The Fat family has expanded regionally with other eateries from Fat’s Asia Bistro and Dim Sum Bar in Roseville and the Fat City Steakhouse to a Kung Fu Fats Express on California State’s Sacramento campus. In Old Sacramento, The Firehouse -- the original “Sacramento No. 3” where Ronald Reagan staged both of his gubernatorial inaugural dinners -- attracts with décor reminiscent of the Gold Rush Era and fare from herb-infused cheeseburgers and chutney-topped antelope to Potato Patch Halibut.
