Style Magazine - February 2022
Whether the words “bibimbap” and “bulgogi” ring any bells or not, this month’s feature, “Head East!” (page 72), is aimed at informing and hopefully inspiring you to explore unfamiliar-to-you fare. From Thai, Vietnamese, and Chinese to Japanese and Korean, we share the flavors that define each country’s cooking and a list of the most iconic eats. Hopefully it encourages you to think outside your typical takeout box and dig into something that surprises you…in the best, most delicious way. What else is cooking this month? In honor of Valentine’s Day, we have lots of lovey-dovey content, including a spotlight on four meet-cute couples who make marriage look easy (“Two’s Company” on page 22); the region’s prettiest pink drinks to sip alongside your nearest and dearest (page 92); and relationship pointers from the pros, ensuring your courtship stays sexy and spontaneous (“Together Forever” on page 38). One of the tips? Scheduling at least two date nights every month. If you’re looking for something different to do, consider reserving a spot at Auburn’s hottest table in town, Restaurant Josephine (page 88); heading out for a hike on the Homestead to Blue Ridge Loop (page 42), or attending a crab feed fundraiser, art exhibit, or live performance (page 12); all are wonderful ways to bring the butterflies back, if even for a few fleeting hours. I wish I could say my husband and I have big, passionate Valentine’s Day plans, but we’ll be bonding over the birth of our baby girl—estimated to arrive any day now—so I’m anticipating a February filled with little sleep, lots of Thai takeout (our family’s favorite!), and an abundance of love. See you after my maternity leave. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

DRIVE-THRUS<br />
by BELLA NOLEN<br />
Drive-thrus have<br />
long been a<br />
convenient way to<br />
get what you need<br />
on the go. You can<br />
roll up—literally—<br />
in some sweats or<br />
pajamas without<br />
worry, order with<br />
minimal interaction,<br />
and be on your way.<br />
It really is as easy as<br />
pie! Here are some<br />
top spots to check<br />
out.<br />
Amy’s Drive-Thru<br />
1119 Galleria Boulevard, Roseville, 916-957-5868,<br />
amysdrivethru.com<br />
Amy’s is dedicated to healthier food choices and<br />
sustainability. In fact, their vegetative roof filled with<br />
plants and greenery helps their energy performance<br />
and shows commitment to a healthier lifestyle. When it<br />
comes to their good-for-you grub, there’s something<br />
for everyone! The entirely vegan and vegetarian<br />
eatery offers a variety of organic and non-GMO<br />
food and beverages—including favorites like The<br />
Amy (double veggie patty, double cheese, lettuce,<br />
tomatoes, onions, pickles, and secret sauce), plus<br />
burritos, fries, milkshakes, and more.<br />
Shady Coffee & Tea<br />
325 Douglas Boulevard, Roseville, 916-742-4117,<br />
shadycoffeeandtea.com<br />
With a shaded patio, overhanging lights, and occasional<br />
open mic nights, Shady is the perfect pick-me-up<br />
pitstop—whether you dine in or avail of their drive-thru.<br />
They also treat their customers and their coffee with<br />
great care (it’s organically sourced and locally roasted).<br />
In addition to the café’s cozy, quirky vibe and lovingly<br />
prepared Latte, their food is equally impressive!<br />
