What’s for Dinner Before AR 50?
I’m guessing that a lot of people are going to come to town this weekend to run in the American River 50. It is, after all, one of the largest ultra races in the country.
I asked some locals where they’d recommend eating dinner before the big race and came up with a short list.
Maria G. says that if you like Italian, you should try Michelangelo‘s or Lucca (both midtown). If you like sushi, she recommends Mikuni (midtown) or Taro (Arden Fair Mall) . For Thai, she likes Thai Basil. “They are reliably good in their specialty,” she says. She also recommend making reservations for Michelangelo’s though. The night before CIM (the California International Marathon) it is usually packed with runners.
Allyson T. likes Miyagi Sushi (near Sac State) before big races. “Good proteins, not too much carbs and healthy fats,” she says. “And a little sake helps you sleep better!”
Andrew A. recommends the Loving Hut (Stockton Blvd, just south of downtown), saying “Great flavor, good combo of protein and carbs, not too heavy.” They are also one of few vegan restaurants in Sacramento. They are definitely the only restaurant in town with Supreme Master Television!
