Style Magazine - September 2021
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me, the answer is easy. Pizza. It’s acceptable for breakfast (I take mine fresh out of the fridge), lunch, dinner, and every meal in between. Plus, there’s enough variety (sauces, crusts, baking vessels, toppings) that I don’t think my taste buds would ever find a slice that wasn’t nice. Come to think of it, I’ve never met a pie that didn’t catch my eye; even frozen pizzas are my friend. With that said, some are certainly better than others and receive rave reviews for a reason. In-season ingredients, dough handling, a suitable sauce to cheese ratio…all this, and more, plays into the finished product. In this month’s feature, “Pie Oh My!” (page 61), we share 25+ out-of-the-pizza-box creations that’ll hopefully have you hungry to branch out of your (thin…or maybe thick) crust comfort zone and explore more of our region’s praiseworthy pizzerias. If you’re looking for one last hurrah before summer comes to a close, consider a staycation. In “Vacation by Design” (page 54), we share some hip home rentals that aren’t only aesthetically appealing but sited within walking distance to a trove of treasures, too—from Apple Hill to Historic Folsom to Old Town Auburn. It’s a good reminder that getting away doesn’t always mean going far away. What else comes with the changing seasons? A change in your wardrobe. For readers wondering what to wear when the temps dip down, we turned to the pros—personal stylists to be exact—and asked them how to look fresh this fall. Flip to “Dress Code” (page 48) for their top style tips, plus a list of local boutiques we love. One trend that never goes out of style? Supporting small businesses. So, whether you’re deciding where to pick up tonight’s pizza or what to do this weekend, I encourage you to choose the mom-and-mom places featured in this month’s magazine. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

beef. I’m not always someone<br />
who orders this dish at a Chinese<br />
restaurant, as it’s usually too sweet.<br />
This version, however, had just<br />
enough sweetness to complement<br />
the rich beef. I also appreciated<br />
the crunch of the onions and bell<br />
peppers—a welcome change from<br />
the sugar-bombgolian beef I often<br />
encounter.<br />
Enough of the fusion side, I<br />
needed some sushi! I couldn’t help<br />
but notice a plate of rolls with a<br />
lobster shell making its way from<br />
the sushi bar out to a customer. A<br />
lobster roll looked and sounded<br />

like just what I needed. Beautifully<br />
presentated, the sushi wasn’t<br />
covered in too much sauce, allowing<br />
the delicate crustacean flavor to<br />
shine. There’s nothing worse to me<br />
than ordering an expensive piece<br />
of seafood and burying it in a thick,<br />
overpowering sauce. Nice job, chef<br />
(and thank you for the salmon and<br />
ahi snacks)!<br />
Good luck to Alex and the<br />
Pareja family on this and future<br />
endeavors (yes, there may be more<br />
to come according to the young<br />
entrepreneur). I have no doubt you’ll<br />
be successful!<br />
