    Keeping its pledge to offer local, farm-to-fork fare at Golden 1 Center, which is set to open this October, the Sacramento Kings are announcing three more partnerships with prominent Sacramento-based restaurants today.

    Golden 1 Center’s executive chef Michael Tuohy, who is developing and overseeing the food and beverage program for the arena with Legends Hospitality, says midtown eateries Mulvaney’s B&L and Petra Greek, as well as the Mikuni Restaurant Group (which owns seven restaurants throughout the region), will join previously announced hometown restaurant teams Paragary Restaurant Group, Selland Family Restaurants, Star Ginger and LowBrau Bierhall at the complex.

    “I want to be able to share [what we have to offer],” he says. “This is our way of saying to the community that the arena is a good thing and that, ‘Yes, we love our city.’ ”

    Patrick and Bobbin Mulvaney, owners of the popular Mulvaney’s B&L restaurant in midtown, have a longstanding policy covering any expansion to a second location. Mostly, it’s Bobbin’s policy.

    “Every hostess has standing orders,” she says. “If they see Patrick walk outside with a real estate developer, they are to throw themselves on the windshield until I can get out there and drag [Patrick] out of the car.”

    So, the Mulvaney’s won’t be expanding any time soon, but it’s not for lack of opportunity. “Many, many developers are looking for tenants right now,” Patrick says. “Most come in and say, ‘What can we do? What do you want?’”

    Around the Sacramento region, the Mulvaney’s attitude is rare. So many other chefs and owners are taking up those offers or have their own plans to expand. 2015 is proving to be a banner year for restaurant expansions, and as Sacramento’s new Golden 1 Arena rises, 2016 will surely continue the trend.

    Top Execs of 2014

    This year we continue our tradition of profiling executives who made a difference in the last 12 months. Here we present profiles of leaders in the private, public and nonprofit sectors who made big deals or helped shape the year in business in 2014.

    In March, Patrick Mulvaney reached a career milestone when he and 10 members of his staff traveled to New York City to cook dinner at the James Beard House. It was the third time that a Sacramento-area chef was invited to cook at the prestigious culinary landmark. “It was great to stand up and tell the diners that everything they had just eaten, with the exception of water, bread and Irish whiskey, came from California,” Mulvaney said.

    He remained at the forefront of the region’s farm-to-fork movement, and this year devised FoodStock with fellow restaurateur and wife Bobbin Mulvaney. The event — part of the annual farm-to-fork celebration — featured music and food, including whole roast pigs.
