Discover North San Joaquin Valley
Joaquin Valley stretches across central California, touching the city of Sacramento at its northernmost point. This area is responsible for much of the state's produce and wine production, and the dining scene of North San Joaquin Valley owes much to this agricultural bounty. Many of the area's restaurants use local produce to create farm-to-table concoctions, ranging from healthy vegan dishes to herb-roasted chicken dinners. There's plenty of American fare in the northern region of San Joaquin Valley, and the area has more to offer than steakhouses and burger grills. Asian fusion cuisine is always easy to find, and Vietnamese, Filipino, and Chinese eateries abound. Soul food is also available, offering locals savory BBQ sandwiches, ribs, and fried catfish.
