Weekend things to do in and around Fresno

We have a break in the weather this weekend and while it’s going to be cool, it’s also going to be a great opportunity to get out and shake off some of that cabin fever. Take it while you can.

The Reverend Horton Heat

Nobody asked us, but we had to feature it when we saw The Rev. was coming to Fresno! The Reverend Horton Heat, known as the “godfather of modern rockabilly and psychobilly,” is performing in Fresno for one night only at Fulton 55. The band is known for their high-speed guitar runs, thundering rhythms, swagger, and witty lyrics, and is considered one of the most popular psychobilly artists.

Joining them is The Surfrajettes, a four-piece instrumental combo from Toronto, Canada, known for their blend of psychedelic rock and surf music, as well as their go-go boots and thick eyeliner. Check them out.

Food Explorer

Last week we dared you to go out and taste a beer you hadn’t before (it was the Mission Wolf Brown) and from all the reports we got back – you loved it! So let’s do that again only this time with food!

This week we featured two great food places that are very different from each other.

Kemp BBQ

Your challenge this week is to get over to Kemp BBQ in Clovis and see what kind of magic Post Oak can do to a Texas style smoked brisket. To be safe, you better call ahead first, they sell out! Details are all in FresYes Interview: Kemp BBQ.

If you are really in explorer mode, on Saturday they feature what they call Jurassic Beef Ribs. Try them and let us know if they really are “beef pillows”.

Las Mañanitas

Described as a top ten spot on Yelp’s review site for having one of the best brunches in the US. Wait? Did you really say the U.S.? You’ve no doubt heard about their food. You might not have tried it just because the wait times were so freaking long, right?

Well, good news! Natali gave us an inside look at their new (not so busy) location. Same great food – now with plenty of tables! Check it out at “Downtown Welcomes First New Food Court Tenant & Their Famed Breakfast Dishes” and when you do we want to know your opinion!
