This was awesome.👏🏿
Yes, given Sacramento the recognization that it deserves for food
Excellent episode! Thanks for stopping by — and please come again!
Eh, Michelin starred and Michelin recognized are two completely different things. Ill save the time and gas by not goin
Thanks for the episode, now I'll have to try them out. 🙂
Horrible host, theres a reason why her videos have the lowest views on the channel.
Ugh this all looks so goood 😭should’ve not watched while hungry
I felt that pizza crunch. I'm only 8.5 miles from Majka. Might have to hit that spot this week. Looks really good.
The food in this video looks amazing, especially the pizza. The crust looks perfectly baked with a nice texture, and the sauce and toppings look rich and full of flavor. You can really see the balance between the crisp base and the soft inside. Even the ingredients look fresh and well chosen, which makes a big difference. This is the kind of pizza that looks simple but done at a very high level 🔥
S/O for shining the spotlight on my city! 🥳👏🏼
Native Angeleno Crenshaw HS. Nixtaco looks good but ain't in Sacramento – it's in a different county. Short story… had a co-worker tell me he was from L.A. I asked where – he said Torrance – okay it is in L. A. County, but not Los Angeles city. Yeah I'm nit pickin'!
Wait they have food at the farmers market
7:30, it's Ca-: "kuh" (like the first part of "computer") – pay Valley.
!
awesome video!
Sactown getting some love! I live next to nixtaco and have been a huge advocate for their food since they opened. Truly amazing tacos. Glad our produce is getting mentioned also. I travel for work and I’ve never been anywhere that’s had better produce except maybe Hawaii when eating their local fruits. We have some amazing food here!
You mentioned vegetarian pizza. What about Gluten free?
City Of Trees baby!!
Mayahuel in downtown sac is top notch as well. Definitely worth a visit.
Who?
I love my city!
Drive J Street east from I-5 to 20th Street to see what's really going on…
Anyone who puts broccoli of pizza is a terrorist.
I love majka!!!! In all my years going there, I never knew how to pronounce it lmao so thank you for that 😜 but their green sauce and their miso chocolate chip cookies are to die forr
I have to say as a person who spent most of his life in NY that doesn’t look like pizza but I will be trying it soon before I pass judgment lol great video
You decided to go to Sacramento County out of all of the counties in California
Where are all the homeless tho.
This is the food you get when you don’t buy from Sysco!
Nyesha is simply amazing and seeing her highlight the Capital city of CA what a treat!! This is hands down the best thing YouTube recommended in the last years. Now I have to go get a pizza and some tacos! Cheers.
this is dope !!!
As someone who sent 8 yrs in Sac , I haven't explored this
🙌🙌🙌🙌
I live in Sacramento, and I've never thought of any of these things about living here. 😂 farmers markets are dope, though.
She came to Sacramento wow 😂😂😂😂
