Sacramento pop up chef serves smash burgers, launches new ordering platform
Precisely 14 years after launching the Sacramento Burger Battle, Rodney Blackwell is back with a new burger concept, as well as a new takeout ordering platform designed for small food businesses. Plush Burger operates out of a catering kitchen in Curtis Park. Blackwell officially served their first Plush burger on Sept. 18, which not coincidentally happened to be National Cheeseburger Day. Burgers are foundational to Blackwell’s culinary worldview. From childhood, they have enjoyed both eating and making them. “After school, I’d come home and there were a few things that I was allowed to make in the kitchen. We had this electric griddle that my parents allowed me to use with my older siblings’ supervision. I realized how much I not only enjoyed cooking for myself, but also for my siblings. Burgers have kind of always been there as the go-to food, the safe food,” they said. In 2009, Blackwell opened the Instagram account @burgerjunkies as a place where they could share photos and reviews of the burgers they ate both locally and around the country. This evolved into the website burgerjunkies.com , where others could submit and rate their favorite ones. Just three years later, Blackwell launched the Sacramento

Jerry James Stone, a longtime food vlogger and influencer , announced that he has landed sufficient funding to launch a television show. He’s been developing the concept for over two years. The show evolved from a web series he created called “What Am I Even Eating?” Sponsored by California Grown , the short-form videos showcased the history, etymology, culinary function and production of major California-grown crops such as pistachios, olives and grapes. The new show, which as yet is unnamed, will be a practical guide to buying and cooking produce seasonally for health and financial security. “I will be producing 13 episodes of the show.
