Sometimes, you have to take things into your own hands.

For us, that meant packing up the car and heading North to Sacramento for a weekend getaway to soak up some sunshine.

We picked the new Sawyer Hotel in downtown because we’re fans of the Kimpton chain and loved the central location. Little did we know the Sawyer also boasted a seriously fun and gluten-free diner friendly restaurant—Punch Bowl Social.

Naturally, we grabbed a couple of cups of punch and some carnitas nachos. And they were some seriously drool-worthy nachos.

I’ll be sharing more about our trip soon [UPDATE: I’ve posted my guide to eating gluten-free in Sacramento!]. I was impressed with the range of great places to eat gluten-free, and the farm-to-table emphasis.
