Style Magazine - May 2022
Starting the month off with a mighty bang is Cinco de Mayo that commemorates the anniversary of Mexico’s victory over the French Empire (and is NOT their Independence Day which is celebrated September 16). We love a good party and never pass up the chance to have one. So, with that as inspiration, we bring you this month’s “30+ Local Latin American Restaurants To Try!” feature (page 85) that’s full of intoxicating eats that will guarantee a fiesta (definitely followed by a siesta!). While researching this article, we came across many other South American restaurants that warranted mention, thus expanding the feature to include Salvadoran, Brazilian, and other cuisines that will knock your socks off. Another holiday we can’t wait to celebrate this month is Mother’s Day (May 8). We all have our own ways of showing affection and appreciation towards our moms (or mother figures) on Mother’s Day, but as a magazine, we’ve come to love our “Get to Know” article each May that profiles some of the most magnificent mothers to grace our neighborhoods. Not a single one of them fails to inspire and warm our hearts, and this year’s “Mighty Moms” piece (page 16) is no less. If it weren’t already apparent, we’ve got so much good content on the following pages. So, grab a margarita (or any of the coffees in our “Hot List” department on page 102—if that’s more your thing), grab the family (including mom!), and make the most of May. Cheers and happy everything! —Tara Mendanha tara@stylemg.com

Toast is a hearty serving<br />
of sourdough, wheat or<br />
gluten-free toast that’s<br />
topped with house-made<br />
hummus, sliced avocado,<br />
and everything bagel<br />
seasoning. And, you<br />
can’t visit a place like<br />
The Flower Farm without<br />
trying their Lavender<br />
Latte. This perfect<br />
pairing is just the start<br />
to a day spent among<br />
the stunning flowers and<br />

Reset: Café by Day<br />
727 Sutter Street, Suite B, Folsom,<br />
916-358-9162, resetfolsom.com<br />
You might be wondering:<br />
what is Reset by night if it’s<br />
a café by day? Well, you’ll<br />
have to find out for yourself<br />
but there's a clue in their<br />
Murphy’s Irish Coffee. Yep,<br />
that’s coffee spiked with<br />
whiskey and brown sugar,<br />
and topped with house-made<br />
whipped cream. While you sip<br />
on that, indulge in their loaded<br />
Avocado Toast that features<br />
avocado, olive tapenade,<br />
sweet red peppers, housepickled<br />
onions, goat cheese,<br />
micro greens, and tuxedo<br />
sesame seeds on toast.<br />
