Mason’s in Sacramento

I was in Sacramento late last week on business.
Despite being the capital of the 4th largest economy in the world, Sacramento, California has always had the reputation of being a culinary backwater.
As in there’s no real places to eat!
So when I had a meeting/dinner to go to, my companion suggested Mason’s. It was pretty good. And if you hang out there long enough, the restaurant closes and it becomes a club. And since you’re already inside, you’re already in! (that’s for all of you that want to make an evening of it)
Check this out!

This is, quite possibly, the bestest macaroni and cheese I’ve ever had. It’s baked in a small souffle dish and has all kinds of salty, flavorful cheeses in it. It was truly sinful…
I ordered their Pan Roasted Organic Chicken (but was hungry so devoured it before had a chance for a pic) and my companion had the Whole Grilled Bone in Sea Bass (mutated sea bass with frickin’ laser beams on their heads!!!).

If you’re Chinese, this may look strangely familiar…
Yup. And neither of us know that ancient Chinese secret of deboning fish.
