Remember the debate about how big of a role Twitter played in the Arab Spring? Well I’m not going to chime in on that. But it looks like it might have had a pretty big impact on the lunchtime landscape of Sacramento. About a month ago, Chris Macias wrote a piece in the Sacramento Bee that took stock of Sacramento’s current food scene and then talked about what’s missing. He also asked his readers via Twitter what their ideas were and posted some of the best ideas in a follow-up post.
One of the best ideas was also the most simple!
Lo and behold, last Friday while buying sausages at Morant’s for a birthday party, I saw one of the nice, stoic guys that work there manning a grill set up in the parking lot. Last Friday they were grilling up Italians, Louisiana Hots, Polish, Cheboygans, and a few other brats and links. The sign out front says, “Sausage Sandwiches $6.00; with salad $7.00”.
Whether Morant’s sagely responded to the internet chatter, or whether this was in the works before Macias’s article is a matter for debate. What’s not debatable is that lunch on Franklin just got even better! For now the sandwiches are available on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30-3 pm.
Damn I live that place, amazing landjagers!
They always sell sandwiches in the summer–lunchtime only.
Oh really? I’d never seen the grill set-up before and when I asked him when they started doing that he said,”last week.” He must have meant for the summer! Well it looks like Twitter didn’t play a big role in this case, but for those of us who didn’t know about the sandwiches, it’s good news indeed!
Unless they took some time off? i live and work nearby so I’ve seen the grill going over the years. I think it used to be weekdays only because when I’d go over on the weekend there would be no grill. Which of course I complained about. ;)
