A NEW LIFE AND A NEW NAME IN SACRAMENTO ON THIS WEEK’S FARM TO FORK. FRIDAY, KCRA 3’S LISA GONZALES TAKES US TO STEPDADS TO FIND OUT HOW THEY MAKE THEIR HEARTY NEW ENTREES AT A BRAND NEW PLACE, WHICH IS KIND OF OLD IN LAND PARK IN SACRAMENTO. IT’S STEPDADS. IT USED TO FORMALLY BE NAMED THE DAD’S KITCHEN. IT WAS VERY POPULAR. AND NOW CHEF OLIVER RIDGEWAY FROM CAMDEN HAS TAKEN IT OVER. AND REALLY, THIS IS JUST A BELOVED SPOT IN ORLAND PARK. IT IS. AND I’M A RESIDENT OF LASSEN PARK. AND WHEN THE BUSINESS CLOSED, WE SAW A HOLE AND I WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING. I WANT TO GO AND MY FRIENDS TO GO. SO STEPDADS WAS BORN AND THAT’S REALLY IT. IT’S KIND OF A MID-CENTURY VIBE IN HERE. GREAT PATIO, GREAT DINING ROOM. IT IS. IT FEELS LIKE A CLUBHOUSE. OBVIOUSLY. WE’VE GOT THE GOLF COURSE HERE, WE’VE GOT SWIMMING CLUBS AROUND. SO IT REALLY HAS THAT VIBE. AND WE NOW HAVE A FULL BAR WHICH YOU NEVER USED TO HAVE. SO. SO THERE’S THAT. CHEERS TO THAT. COCKTAILS FOR THE FOR THE DADS AND THE MOMS AND THE STEPDADS. AND WHAT’S THE SAYING HERE AT STEPDADS? ARE WE YOUR MOM’S NEW FAVORITE? YOUR MOM’S NEW FAVORITE. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU’VE GOT SOME CLASSICS HERE AS WELL. SO TELL US ABOUT THE CLASSICS THAT YOU’RE SERVING UP HERE THAT ARE REALLY POPULAR. SO WE CALL IT THE 1924 BURGER. THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT LANDMARK WAS CREATED. IT’S OUR NUMBER ONE SELLER. VERY KIND OF SIMPLE MEAT CHEESE BUN WITH OUR OWN STEP SAUCE IN THERE. OBVIOUSLY THE STEREOTYPE BRITISH GUY HAS TO HAVE HIS FISH AND CHIPS ON THERE. THAT IS MY SIGNATURE BUTTER BATTER. SORRY. AND THEN THE CLUB SANDWICH BACK TO THE FISH AND CHIPS. HOLD ON. AND ALSO I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS BRIT HAS A BRIT POP BRUNCH THAT’S COMING UP ON NOVEMBER 2ND, RIGHT? I DO, AND WE’RE GOING TO BE FEATURING ALL MY FAVORITE MUSIC, OASIS AND BLUR. WE’RE GOING TO DO A FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST. WE’RE GOING TO DO THE WHOLE THE WHOLE FULL MONTY, AS WE WOULD CALL IT, FULL MONTY, SARNIES AND BEVVIES. ALL RIGHT, NOW LET’S GET TO THIS CLUB SANDWICH, WHICH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST A STAPLE. IT IS. I FEEL LIKE CLUB SANDWICH IS KIND OF WENT AWAY. AND WHEN WE DESIGNED THIS RESTAURANT, I’M LIKE, WE NEED TO DO A CLUB SANDWICH. SO THIS IS A RENAISSANCE OF THE CLUB SANDWICH CLASSIC THREE TRIPLE DECKER TURKEY BACON, REALLY GOOD MAYONNAISE, LETTUCE, TOMATO, ONIONS, CRISPY FRENCH FRIES ON SOURDOUGH. AND IT’S JUST A BANGER OF A SANDWICH. AND IT REALLY DOES KIND OF, YOU KNOW, TELL YOU WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO LUNCH. OKAY. SO WHAT DO YOU YOU LAYER THIS THING IN THERE WHERE HOW DO YOU START WITH THE LAYERING? SO YOU BUTTER YOUR SOURDOUGH AND YOU TOAST IT. YOU PUT FRESH ROAST TURKEY IN THERE WITH A SLATHER OF MAYONNAISE ON FIRST FRESH TOMATOES, CRISPY BACON, SHREDDED LETTUCE AND RAW RED ONION, AND A LITTLE SLICE OF CHEDDAR. AND THEN JUST LAYER THAT THING UP IN THREE LEVELS. I LOVE IT. IT’S CLASSIC. IT’S CLUB SANDWICH. IT IS. WE’RE REALLY HAPPY WITH IT. AND IT’S STILL FARM TO FORK. LOTS OF FRESH STUFF. OH, AND LOCAL BAKERIES. EVERYTHING WE’RE USING IS HONORING WHAT WE CAN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, RIGHT? STEPDADS YOUR MOM’S NEW FAVORITE PLACE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THAT’S THI
