Style Magazine - Readers Choice Awards - Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin 2022
In this month’s issue, our biggest of the year, we’re celebrating the season—along with all our region’s small businesses (and business owners)—in a big way. If you’re like me and read magazines back to front, then start with “Last Look” on page 82 for an autumn-esque picture snapped locally and our favorite leaf-peeping locales, including East Sacramento—an urban forest that’s currently awash in a canopy of yellow, orange, and crimson-colored trees. Leaving the leaves behind, turn to page 68 for some easy, autumn-inspired recipes utilizing the cream of the harvest crop, including a butternut squash risotto you’ll be eager to reheat…and have on repeat. In honor of the most hallowed holiday—the one where consuming colossal amounts of candy and donning creepy costumes is A-OK—we asked area distilleries for their “boo”ziest, most spirited cocktails. Pick your poison (I think I’ll start with the Midori-spiked, freaky-looking “Frankenstein”) on page 72. We also share some fun, festive Halloween happenings in The 10 Spot (page 16) that are sure to (pumpkin) spice up the season. Around here, it wouldn’t be October without our annual “Best of” feature, where we announce the winners of this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s a personal favorite because I always discover new (literally) winning places around town to support—like Pasty Pies of the World and Exhilaration Station—and am reminded of all the talented, innovative entrepreneurs our region is teeming with. Find out if your favorite people and places made the list starting on page 51. There’s much more in store, too, including an inspiring, informative piece about local women beating breast cancer (page 20); a spotlight on some of the area’s best bands (page 26); and tips on making sure your WFH office is an authentic place of productivity, whether you prefer to work indoors or (like me!) out (page 54). I hope you’ll agree that these glossy print pages are as plentiful and uplifting as the autumn season itself. Enjoy! ——Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

TATER<br />
TOTS…<br />
— by BELLA NOLEN<br />
Small, salty cylinders of<br />
pure potato bliss, tater<br />
tots will forever be crowdpleasers.<br />
We rounded up<br />
the region’s best grown-up<br />
renditions of these fun<br />
foodie favorites.<br />
Dirty Tater Tots<br />

Why is The Ring of Fire in Camino my top BBQ spot? I’ll tell you why! The<br />
husband-and-wife owners, Ken and Rebecca, have accomplished something<br />
not every smokehouse has: the perfect combination of superb Southern<br />
BBQ with a side of incredible customer service. Start with their Queso<br />
& Chips—fresh, crispy, white corn tortilla chips served with house-made<br />
green chili queso dip. I would eat it with a spoon, but I think I’d get a “bless<br />
your heart.” Another appetizer to try is The Hog Pile—a perfect name for a<br />
perfect plate. Crispy tater tots smothered in that same amazing queso with a<br />
generous portion of pulled pork that’s smoked low and slow. Next up? Meat!<br />
Brisket, pulled pork, chicken, tri tip, ribs, hot links…I know, it's hard to<br />
decide. Another decision looms after that one. What side(s) should you get?<br />
I recommend the Southern <strong>Style</strong> Potato Salad and Kicked Up Coleslaw.<br />
They also have fries, baked beans, mac & cheese, and salad. In the mood for<br />
meat and bread, aka, a sandwich? They have those, too! Don’t worry, they<br />
come with a side of your choosing. If y’all don’t mind sauce glazed over your<br />
face and hands, grab the crispy fried wings…and a few piles of napkins. I<br />
reckon you’ll need ’em. — by JULIE RYAN<br />
