| editor’s letter |

In any romantic relationship, the first

“I love you” is always a momentous

milestone. When my now-husband first

professed those three words, we were

listening to sappy songs while watching

the sunset and enjoying vanilla cones

from the Golden Arches. Of course, I echoed

his sentiments, and the rest is history. I’ll

forever associate Mickey D’s soft serve with

our love story’s butterfly-filled beginnings. But

just as our partnership has evolved over the

years, so have our palates, particularly when

it comes to cones.

Speaking of the V-shaped vessels, you won’t

want to miss contributor Caitlin McCulloch’s

piece in The Hot List (page 88), highlighting six

undeniably cool cones, including a hand-held, house-made waffle cone filled with

candied brown sugar bacon, fried chicken tenders, avocado, lettuce, and cool ranch

from Cluck N Cone; and an activated charcoal Oreo cookie cone swirled with black

sesame and Hokkaido milk ice cream from Tokyo Cream. Though I’ll never say

no to a classic cake cone with machine-made

froyo, the more upscale offerings featured here

"Love doesn’t are undoubtedly a yes. Invite your nearest and

make the world dearest and go on a “cone crawl” to try them all!

In Get to Know, “Two’s Company,” Nelly

go round. Love is

Kislyanka interviews three local couples whose

what makes the journeys to the altar prove that real romance

ride worthwhile.” can happen at any age and at any time. Read

each duo’s sweet stories and secrets to success

—Franklin P. Jones (“communicate about everything, even the

difficult and sensitive topics”; “work as a team

and put pride away”) starting on page 20.

Another (not-so) secret to relationship success? Going on date nights, especially

those that involve red meat and red wine. Wondering where to go? In our feature,

“Sizzling Steaks” (page 72), Sharon Penny writes about 13 restaurants that take the

art of steak (and all the requisite sides) seriously. From tenderloins and tomahawks,

to old-school steakhouses experimenting with new-school preparations, there’s

something for almost everyone (apologies in advance, vegans!). On the “rare” (pun

intended) occasion that my husband and I make it out, without our tots in tow, I’m

adding all the spots, and steaks, to our list.

And if a home-cooked steak supper is more your style, we have you covered too.

Check out our publisher’s recipe for “The Perfect Filet” (page 75), purchase your

protein at one of the region’s best butcher shops (page 76), and fire up the cast-iron

skillet! Just don’t forget the vino; check out “Blend Is In” (page 86) for five of the best

bottles available locally.

Enjoy the issue! Here’s wishing you a month full of love—and maybe (if you’re

lucky!) a filet mignon. Cheers!

—Megan

What’s your

love

language?

“Though my husband and I practice all the

love languages, we’re always making each

other feel special with kisses, kindness,

compliments, and holding hands, so I’d

have to say physical touch and words

of affirmation top the list!”

—Debbie Juhos

“Quality time. In a world filled with

distractions, having someone’s

undivided, dedicated attention feels

precious and meaningful.”

—Melissa Strand

“Acts of service, or when my interests

are being thought of—like someone

picking up a book I’ve recommended to

them.”—Bella Nolen

“Quality time—100%! Few things make

me happier than spending all day with

the person I love, even if we’re just

lounging on the couch binging our

favorite show.”—Ray Burgess

“Hands down (pun intended), it's physical

touch! The energy felt through holding

hands, a giant bear hug, or a kiss is

emotionally powerful and fills up my

heart each and every time.”

—Gary Zsigo

“As the saying goes, ‘actions speak

louder than words,’ so my love language

is definitely acts of service.”

It’s no surprise that succulents are popular indoor

plants. Not only do they add interest and beauty

to your décor, but they’re low-maintenance and

available in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes.

Wondering how to care for your cacti? Read some

top succulent growing tips, courtesy of gardening

expert Melinda Myers, on our website.

Have you had your five a day today? Though some

of us love carrots, cauliflower, beets, broccoli (you

get the idea…) and eat them at every meal, others

into your family’s favorite meals, you won’t want to

miss these clever ideas from the American Heart

Cameron Park resident and 32-year

veteran of the El Dorado County

modern approach to traditional law

enforcement values; total enforcement

on crime and criminals; total care

for victims, witnesses, and the

community; and total professionalism,

through training and by example.”

Beloved Folsom eatery Bacchus House Wine Bar & Bistro (bacchushousebistro.

of critical care—was raised through the restaurant’s Hollywood-caliber tribute

to The Wizard of Oz that included a series of special fundraising dinners.

Congrats to the Folsom Lake College

Women’s Soccer team for being ranked

number eight in the entire nation

Local Love

Stories

by NELLY KISLYANKA

'Tis the season for romance! We're ushering in

Valentine's Day with three love stories that'll warm

your heart despite the February chill.

laughing, and having fun together. The

evening ended with a first kiss under the

stars. Rico asked Shannon to marry him

in 2020, and they tied the knot in 2021.

“Rodeo magic is a real thing!”

Favorite date spot: Thursday is our

weekly date night. We typically stay in

Folsom and rotate between Land Ocean

and Scott’s Seafood Roundhouse.

Secrets to success: Since we both

come from failed marriages, we

feel strongly that it starts with good

communication. In our relationship,

we talk about everything—even when

it’s a difficult or sensitive topic. During

premarital counseling, our pastor

recommended we hold business

meetings to address business issues

such as finances, parenting, and home

responsibilities. This keeps the business

side of us separate from our dating/

fun side. We also love to travel and

make quarterly trips a priority. We think

it’s important to show our children that

relationships take quality time, nurturing,

Shannon Robb

& Rico Bundalian

Some love stories begin in the

unlikeliest of places. In 2014, Shannon

and Rico met at a divorce care group

through Hills Church. Both were

navigating their newly single lives and

not considering a relationship. So, they

became friends—working out and

traveling together, running into each

other at community events, and even

playing on the same softball team. “Still,

it never crossed either of our minds to

date one another,” says Shannon. Until

the 2019 Folsom Pro Rodeo, that is. After

inviting Rico to help at the event, where

Shannon was working, they spent a

magical evening dancing in the saloon,

and hard work.

What's your favorite thing about your

partner?

Shannon: Rico is kind, thoughtful, loving,

and an amazing listener. He’s always fun,

and I still get butterflies when he walks

into the room. He’s also an amazing

stepdad to my three kids.

Rico: Shannon is always positive and

makes me smile. She’s beautiful inside

and out.

MaryLisa and

Charley Cornell

It may sound “cheesy,” but MaryLisa and

Charley first connected because of their

mutual passion for great cheese. In 2015,

MaryLisa was content with a career she loved

(looking after her herd of goats and owning

Jollity Farm). “Life was good,” she says. But

then it got better! While volunteering with

the Gold Country Dairy Goat Association at a

show, Charley—a fantastic cheesemaker—

sent her a Facebook message. He wanted

to donate cheese to the Jollity Farm raffle

table. From there, they began chatting and

spending time together. A year later, they

got engaged while on a cheese trail journey

along the coast and eventually married

on MaryLisa’s farm surrounded by her

beloved goats.

Favorite date spot: Stumpy Meadows

Reservoir or Marco’s Café for live music.

Secrets to success: Some days you have to

choose the relationship—do you want to be

right, or do you want to be happy?

What's your favorite thing about your

partner? Sense of humor!

Rose & Steven

Gonzales

Rose and Steven’s story is one

of triumph. Despite the odds of

young love (they met in eighth

grade) and teen pregnancy, their

relationship has stood the test

of time. Nearly three decades

later, they cherish the life

they’ve built—with four children,

a grandbaby, and a thriving

business—more than anything.

But getting here was no easy

task. The loss, near-death

experiences, and struggles that

face a young family threatened

to tear them apart. “We

[eventually] realized how much

our marriage meant and really

worked together to be better as

a team,” says Rose.

Favorite date spot: Waking up

early (before the kids), drinking

coffee, and reading in the

same room without talking is

a special connection we have.

Occasionally, we go on lunch

dates to Flame & Fire while the

kids are at school.

Secrets to success: Work as a

team and put pride away; learn

to listen; keep the passion alive;

and find things in common (ours

include going to the gym and

personal development).

What's your favorite thing

about your partner?

Rose: Steven is my biggest

supporter—always pushing

me to be better, encouraging

me, and reminding me of the

possibilities I’m capable of—

continues to “make moves” on

me, and is a great dad!

Steven: Rose always wants to

help other people, strives to be

the best person she can be, and

lives every day trying to make

the world a better place.

Wonderful

Watercolorists

The vibrant yet translucent colors, the flow and

movement, and the simplicity of materials—paper, paint,

water, brush—are some of what makes watercolor both

appealing and challenging. Called to the task, these

masters of the medium are treading the depths of its

range, creating colorful, captivating works.

by HEATHER L. NELSON

Anna Rolin

saatchiart.com/artgoddessmama

Judy Lew Loose

lewloose.com

O

ften utilizing

pointillism—a

technique using tiny dots of

color—Judy Lew Loose

produces stunning pieces

through the fluidity of

watercolor. When asked

how long a painting takes,

Loose shares that she

doesn’t think in terms of

time. “Every dot paints a

tear, and happy dots

heal the soul,” she says.

“There’s nothing like the

flow of water; it’s almost

life itself.”

When were you first

drawn to watercolor?

I was five years old and

in kindergarten when I

accidentally discovered

that yellow and red

paint create orange. I ran

home from school and

told my parents I wanted

to become an artist.

The feeling of mixing

those colors put me on

the path of trusting my

heart enough to endure

rejection in life.

Describe your

artistic process.

Passion and inspiration

for the subject, which

incubates inside my soul.

After preparing a drawing,

I’m ready to paint,

usually upside down and

sideways—developing

intuition, stepping

back, evaluating, and

painting the journey. It’s

challenging, because each

painting is intuitive and

there’s no road map to tell

me where to go.

What inspires you?

I find inspiration with

anything that heals

one’s soul: nature, dogs,

bikes, things that bloom,

buildings, light, and

shadow. When you open

your heart to feelings

and vision there’s a world

of opportunity waiting

for you.

M

oving to Roseville in 2000, Anna

Rolin first studied watercolor

under Pat Abraham, whom she

attributes as one of her biggest

influences. “Right now, I’m following my

own curiosity; the more I paint, the

more I learn,” she shares. “I try to start a

painting before I finish one, so that [I]

always [have something to] work on.”

Why did you choose watercolor?

I love the feeling of dipping my brush

into a well of water and pigment and

watching it spread across the paper

as I paint. Watercolor flows and is

transparent. It’s basically just water,

paint, brushes, and paper—beautifully

simple—but if you have to fix something,

you can only do so much, or your

painting could be ruined.

What advice do you

have for aspiring

artists?

Keep painting; take

classes and see what

other artists are doing;

visit a gallery or

museum; take photos or

collect reference photos

to have ideas for what

to paint next; and buy the

best materials you can afford,

because it makes a difference.

Jo Ella Allen

joellawatercolors.com

J

o Ella Allen has taught

over 100 beginning

watercolorists to fall in love

with the medium. “There’s

a fear out there that

watercoloring is too

difficult—many [aspiring]

artists don’t give it a try.”

Ironically, it

was the

medium's

difficulty

that drew

Allen in.

How

did you

develop

your

skills?

It all began

when I

took a

class and

became

intrigued with the beauty

watercolor can produce. I dedicated

myself to learning the craft and

took numerous classes. Lots of

practice later, and I learned to

master the water, control the

mistakes, and produce works I feel

good about.

What are your favorite aspects

of watercolor?

The flow of the paint, which can

create an ethereal feel; or being able

to switch techniques and produce

a painting of exacting details—the

choice is yours.

Nick Vogt

nrvogtart.com

R

aised on a 240-acre

cattle ranch in Rough

and Ready, Nick Vogt—who’s

been painting since he was

nine years old—was a

founding member of Nevada

City’s Pioneer Arts in the ’60s.

His passion for the region’s

rich Gold Rush history is

reflected in his bold works—

preserving the excitement

and nostalgia of the era.

Describe your process.

After a light sketch and

beginning with the “wet on

wet” approach, I often mix

colors directly onto the

paper. As the paper dries,

I move from soft brush to

dry brush and work from

lighter to darker colors.

Because my subject matter is

representational of landmark

buildings, historic scenes,

or events, my paintings

usually have more detail than

traditional watercolors.

How do you avoid artist's

block?

Everywhere I go, I’m looking

for scenes and imagery for

future paintings. While driving

down the interstate this

morning, I began painting in

my head the beautiful cloud

formation that came to view.

Other times, I'll quickly sketch

or snap photos of antique

automobiles that I see.

9 Tune-Up Tools

Have you had a relationship

checkup lately? Just

like a regular office visit

with your primary care

doctor, relationships need

regular maintenance, too.

We asked local experts

to weigh in on their top

tools for creating a healthy

partnership with a steady

pulse and robust heartbeat.

TAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP’S

1 TEMPERATURE

“Be intentional [by sitting down]

to discuss areas that are working

great and areas that need growth in

your relationship. By creating this

regular routine and choosing your

words wisely, unmet needs can

be tended to more frequently.”

—Ashlee Janzen, MS, LMFT,

2 GROW

TOGETHER

“Think of your

relationship as a team,

and work together to

support each other

and be there when

your partner needs

you the most. You

may have to ask

for that support

and care, as you

can't expect your

partner to know what

you need.” —Joan

FOR


FOSTER THE COUPLE

3 BUBBLE

“In healthy, committed,

romantic relationships, partners

begin to develop safety and security

with each other, and a ‘couple bubble’

begins to form. The idea is that ‘I have

your back and you have mine.’ It also

includes having a shared vision of

the future, navigating life’s challenges

together instead of individually, and

taking each other’s distress seriously.

A good place to start when thinking of

your couple bubble is by questioning

how you show up for one another in

private (and in public!) and getting

curious if your actions or words

are creating security or insecurity

in your partner.” —Jennifer Moffat,

AMFT, PACT Level 1 Couples Therapist,

jennifermoffatmft.com

YOU CAN’T FIX WHAT

4 YOU DON’T

UNDERSTAND

“No one likes to be fixed, but we all

desire to feel understood. Approach

differences with genuine interest.

Imagine what it's like to be your partner

and ask questions to find out. Once you

have a grasp of their perspective, reflect

it back to them and ask if you're on the

right track to understanding.” —Holly

Spotts, PsyD, fullcupwellness.com

COMMIT TO

5 CONNECTION

“Partners with busy schedules

often become ships passing in the

night. To maintain connection with

each other, I teach my couples how

to offer bids for connection, both

verbal and nonverbal, from physical

touch to asking for help on a project.

Some ideas can be as small as a kiss

or hug goodbye as you leave for the

day, a thoughtful text that you’re

thinking about them, or engaging in

a lingering hug when you’re reunited

after being apart. The idea is for these

bids for connection to help us stay

emotionally connected to each other

despite the many different directions

we can be pulled in.” —Jennifer Moffat,

AMFT, PACT Level 1 Couples Therapist,

jennifermoffatmft.com

6

SAY WHAT YOU WANT

“Don't say what you don't like or

don't want, but rather say what

you do want. For example, if you're feeling

disconnected from your partner and

want more of their time and attention,

an example might be to ask for the

following: ‘I'd like to spend some time,

maybe 15-30 minutes each night, talking

about our day together just the two of

us.’” —Joan Druckman, PhD, Licensed

Psychologist and Certified EFT Couples

Therapist, drjoandruckman.com

RESPOND WHEN CALM

7

“We all get triggered, especially

by our partners. When this

happens, press pause. Take a moment to

ask yourself what emotion you're feeling

and where it's coming from. Take some

deep breaths until you're feeling calmer

and then respond.” —Holly Spotts, PsyD,

fullcupwellness.com

FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION

8

“Notice where your

relationship might need some

additional focus and put some effort

into growing that area. Most of us

know about the value of date nights,

but relationships also require daily

attention, even if it’s just giving each

other five minutes of undivided

positive attention in the morning and/

or at night, and when you reunite at

the end of the day. Try not to make

your relationship the last thing on

your to-do list.” —Joan Druckman,

PhD, Licensed Psychologist and

Certified EFT Couples Therapist,

drjoandruckman.com

STOP ASSUMING

9

“We make so many

assumptions about the

relationship and the person we’re in it

with; especially if we’ve been with our

partner for a long time. Instead, we

should approach our partners from

a posture of wanting to understand

them better. Life experiences change

us. Assumptions can lead us down

a very long and misunderstood

path.” —Ashlee Janzen, MS, LMFT,

Caples Lake to

by RYAN MARTINEZ

Emigrant Lake

LOCATED IN:

Kirkwood.

DISTANCE:

9.6 miles out-and-back.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL:

Moderate to hard.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

This is a snowshoe hike

in wintertime, which

adds to its difficulty;

come prepared with

snowshoes, gaiters, plenty

of warm layers (including a

windbreaker), sunglasses,

and ample water. Don’t

cross frozen lakes unless

you’re familiar with how

to protect yourself,

and download the map

beforehand, as service

wanes. A permit is required

from the Carson Pass

Management Area. Finally,

remember to Leave No

Trace.

FUEL UP:

Enjoy no-frills American

fare (burgers, sandwiches,

chili cheese dogs, etc.) and

$3 Modelo drafts in relaxed

mountain environs at 7800

Bar & Grill (kirkwood7800.

com) sited at Kirkwood

Mountain Resort.

WHY WE LOVE IT:

A challenging snowshoe

adventure in the

mountains is always fun;

and, when the snow melts,

the area boasts some of

the Sierra’s best wildflower

blooms.

How to

Cross a

Frozen

Lake

1

Check with locals. Area

authorities should be

able to tell you current

safety conditions.

2

Carry “ice claws” in an

accessible pocket. These

will help you pull yourself

out from freezing water

and onto the ice if you

take an unexpected

polar plunge.

3

Tread lightly and keep

your distance. Wear

skis or snowshoes and

walk with at least 15-25

meters between your

partners so you don’t all

fall in if the ice breaks.

4

Check ice thickness

frequently. Every 150

feet or so, use an ice

axe to break through

it and test thickness.

If cracking occurs,

return to shore. Blue

ice is safest; white

ice indicates melting

and more dangerous

conditions.

If you fall in, stay

calm, ditch the skis/

snowshoes, swim to

the edge, and use your

ice claws to help you

up while kicking hard.

Once enough of you is

on the ice, stay in a lying

position and roll yourself

away from the breakage.

Seek dry clothes,

shelter, and hot water

immediately.

We teach basic math facts through first-year calculus

in a friendly, fun environment where students

earn prizes for working hard. An initial assessment

determines exactly what a student knows about

math and generates a detailed curriculum which

can advance the student one grade level in just 10

needs to do is show up (that’s on you, parents!) and

try. We take care of the rest.

Students don’t really hate math; what they hate is

feeling left behind. Enrollment in Mathnasium can

change all that, because when students succeed

in math, their confidence soars! Parents are

always surprised when their students beg to go to

Mathnasium because it’s “fun”! So give your child a

chance and enroll today at the Mathnasium Center

Must-Have Headphones

Under $500

by TERRY CARROLL

From wired to wireless, in-ear,

over-ear, and more, there are so

many choices when it comes to

headphones. Here are three standouts

at their respective price points…

Grado SR60X

The entry-level SR60X

is, in my opinion, the

single best value in stereo

headphones. At $99,

they’re almost magical

in the sound they deliver.

They're also handsome,

with an open-air design that never feels fatiguing,

and can connect with both your phone and home

audio system. gradolabs.com

TIGER'S EYE

SKIN CARE

You may be wondering why a Native American

Clay Exfoliation from The Tiger’s Eye Skincare

is different from a traditional facial? Clay

is versatile. It can be used on almost

all skin types. Some of the great

minerals in clay include magnesium,

calcium and iron, all of which help

with the production of collagen in

the skin. As skin is exfoliated with

clay, impurities from the skin are

surfaced; pores shrink and dead

cells become finer. We offer

a variety of traditional Native

American skin care treatments for

men, women and children.

From the moment you

open the package, you can

see and feel what can only

And that description

carries on in the sound

they produce. These also

hit way above their weight class, delivering crystalclear

sound when listening to everything from Bach

and are available in a variety of colors; at $399, they

hit all the right notes. bowerswilkins.com

HIFIMAN Edition XS

I was telling a friend that

I wanted to buy a pair of

headphones, something

that would offer me

an immersive sound

experience when plugged

into my audio system and

an alternative to my floor

standing speakers at 1 a.m. Without skipping a beat,

he recommended the HIFIMAN Edition XS planar

headphones. As I was listening to some of my favorite

records, it felt like I was hearing them for the first

time. For $499, they’re a tremendous value and are

incredibly comfortable, even after hours of wear.

WHAT MAKES

A GREAT

MATTRESS?

Celebrating

20 YEARS in

Business!

Photo ©Татьяна Кочкина - stock.adobe.com

Q: What should I take into

consideration when deciding to

do pet hospice?

A: When your pet is diagnosed with

a terminal condition, it’s important

to understand disease progression

and ways to maintain their quality

of life. A discussion with your

veterinarian can help make sure

your pet is kept comfortable with

pain medication or adaptations at

home. When pain can no longer

be managed, your pet is immobile,

they no longer enjoy their favorite

activities, the bad days outnumber

the good, or there is risk of

traumatic death, then timing of

euthanasia should be considered.

Lastly, it’s important to prepare

your family members, as not

everyone may agree, due to beliefs

surrounding euthanasia, guilt over

primary caretaker responsibility,

and inability or unwillingness to

accept declining quality of life. In

addition, children experience grief

differently depending on age and

sensitivity.

Feels Like Home

Wow-Worthy

Before & After

by KOURTNEY JASON

Before

El Dorado Hills resident Lisa P. has been

renovating her home, room by room,

for more than a decade—and she’s hired

local Granite Bay firm Designs With You

In Mind (designswithyouinmind.net) for

each and every project.

Before the refresh, her home

featured traditional brown finishes

and was starting to feel dated; not to

mention, it was no longer functioning

for her family’s daily routine. Cathy

Tonks of Designs With You In

Mind stepped in to complete the

transformation, which resulted in a

home that boasts a transitional style

with a calming feel.

“Our overarching goal was to make

sure everything we did flowed to allow

our clients to entertain guests in luxury,”

Tonks says. “Like all our projects, we

also used the finest materials and top

appliance brands.”

Tonks’ design needed to improve the

house’s overall function. Her solutions

included turning the rarely-used

formal dining room into an inspiring

home office; taking a section of the

downstairs area to create a “lady cave,”

which provides an escape for Lisa to

relax and unwind; installing new floors

throughout the home; creating an openconcept

layout to better connect the

kitchen, dining room, and living room;

and maximizing the available bright

natural light whenever possible.

For the kitchen renovation, Tonks

says the cabinet layout was working

well, and both the cabinets and

hardware were in excellent condition,

so they modified and painted the

cabinets for a refresh. Additionally, they added soft-close

hinges into the kitchen cabinets and drawers for an elevated

feeling while also protecting the cabinet finishes. They also

replaced the kitchen hood over the range—though when it

was removed, the intake was offset, so they built a soffit and

facade to make it work. Other kitchen upgrades included new

tile, countertops, crown molding, and baseboards. The cool

color palette added to it was then continued into the adjacent

living room, where the design team added new window

coverings, furnishings, artwork, and plants to create a cozy

and comfortable gathering space.

The home has bonus rooms downstairs, including a second

family room that contained a kitchenette and a bed. Lisa’s son

was staying in this room, which was inconvenient when the

family had guests over. “Her son needed his own space, so we

moved a major wall out, giving the homeowners’ better access

to the kitchenette and a space for their son with a full ensuite

SAVE-THE-DATE

bathroom, plus Lisa’s ‘lady cave,’ and a powder room,” Tonks

says. “We infused some of the client’s personality into the

powder bath through custom wallpaper and photos of her two

adorable pups.”

Moving outdoors, they created a space for Lisa to entertain

off the pool. “We gave the family an upscale coastal-style

kitchen, [and in the] back patio area off the pool, installed

herringbone porcelain tile with texture to prevent slipping,

painted existing railing, added new furniture, and painted the

home’s exterior.”

One of the more recent projects was the upstairs renovation,

which had a four-to-five-month timeline. “We redid both

daughters’ bedrooms and updated the jack-n-jill bathroom,”

Tonks says. “Specifically, we removed the bathtub and replaced

it with a tiled shower, painted the cabinets, and updated the

hardware with soft-close hinges.”

Lisa’s home is now a calming oasis perfect for entertaining

her friends and family. “I highly recommend working

with Designs With You In Mind!” Lisa says. “I have worked

with Cathy for over 10 years to slowly transform my entire

house into my dream space. She has an amazing gift of

understanding people’s personal styles but also stretching it

beyond anything you could ever imagine!”


An Evening of Insight (EOI) is not just about raising money, it’s about raising

awareness. EOI is a unique event that brings people together to not only learn more

about A Touch of Understanding and the impact we make on children’s lives every

day, but to also experience, albeit briefly, what it would be like to live with a disability.

We take our guests on a journey through an evening meal with friends as we explore

what it might be like to eat without sight.

Darlene O’Brien, inspirational speaker and long-time ATOU Board member,

successfully guides our guests through a meal under blindfold. Darlene brings over

twenty years of experience in joyfully navigating her own life’s journey with blindness.

For over 26 years, ATOU has been helping children understand, appreciate and

respect one another, despite differences. Our workshops help schoolchildren accept

and include their peers with disabilities and those who seem different for any reason.

These workshops improve the way students relate to themselves and others. One

student said it best, “I get it now! I can be a buddy, not a bully!”

An Evening of Insight is just that…an evening full of insight where our guests get to

shortly experience the life of someone else and realize ATOU’s mission of spreading

the message of kindness, understanding and respect amongst our children and

communities with our award-winning workshops.

A Cut Above the Rest

Sizzling

Steaks

by SHARON PENNY

photos by TAYLOR GILLESPIE

What’s your love language? Physical touch or words

of affirmation? For me, it’s steak. As a discerning

and diehard steak lover, you have a trusted source,

and the feeling is that straying into the unknown

is risky. What if you go somewhere new and they give

you a well-done steak? (Perish the thought!) Worse: what

if it’s (dun dun dunn) tenderized? (Muffled screaming.) Fear not,

steak lovers, I’m here to help. Let me guide you through the “high

steaks” world of restaurants and point you to the classiest regional

establishments that take the art of steak seriously: I’m talking low

risk, high reward. Sharpen your steak knives…feasting awaits!

“You’ll look sweet upon the

seat of my Tomahawk

Chop for Two.” That’s

how the classic song goes,

right? High Steaks

Steakhouse at Thunder

Valley Casino wants you

to cozy up with your

dining partner for this

deeply carnivorous meal

of delicious, ribeye steak

on the bone. Weighing in

at a whopping 48 ounces, it

comes with complimentary

sauce options like au

poivre (peppercorn) or

beurre blanc (if you’re

feeling especially saucy);

you can also go wild with

amazing add-ons, like Point

Reyes blue cheese crust or

shaved seasonal truffles.

Just make sure you order

some sides to share, like

the au gratin potatoes or

romesco brussels sprouts,

and please peep the

dessert menu if you’re into

cheesecake. As George

Takei would say: “Oh my.”

La Provence Restaurant & Terrace has been

bringing the flavors of the French Mediterranean to

the Sacramento region for 19 years, so they clearly

know what they’re doing, when it comes to cuisine.

French vacation on your wish list? Well, pack up

your taste buds! You’ll be whisked away on a culinary

odyssey with their Petit Chateau: a tender,

succulent fire-grilled petite tenderloin enveloped

in a red wine demi-glace that comes with roasted

garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a

Provençal tomato. Appetizer-wise, be like Captain Kirk

on vacation and “boldly go”: try the escargot, sautéed

in a Provençal herb compound butter with toasted

brioche, or say bonsoir to frog legs, marinated in

basil with a crispy panko crust, Aleppo pepper beurre

blanc, Meyer lemon beurre blanc, and a petite salad of

arugula with pickled onions. Bon appetit!

C. Knight’s Steakhouse

harkens back to an era of dark

wood interiors, suits, and the

Glenn Miller Orchestra, when

steakhouses were the height of

fine dining and not the haven

of denim and crayons that they

are today. Ensconce yourself

in a cozy booth, hit up your

bartender for an Old Fashioned,

and try Chuck’s Prime

Porterhouse: 24 ounces of

grain-fed Angus beef that’s dryaged

and served on a buttery,

500-degree plate, this steak

will haunt your dreams in the

best possible way for years to

come. Feel free to gild the lily

with some add-ons, like a fried

egg or creamy horseradish;

and be sure to indulge in

some decadent sides, like their

legendary “Green Phunque,”

aka, the tastiest cream of

spinach you’ve ever had,

featuring smoky bacon and

three types of mushrooms,

topped with aged cheddar,

and broiled till bubbly. I know,

right? Oh, and don’t sleep on

the bacon brussels sprouts

gratin appetizer either. We

know you’ve got room—there’s

always room.

Land Ocean has a

hearty variety of steak

options, but there’s

no shame in being

normcore: You can

never go wrong with

their classic 14-ounce

New York Strip

(the equally flavorful,

slightly healthier sibling

of the ribeye). Cooked

to perfection, it comes

with mashed potatoes,

grilled asparagus, garlic

mushrooms, onion

rings, and herb butter

(honestly, what more

could you want?). Allow

me to back up for a

moment, however; when

it comes to appetizers,

I’m all about the

tenderloin wellingtons

featuring delicious meat

encased in pastry with

brandy peppercorn

sauce and béarnaise.

A must-devour dish,

indeed.

“Filet all day”—that’s what the shabby chic sign in my living room says.

Folsom’s Sutter Street Steakhouse has you in good hands if

you’re a filet fan (who isn’t?). Their certified Black Angus Filet (six or

12-ounce) is specially prepared at temperatures more than 1,000 degrees,

which means two things when it’s cooked medium rare: juicy and

delicious. Your tender filet comes with garlic mashed potatoes and herb

compound butter, and you could do worse than add some tasty cheddar

potato cakes, sautéed spinach, or asparagus on the side. But let’s talk

appetizers: I wholeheartedly recommend starting with the warm brie

and bacon jam with arugula and grilled ciabatta. Oh mama. And maybe,

just maybe, finishing things off with a vanilla bean crème brulée. I’m not

going to tell you your life. You know in your heart it’s only right.

Flame & Fire offers the ultimate steak

experience, thanks to the Brazilian cuisine known

as churrascaria, where cowboys or “gauchos” slowroast

beef from their cattle herds over a flame pit

or “churrasco” and carve it at the table to show

their skill. At Flame & Fire, roving servers bring

huge skewers of barbecued meats to the table and

carve it directly onto your plate. And when I say

skewers, what I really mean are swords. And I’m

not just talking any old steak, either. I’m talking

Tomahawk, Picanha (prime-cut sirloin), Bife

de Alho (garlic steak), Maminha com Queijo

(tri-tip with cheese), and Filet Mignon! Plus,

you’ll gorge on a veritable feast of accompanying

sides like seasonal cold salads, Brazilian specialties,

charcuterie, and my favorite: pao de queijo (Brazilian

cheese bread), aka, the definition of deliciousness.

And this bountiful feast is best accompanied with

Brazil’s national drink, the Caipirinha, a dangerously

delicious signature cocktail made with cachaça,

sugar, and lime. Que bonito!

Q1227 is a relative newcomer to Roseville, but this chef-driven restaurant has been

making big waves ever since opening four months into the pandemic. It says right

there on the wall “food is our language of love”—folks, this is a restaurant that gets

us. Elevated comfort food is what they’re about, and steak-wise, you’re in truly good

hands: there’s excellent a la carte Angus beef, like the three-ounce Japanese wagyu,

18-ounce cowboy ribeye, and 10-ounce filet tenderloin. But the secret steak star of

the menu is the Ribeye Cap: all the flavor of a ribeye with the delicateness of a

tenderloin, aka, the kind of steak your butcher keeps for themselves because it’s so

good. Chef Q cooks it to juicy perfection and serves it atop a mouthwatering mix

of fire-roasted tomatoes, garden fresh spinach, wild mushrooms, and Maldon Sea

Salt. If you’re feeling fancy, you can add fresh-shaved Velarde truffles (when available).

Speaking of appetizers, it’s my moral duty to inform you of the Q1227 Chicken Fried

Lobster Bites, served with creole remoulade and Chef Q’s season all. Don’t cry when

it’s over, smile because it happened. Or just order double.

Good things come in small packages, like filet

mignon from Henry’s Steakhouse at

Red Hawk Casino. Try their hardwood grilled

Filet Mignon Florentine: six ounces of

pure perfection alongside mashed potatoes,

spinach, beef reduction, and crispy onions.

When it comes to sides, it’s hard to resist the

siren song of their house macaroni and cheese

(you’re only human!), but the Old Bay wedge

fries are comfort food at its finest and should

be mandatory—especially if you worship Old

Bay Seasoning like I do. And when it comes

to dessert names, let’s just say Henry’s has

a flair for understatement. “Chocolate and

Nuts”? I mean, I guess. Unless it’s house-made

chocolate malt ice cream, crème anglaise,

brownie, brown butter almond cake, candied

nuts, and whipped cream. Well, why didn’t you

say so? Sign me up!

The downstairs converted-cellar restaurant

at the Smith Flat House was once the

opening to the Blue Lead Mine dating back

to the 1800s. Fast forward to today, and the

atmospheric setting is perfect for a coldweather

meal, like the truly mouthwatering

14-ounce Choice-Cut Ribeye with slowroasted

marble potatoes, butter-fried French

breakfast radish, and whipped garlic butter.

And if we’re talking appetizers, you could do

worse than start your meal in the lap of the

gods with a baked camembert: puff pastrywrapped

Marin French camembert with

orange marmalade, honey lemon vinaigrette,

arugula, candied ginger, and grilled housemade

bread. The best part? You won’t have to

work nearly as hard to strike it rich!

What lesser-known

cuts of beef do you

recommend?

Flat irons are incredibly

underrated. They’re

tender, flavorful, and

cheaper than more

common cuts (like

ribeyes and New York)

but can be cooked the

same way.

What cuts give people

the most bang for their

buck?

The Boston butt, which

is a pork shoulder; you

can make it into pulled

pork or pork steaks. For

beef, cross-rib roasts,

which can be barbecued

and are incredibly

tender if you buy prime.

Chicken legs are also

priced well and taste

good!

Top steak cooking tips?

Don’t over-season it!

Salt, pepper, and garlic

should be enough to

bring out the meat’s

best flavor. Also, always

use a thermometer to

get your preferred steak

doneness; even the best

chefs use them.

Casey King

Kings Meats, 787 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond

Springs, 530-497-5398, kingsmeats.net

How long have you been a butcher?

Almost 30 years.

Top beef-buying tip?

Ask your butcher! Most are knowledgeable and can assist with

finding the perfect cut and offering cooking instructions. When

selecting a steak, it’s about the marbling (the white specks that

add all the flavor and juiciness) and if the “right” fats are left

on the steak. When you cook your steak over high heat, those

specks of fat leave pockets in the meat that aid in its tenderness.

What lesser-known cuts of beef do you recommend?

Bistro filets (aka teres major)—small steaks that come from

the front shoulder clod; in my opinion, they’re one of the most

versatile and tender cuts at a price that’s right. They’re lean and

great grilled on the BBQ, sliced thin for stir fry, cut for stew meat,

or added to chili, stroganoff, or fajitas.

What cuts give people the most bang for their buck?

Cross-rib roasts come from the front shoulder of a steer and are

an under-utilized cut that’s surprisingly tender and incredibly

flavorful.

Top steak cooking tips?

Keep it simple. Lightly rub extra virgin olive oil on the steak and

season it with kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper.

My favorite steak is a New York strip loin served at medium

temperature with a hard sear on the outside; the flavor and

tenderness are unmatched. The “chew” of the steak is also

important; you want something that offers flavor and tenderness

without feeling like you’re doing cardio! With that said, doneness

of steaks is widely subjective and is not “one size fits all.”

Buying local beef is a great way to support our

region’s farmers and enjoy high-quality, pastureraised

protein that’s full of flavor and nutrition.

Fun fact: Cameron Park’s The Snooty Frog first opened in 1983. They took a break

in the middle but managed to reopen in their original Burke Junction location in 2008

and have been going strong ever since. With a menu comprised of only the freshest

ingredients and quality cuts of meat, “The Frog” is still a local favorite. The hit menu

item is their Sizzling Filet: tender prime-cut filet mignon with sautéed mushrooms

and red mashed potatoes, served directly from the grill to the table on a piping hot

sizzle platter. (It’s also the house specialty, and you can see why.) If you fancy walking on

the decadent side for starters, then the baked brie with crostini is calling your name.

Since 2011, Placerville’s The Independent Restaurant & Bar has been serving up

high-quality cuisine and libations. A local favorite is the Niman Ranch Ribeye, 14

ounces of hand-cut, marbled meat served with a demi-glace and flash-fried onion rings—a

mouthwatering “big ole steak” cooked to perfection that cuts like butter. I’m also in love with

the truffled mac and cheese, but don’t be fooled, their turnip fries are a head-turner (you

read that right). If you favor a cocktail to accompany your classic ribeye, might I recommend

kicking it old-school in a new-school way with the Smoked Molasses Old Fashioned: Four

Roses Single Barrel Bourbon, Angostura bitters, hickory smoked molasses syrup, and a

flamed orange peel. When it comes to dessert, I’m very much into the silky-smooth and

dangerously decadent chocolate pot de crème with mocha whipped cream. Divine!

629 Main Street, Placerville, 530-344-7645, independentplacerville.com

El Dorado’s Poor Red's Bar-B-Q is

another historic locale, and these folks

serve up liquid gold in the form of their

signature cocktail the Golden Cadillac,

invented all the way back in 1952 when

the bar was in its infancy. Decades

later, they’re still pouring liquid gold

for locals and serving up delicious,

barbecued steak, chicken, and ribs (just

like the original sign says), with a menu

that favors locally sourced ingredients

and quality meat. The true mark of a

great barbecued steak is when it can

make the humbler cuts of beef sing,

and Poor Red’s Blackened Spiced

Flank Steak can more than carry

a tune. An eight-ounce flank steak

topped with chili lime compound

butter and cilantro, served with their

house salad, a baked potato, and

seasonal vegetables, your taste buds

will be singing along with it! Make sure

you order one (or more) of the Golden

Cadillacs (a smooth, golden-colored

blend of crème de cacao, Galliano, and

half-and-half) to go with your flavorful

steak. And don’t sleep on the housemade

cinnamon rolls for dessert!

La

Popular

Charred Whole Fish Divorciados

The manifestations of our collective

human culture are rarely as

ubiquitously loved as food. The

culinary arts tap into eons-old (and

modern) traditions and deliver a primal

gratification that simultaneously satisfy

both the caveman and the aristocrat within us all.

Some cuisines, however, infuse a rich

history and cultural tradition into their flavors,

transporting you to different times and places. Few

cuisines do this more than Mexican.

Newly opened La Popular is a collaboration between

Grupo Carolo (one of Mexico City’s most recognized

restauranteurs) and the local Eureka! Group. Led by

Chef César de la Parra from Mexico City, the menu is an

upscale take on Mexican classics that evoke the origins

of the gastronomy as well as the country’s cultural

nuances—inspiring us to share and forget our worries

until mañana. Authentic staples are elevated by a chefdriven

evolution and served in lively, lush environs


alongside warm, welcoming service.

The drink menu is an impressive

modern craft cocktail experience that

brings the tastiest old-world spirits into

the contemporary era using up-to-theminute

bartending techniques—think

smoke bubbles that pop with a whisp on

lemongrass to infuse your Oaxacan rum,

like in the showstopping Oaxacan Jellyfish,

which also comes with pineapple, lime,

blue lemongrass, and coconut cream. With

over 80 labels of tequilas and mezcals, you

can bet they know how to mix up a stellar

margarita, too.

Appetizers include an innovative take

on familiar favorites, like chipotle bean

dip, nachos with hand-cut tortilla chips,

heirloom tomato & oyster mushroom

ceviche, and queso fundido with chorizo

alongside house-made tortillas.

The street tacos are also a must-try. I

was swayed from my normal go-to after

reading the description of the ribeye

offering: “ribeye and handmade corn

tortillas…that’s it, trust us.” So, I took the

Churros

Queso Fundido con Chorizo

Ribeye Fajitas

Desert Rose

leap of faith. The ribeye was delicious,

though the tortilla seemed slightly too

large for the dish. The house salsas were

flavorful, too, and I loved that the simple

tacos encouraged me to add the garnishes

in a traditional Mexican street taco way. A

huge thumbs-up for authenticity.

I also tried the charred whole fish

divorciados (the red adobo was much

tastier than the green, in my opinion), the

ribeye fajitas (a non-traditional staple—

charred jalapeños and potatoes topped

with melted manchego, bacon, guacamole,

sour cream, and pico de gallo—with

a most markedly upscale flavor), and

the habanero BBQ ribs (another nottraditional

take executed beautifully).

While the menu was overall fantastic, I

couldn’t do justice to the experience without

elaborating on the drinks. The agave-inspired

cocktails boast techniques I’ve only seen on

the recent Netflix series Drink Masters—from

“caviar” pearls to infused smoke bubbles.

Each boozy beverage expounds on an agave

spirit and adds a clever craft twist. Again, I was

tempted with a minimal description of the

Yucatán Toucan (“clarified mezcal punch…

trust the jungle bird”) and immediately

ordered one. It was amazing. I also tried the

Desert Rose—a balanced cocktail full of

warmth, freshness, tartness, and sweetness—

that included cinnamon-infused Licor 43,

hibiscus lime-infused tequila, mezcal, prickly

pear, pomegranate, and lemon.

For dessert, the tres leches cake and

churros tied a pretty, Mexican bow on the

entire experience. While they weren’t jawdropping,

they were simple and sweet.

Overall, La Popular surprised with

their ability to make the old new and

brought an experience worthy of any

modern foodie’s praise.

Say “aloha” to your new favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot: Big Island Hawaiian

BBQ, where everything is made to order using fresh ingredients. It’s like

being in Hawaii...without having to pack, catch a flight, and shake sand

out of your clothes. They offer so many different dishes, it’s hard to

choose. Fortunately, their family meals feed four and come inclusive of rice,

mac salad, shredded cabbage, and two proteins, like the popular kalua pork

and chicken katsu (both great choices!). My personal pick? The Kalua Island

Fries, because fries—especially with creamy sriracha mayo and a heaping

helping of shredded, pull-apart pork—are always a good idea. For the main

attraction, choose from katsu chicken curry, kalbi short ribs, spam & eggs, or

loco moco, to name a few. I went with the Teriyaki Chicken Plate, and their

sauce (all sauces are crafted in-house, btw!) was one of the best I’ve had.

Portions are generous, so if you’re looking for something a little smaller, go

for their “Make It Mini” plates; or, for littles, one of the kids’ meals. Oh, and

don’t forget the appetizers! Because crispy shrimp, pan-fried potstickers, and

lumpia are always a delicious idea.

Blend Is In

5 BEST BOTTLES by

MEGAN WISKUS

“Blends are a great way for winemakers to express their style,” says Philip Hughes,

general manager at Sierra Vista Vineyards & Winery. “You can bring whatever grapes

you want to the party to adjust dryness, acid, alcohol, tannin, body, fruitiness,

and flavor.” Phil Maddux, owner/winemaker at Lone Buffalo Vineyards, agrees.

“Europeans, who've been making wine for 2,000 years, know that blending

generally results in a better and more consistent wine because it allows

the winemaker to compensate for deficiencies in a vintage

year or in a single varietal. In America, where we've only

been making wine for 200 years, we’re just beginning to

appreciate the advantages of blending.”

Keep reading for five of our locally made

favorites.

Elevation

2800 Red

AVAILABLE AT: Sierra

Vista Vineyards & Winery,

4560 Cabernet Way,

Placerville, 530-622-7221,

sierravistawinery.com

ABV: 14.5% PRICE: $21

Named for the vineyard’s

elevation, this red wine

has juicy aromas of plum,

cherry, and raspberry

along with dried flowers

and notes of mountain

forest pine. Rich and

juicy on the palate yet

smooth and delicious, it’s

a mountain-grown vino

of elevated quality and

an “Editor’s Choice” from

Wine Enthusiast.

2019 Crazy Horse

AVAILABLE AT: Lone

Buffalo Vineyards,

7505 Wise Road,

Auburn, 530-823-1159,

lonebuffalovineyards.com

ABV: 14.3% PRICE: $36

A proprietary blend of

three wines from three of

the world’s greatest, albeit

disparate, wine regions—

tempranillo (Spain),

malbec (Bordeaux and

Argentina) and syrah (the

Rhone Valley)—results

in a uniquely delightful

vino featuring flavors of

dark berries and juicy

pomegranate. Bold, fruitforward,

rustic, and spicy,

it’s a “crazy good blend”

worth uncorking.

2021 Three

Sisters

AVAILABLE AT: Helwig

Winery, 11555 Shenandoah

Road, Plymouth, 209-245-

5200, helwigwinery.com

ABV: 13.9% PRICE: $32

Meyer lemon and

apricot dominate the

palate with orange zest,

brioche, coriander, and

a lovely toasty finish in

this wine that won “Best

White Rhone Blend” at

the 2022 San Francisco

International Wine Tasting

Competition. Comprised

of marsanne, roussanne,

and viognier grapes,

and aged in French oak

barrels for approximately

18 months, it’s incredibly

food-friendly and pairs

best alongside richer

poultry and seafood

dishes.

Four Corners

Red Blend

AVAILABLE AT: Belledor

Vineyards, 13391

Shenandoah Road,

Plymouth, 209-680-6008,

belledor.com

ABV: 14.9% Price: $30

Featuring delicious

aromas of baked pear,

cranberry, and fresh

strawberries on the nose;

with flavors of cherry,

violet, blackberry, pepper,

and blueberries, this

unique red blend is a

combination of the “four

corners” of the Belledor

property—sauvignon

blanc (45%), zinfandel

(35%), tempranillo (10%),

and barbera (10%)—and

an exquisite expression

of the vineyard’s

wines. Fermented in a

combination of American

and French oak barrels, as

well as stainless steel, it’s a

lighter vino that’s perfect

for any occasion.

2018 Estate Clone

877.4.369.362

AVAILABLE AT:

Miraflores Winery,

2120 Four Springs Trail,

Placerville,

530-647-8505,

mirafloreswinery.com

ABV: 14.4% PRICE: $32

This wine is an exquisite

expression of Rhone

varietals (grenache,

syrah, mourvèdre, and

petite sirah) blended

to show respect for the

tradition of the region,

while maintaining a truly

vivid expression of El

Dorado terroir. “Clone”

refers to the slight genetic

variations of a single

varietal, and the clones

that Miraflores planted

were chosen specifically

for their ability to thrive in

the area’s terroir. Elegant

and sophisticated, each

sip offers an impeccable

balance of tannins,

spiciness, fruit, and

acidity.

LIST

THE

CoOL

CONEs

by CAITLIN MCCULLOCH

From kale and cupcakes to butter boards, there always

seems to be a new food fad hitting our “feeds.” One of the

latest cool kids on the block? Cones! Classically fabulous

with a scoop of ice cream, there’s a whole new world of

cone-shaped food offerings to explore. No matter what

flavor profile you’re craving, here are six fantastic finds.

Millionaire

Cone

Feel like a million

bucks without having

to spend it when

you order this savory

option from Cluck N

Cone. A waffle cone

(made from the familyowned

establishment’s

proprietary recipe)

is filled with chicken

tenders that have been

braised for 16 hours—

the perfect time to

ensure the chicken is

neither mushy nor dry,

according to Cluck N

Cone creator Laura

Garcia. Next comes

the millionaire (and

mouthwatering!)

bacon, which gets

rubbed with spices

and candied brown

sugar, then triple

smoked, and baked

for 30 minutes.

Creamy avocado,

crisp lettuce, and cool

ranch balance out the

masterpiece.

1485 Eureka Road, Suite

150, Roseville, 916-918-1153,

cluckncone.com

Charcuterie Cone

Are you hosting a party, baby

shower, or just want something

fun for a girls’ night? Look no

further than a charcuterie cone

from The Dancer’s Pantry.

No one will have to awkwardly

gaze at the last bites on a

communal table, as everyone

gets plenty of their own portions.

Nutty Professor

At Historic Folsom’s Sweet Dozen Cones, you

won’t find classic cake or waffle cones; Europeanstyle

chimney cones reign supreme. A cross between

a churro and a donut would make for a delectable

treat on its own, but we recommend trying the Nutty

Professor: a chimney cone filled with walnuts, peanut

butter, and chocolate gelato, then topped with

granola and Oreo crumbles. If all this isn't enough

to satisfy your sweet tooth craving, the creation is

finished off with a Nutter Butter cookie. It may be

filling enough to share—but you likely won't want to!

807 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-358-9832, foodiecones.com

There’s a little bit of everything—

from brie and sharp cheddar,

to manchego, salami, crackers,

and in-season fruits and

veggies—all tucked into an ecofriendly

bamboo cone. If you

need a non-dairy option, those

are available, too.

11226 Gold Express Drive, Suite 203, Gold

River, 916-541-0619, thedancerspantry.

Chipotle Mayo Chicken

Though this savory-meets-sweet option comes from a small food truck,

Bubblecone, the flavors and portion sizes are big and bold. Your journey starts

with a house-made egg puff waffle cone that’s subtly crisped on the edges but soft

and chewy inside. It’s then filled with crispy yet tender chicken pieces and generously

drizzled with chipotle mayo. The whole creation gets topped with crushed red pepper

flakes and green onions for a slightly spicy finish. Find the truck every Sunday at the

Folsom Premium Outlets or visit their website for upcoming events and locations.

Hard Swerve

Can’t decide between a boozy beverage or soft serve for dessert? For

those 21 and over who would like a refreshing new way to experience hard

kombucha, this one’s for you. At Shorebirds Brewing Co., a traditional

cake cone meets a towering swirl of alcoholic soft serve that’s made using

one of the brewery’s rotating hard kombucha flavors, like blackberry

thyme or “apple of my chai.” The tasty treats range from having an ABV of

4-8%, so be sure to inquire before deciding how many servings (or licks!)

you’d like. What’s more, the soft serve itself is vegan and gluten-free.

11327 Trade Center Drive, Suite 355, Rancho Cordova, 916-898-2419, drinkshorebirds.com.

Black Sesame

Swirl

This ice cream cone

from Tokyo Cream

is anything but basic.

The adventure starts

with a house-made

cookie cone that’s

Oreo-based with

some activated

charcoal to give it

a distinctive dark

color (it’s said to

contain some cool

health properties,

too, like helping

with digestion).

Black sesame ice

cream—made from

organic milk—is then

swirled together with

Hokkaido milk ice

cream. The highquality

Japanese

milk has a nutty

flavor with a light,

creamy texture that

isn’t quite as heavy as

traditional American

ice cream, making it

the perfect pick-meup

noon, or night!
