & should be fostered and tollerated to a reasonable level. Be is South Street Philly, 6th Street Austin, Bourbon Street New Orleans, Duvall Street Key West, Filmore St SF or J Street Sacramento - Live music can create such an exciting atmosphere and center for commerce - I am glad the Police are being responsible and not over cautious in their support of the community wishes. - Support Local Music, Support Live Music - the ability for a group of individuals playing actual instruments to be able to survive and perform is getting harder and harder - Harlows helps in a big way keeping the wheel turning! - Scott Holbrook, Keep Smilin' Promotions Scott Holbrook 2012-11-06T18:49:44Z Aaron Davis comment-75562 2012-11-06T17:42:10Z 2012-11-06T17:42:10Z An effort to leverage restrictions on Harlow's ability to operate/sell alcohol as a music venue is an effort to harm the local music scene and limit the number of touring bands that will play in Sacramento. There is simply no way around this fact, and people who claim to "love Sacramento" or "want to better Sacramento" need to seriously consider this before embarking on such misguided crusades.

Many new riders on Bike-Share would be victims of unsafe Sacramento drivers, legally. When we provide a public Bike-Share it has to be on a safe system on public streets. Tell Governor Brown to approve a safer 3-foot passing law, initiating a safer Bike-Share possibility.

If that was the case, it would be a little shady if a nearby neighborhood association asked for the city to let them slide on proper permitting requirements because of their importance to Sacramento's community of firearms owners. William Burg 2012-11-03T00:21:50Z Dale Kooyman comment-75425 2012-11-02T17:56:23Z 2012-11-02T17:56:23Z Cities more urban and sophisticated than Sacramento, have the sense to adopt Conditional Use Permits which govern late night operating establishments of all kinds and clearly define local city department roles. Check that out instead of meaningless comments. These permits are more definitive and restrictive than ABC's, reduce opportunity for crime and law enforcement costs related to those establishments and protect both nearby businesses and residents. Voice of reason is correct and spoke person statements for the Marshall School Association are confused.. If an alcohol seller does not want to be held responsible for a Type 47 Eating Place license requirements then all it has to do is apply for a Type 48 which is a nightclub license but can still sell food if it chooses to do so. Of course, those licenses are FAR more expensive and the city is obligated to invoke the long standing Public Necessity and Convenience Codes, as it did with the Mermaid Bar downtown. It's called everyone follows the rules. But most alcohol license applicants in Midtown want to and get away with "doing it on the cheap."

If alcohol selling "restaurants" operated the hours according to National Restaurant Association standards instead of bar/club hours, they, like other dinner houses, would have little to no "struggle." BTW alcohol licenses are RARELY revoked permanently--state alcohol lobbyists are too powerful for that to happen--and licensees know that very well..

But, a restaurant can't (or struggle to hold on to theirs) ? iadam 2012-11-02T16:21:40Z Marc Ronson comment-75422 2012-11-02T15:38:28Z 2012-11-02T15:38:28Z "I suspect living in China or Russia, one would be hard pressed to tell the difference with those locals and Sacramento." = 100% pure drama.

One requires a Type 48 license (no person under 21 allowed) while the other requires only a type 47 (anyone). The current license being processed for transfer is a type 47. "Type 41, 47, and 49 licensees must operate and maintain their licensed premises as a bona fide eating place" That's not PD's opinion or request, that's the law! "The Department will presume that a licensee is operating as a bona fide eating place if the gross sales of food prepared and sold to guests on the premises exceeds the gross sales of alcoholic beverages. “Prepared” means any processing preliminary to the final serving of food. (Note: Some licensees have a “conditional” license that requires food sales to be 50% or more of the total gross sales.) So how do concert event ticket sales figure into that "gross sales" figure? So why don't the new owners obtain the night club/bar type-48 permit? Harlow's has evolved, isn't it time that it's license catches up with its evolution? Anybody check out the resume of one of the new managing partners? http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jim-cornett/37/580/255 Bill Graham Presents (15 years 9 months) General Manager for The Fillmore, Warfield Theatre, Punch Line Comedy Clubs That background sounds a lot more like nightclub/bar gig than a restaurant.

If the neighbors have an issue they can take it to the ABC themselves. If the city does, it is code enforcement who should be providing information to the ABC and not advocating a position much less deciding what it will allow a business to do. City of Sacramento has become a place where one is only allowed to do what the city permits you to do. I suspect living in China or Russia, one would be hard pressed to tell the difference with those locals and Sacramento.

Pizza Rock has gluten-free crust for a $5 charge. Chicago Fire has gluten-free crust for $1.50. Sugar Plum Vegan has an assortment of gluten-free muffins, beers and other foods. Queen Sheba will make the bread gluten-free if called a day in advance Gulten-Free Specialty is a grocery store, and staff there can give tips on where to go.

On Sundays you had to wake up early to get there before noon, or you'd have to spend a half-hour or more smoking cloves outside, waiting for a table with a crowd of people mostly hung over and still wearing whatever they wore to the previous night's show.
