Style Magazine - November 2023
As someone who enjoys cooking—and the economical, health, and therapeutic benefits that come with it—dining out is a real rarity. It’s also a real treat, particularly for my two future foodies who think restaurants are (almost) as cool as Christmas. When I do depart my own kitchen, however, I crave dishes that are challenging (for me) to replicate at home—recipes that require ample ingredients and effort (croissants, curry, sushi, etc.). I also gravitate toward “happy meals”—not the kind from the Golden Arches—but food (and an ambiance!) that’s fun, encourages interaction, and gives people permission to play. After all, food—just like life—shouldn't be taken too seriously. Curious which cuisines allow this type of experiential eating and where, locally, you can savor the flavors? Turn to “The Hot List” (page 86) for some can’t-miss meals, including molcajete (a tastier, more filling version of fajitas), hot pot (the ultimate winter warmer) and fondue (yes, please, to melted cheese!). If you’re seeking some more traditional dishes and dining destinations, check out “Where the Chefs Eat” (page 62) for a roundup of restaurant recommendations courtesy of our region’s most accomplished epicureans. From fast-casual finds the whole family will love to more upscale establishments, plus some cool cafés and beloved breweries, I’m confident you’ll discover plenty of places to check out. Finally, in “Homeless for the Holidays” (page 16), contributor Caroline Kings tackles the tough topic of homelessness by shining a light on area organizations dedicated to supporting the multilayered, complicated cause. She also shares some simple, selfless ways we can help the unhoused, like simply acknowledging their existence. Speaking of serving others, November’s the prime time to do so. It is Thanksgiving and National Gratitude Month, after all! Whether it’s smiling and making small talk with a stranger, donating outgrown outerwear to a coat drive, or tipping generously the next time you receive five-star service, no random (or intentional) act of kindness is too trivial to try. Cheers!

As someone who enjoys cooking—<br />
and the economical, health, and<br />
therapeutic benefits that come<br />
with it—dining out is a real rarity.<br />
It’s also a real treat, particularly<br />
for my two future foodies who think restaurants<br />
are (almost) as cool as Christmas.<br />
When I do depart my own kitchen, however,<br />
I crave dishes that are challenging (for me) to<br />
replicate at home—recipes that require ample<br />
ingredients and effort (croissants, curry, sushi,<br />
etc.). I also gravitate toward “happy meals”—not<br />
the kind from the Golden Arches—but food (and<br />

As the days grow darker, temps dip down, and holidays hang on the horizon,<br />
it seems seasonal sadness and budget concerns<br />
commence. To help ease some of the stress—be it<br />
“Be kind<br />
physical, mental, or financial—flip to page 36 for tips<br />
whenever on how to “Beat the Winter Blues.” When it comes to<br />
possible. It<br />
money matters, I fully support Clint Herndon of Next<br />
Peak CPA’s suggestion of “sticking to the four-gift rule:<br />
is always<br />
something they want, something they need, something<br />
possible.” to wear, and something to read.” Genius!<br />

Finally, in “Homeless for the Holidays” (page 16),<br />
contributor Caroline Kings tackles the tough topic of<br />
homelessness by shining a light on area organizations<br />
dedicated to supporting the multilayered, complicated<br />
cause. She also shares some simple, selfless ways we can help the unhoused, like<br />

What’s<br />
your go-to<br />
snack?<br />
“Red grapes with pepper jack cheese. The<br />
grapes must be crunchy though, and I<br />
prefer the pepper jack to be super spicy.<br />
Anyone who knows me, knows I love my<br />
spice!”—Emiley Mohr<br />
“I don't leave home without a piece of fruit!<br />
My go-to is a mandarin, because they’re<br />
easy to peel and give me a nice boost<br />
of energy. I have a mandarin tree in my<br />
yard and look forward to the home-grown<br />
harvest every year.”—Melissa Strand<br />
“If I’m feeling healthy, in-season peaches.<br />
Yum! The not-so-healthy version? La<br />
Panzanella Mini Croccantini with La Terra<br />
Fina Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip.<br />
So indulgent!”—Wendy Sipple<br />
I love all kinds of cheese! My youngest<br />
son and I are always trying something<br />
new.”—Theresa Arnold-Hale<br />
“Salami, cheese, and olives—but I try to<br />
balance out all that good stuff by eating<br />
my body weight in raw almonds!”<br />

GIVING BACK<br />
Homeless<br />
for the<br />
Holidays<br />
by CAROLINE KINGS<br />
L<br />
et me introduce<br />
you to John, 55<br />
years old, from Folsom. Last<br />
Thanksgiving, he sat around the dinner table<br />
with his children and their families, enjoying turkey and<br />
pecan pie. He and his wife were going through a divorce,<br />
he had an okay job that paid the bills (just), and lived<br />
alone, shopping at Walmart and WinCo. He was a bit of<br />
a loner but liked watching the 49ers at a bar every now<br />
and again, and he sometimes drove to Tahoe to hike. His<br />
parents passed away, and his siblings live on the other<br />
side of the country. He’s not very close to them.<br />
This Thanksgiving, he’s spending it in a drop-in center<br />
for the homeless. The divorce became acrimonious, and<br />
his children slowly started to ignore his text messages and<br />
voicemails; as a result, John became depressed. On top of<br />
all that, he lost his job. Without<br />
much in savings, the unpaid bills<br />
mounted, and he moved into his<br />
car. At his age and now with untreated, ongoing depression,<br />
he found it difficult to find a new job.<br />
John’s story may sound unbelievable, but becoming<br />
homeless can and does happen that quickly—sometimes<br />
much quicker. And although we may think that it stems<br />
from addiction, the number one reason for people<br />
becoming homeless is poor mental health. This is closely<br />
followed by economic reasons, just like John: the loss of a<br />
job and the cost of living. It’s when people are on the streets<br />
that they start to “self-medicate” with drugs and alcohol—to<br />
survive—for escapism.<br />
It’s hard to know exactly how many people are living<br />

without a home of their own, so statistics<br />
can paint an incorrect picture. Point-intime<br />
counts are taken one night a year,<br />
like a census, but often these are not<br />
accurate. Plus, those without a home<br />
are nomadic, moving from county to<br />
county. Two things are true, however:<br />
The numbers should be seen as “fluid,”<br />
as people are transient; and sadly, the<br />
numbers are growing.<br />
Fortunately, in our local area, there<br />
are ample organizations working to<br />
help people stay alive on the streets,<br />
if that’s what they choose, or to<br />
rehabilitate.<br />

GIVING BACK<br />
“Becoming homeless<br />
can happen faster than<br />
anyone can imagine,”<br />
Ekenstedt explains. “If<br />
someone doesn’t have a<br />
family or friend network<br />
to help with couch<br />
surfing then people’s<br />
options run dry.”<br />
HOW TO HELP<br />
• Recognize that a person<br />
without a home is still a person;<br />
say hi and help them feel seen.<br />
• Buy them a bottle of water and<br />
perhaps canned soup. Don’t<br />
buy them bags and bags of<br />
groceries that they may not be<br />
able to carry; they’re often left<br />
behind.<br />

So, what can we do to help, and<br />
where do we start? Shuman advises<br />
we speak to our children and listen to<br />
what they have to say. Help them to<br />
have good mental health with a strong<br />

the city’s history since the<br />
Gold Rush. As you stroll<br />
along Sutter Street, look<br />
for the moody, sepia-tone<br />

Monahan Vein Clinic<br />
Welcomes<br />
OUR NEWEST DOCTOR<br />
Wynter Phoenix, M.D.<br />
Monahan Vein Clinic has welcomed Dr. Wynter Phoenix<br />
to our practice and to Northern California!<br />
Dr. Phoenix has included vein treatment in his practice as a general surgeon for over<br />
10 years. Originally from Southern California, Dr. Phoenix recently moved from the<br />
Reno area. He shares a common philosophy on caring for patients with Dr. Monahan.<br />
Dr. Daniel Monahan has been in practice for over 30 years and is active in national<br />
societies focused on venous disease. The doctors have been friends since meeting<br />
at a scientific conference several years ago. Our practice stands out for being the<br />
only practice in the Sacramento area dedicated entirely to treatment of vein disease.<br />
Monahan Vein Clinic treats patients with varicose veins, spider veins, blood clot issues,<br />
and the range of problems in venous and lymphatic disease. Focusing the practice<br />
has provided greater experience creating special expertise. Advanced techniques<br />
and technology enable superior cosmetic vein treatment. As Dr. Monahan will<br />
continue caring for his patients, we are preparing to provide expert vein care for the<br />
Sacramento region for many years to come.<br />
Both surgeons are anticipating providing enhanced quality of care for vein disease<br />
as they share knowledge and experience. Most varicose vein treatment is covered by<br />
insurance. Spider vein treatment, known as sclerotherapy, is considered cosmetic, and<br />
estimates can be given in appointments with our nurses.<br />
Call today for an appointment, (916)791-8346. Appointments not available online.<br />

“Maintain a regular sleep schedule.<br />
Prioritize sleep hygiene and create<br />
a comfortable environment to<br />
ensure you're well-rested and better<br />
equipped to handle stress.” Lia Ross,<br />
General Manager, Roseville Health &<br />
Wellness Center, rosevillehwc.com<br />
The holidays can<br />
sometimes feel<br />
heavy, as you carry<br />
the load of balancing<br />
your physical, mental,<br />
and financial health.<br />
We consulted with<br />
local experts on<br />
thoughtful ways to<br />
support your needs<br />
and keep your head<br />
up this season.<br />
PHYSICAL HEALTH<br />
Staying active in the winter and<br />
during holidays can feel daunting, as<br />
it gets darker earlier, schedules are<br />
full, and your couch calls to you. Get<br />
creative and build a plan that fits the<br />
season, while having some fun!<br />
Bring the Fun Indoors<br />
“Getting the kids involved in<br />
some indoor fun is always a good<br />
time. Children love animals, so<br />
incorporate animal name exercises,<br />
such as frog hops, bear crawls, bird<br />
dogs, and lizard pushups. See how<br />
many [the whole family] can do in<br />
30 seconds, then repeat to see who<br />
can beat their previous record. Or<br />
Turn Up the Music<br />
“Don’t want to go anywhere? Turn<br />
on your favorite music then dance,<br />
do basic exercises, or vacuum for<br />
20 minutes.” Lisa Packheiser, Fitness<br />
Director, Spare Time Sports Clubs,<br />
sparetimesportsclubs.com<br />
Boost Your Immune System<br />
“Keeping your immune system<br />
and spirits in top shape can<br />
become more difficult in winter;<br />
thankfully, there are many excellent<br />
supplements that help. Make sure to<br />
incorporate a good probiotic, since<br />
your immune system and serotonin<br />
levels are created in the gut. As<br />
the days get shorter, it’s harder to<br />
maintain adequate vitamin D levels,<br />
so a supplement can be helpful. Less<br />
daylight can also have a negative<br />
effect on your mood; [taking the]<br />

MENTAL HEALTH<br />
The mental load of packed calendars,<br />
extra costs, and less daylight can lead<br />
to burnout. Make sure to prioritize<br />
time for YOU to adjust and unwind.<br />
Validate Your Feelings<br />
“Give yourself a permission slip that<br />
says, ‘Both things are true.’ If you<br />
feel overwhelmed by stress but still<br />
want to enjoy something important<br />
to you, both things can be true.<br />
This permission slip supports the<br />
winning mindset that even though<br />
you feel blue or stressed, you can<br />
still enjoy a situation simply by<br />
showing up or giving yourself grace.”<br />
Jenifer Novak, Empowerment Coach,<br />
fullyexpressedliving.com<br />
Schedule Time for You<br />
“Establishing a morning or nightly<br />
routine consisting of things to look<br />
forward to will help your emotional<br />
health. This could look like journaling<br />
for five minutes each morning or night<br />
to clear clutter from your thoughts.<br />
If holidays are particularly stressful<br />
[for you], consider simplifying your<br />
commitments. Being proactive about<br />
what boundaries you would like to set<br />
will help keep your calendar feeling<br />
more manageable and help you to<br />
be more present.” Ashlee Janzen, MS,<br />
LMFT, ashleejanzenlmft.com<br />
Just Say “No”<br />
“It’s okay to say ‘no.’ If you find yourself<br />
saying ‘yes’ to everything during<br />
the holiday season, it can become<br />
overwhelming. Make sure you take<br />
care of YOU; you are worthy.” Wanda<br />
Gaines, Wanda Gaines Coaching,<br />
wandagainescoaching.com<br />
FINANCIAL HEALTH<br />
Managing finances during a season<br />
full of giving can feel like an uphill<br />
battle, but having a toolbox of tips<br />
when the wish lists and holiday<br />
marketing campaigns hit can help you<br />
navigate holiday spending wisely.<br />
Plan Ahead<br />
“Communicate realistic expectations<br />
with your family and friends ahead<br />
of time. We don’t want sad faces<br />
on Christmas morning when the<br />
pony isn’t under the tree. It could<br />
be as simple the four-gift rule (from<br />
Dave Ramsey): something they want,<br />
something they need, something to<br />
wear, and something to read.” Clint<br />
Herndon, CPA, CFE, Next Peak CPA,<br />
nextpeakcpa.com<br />
Stick to a Budget<br />
“Write down an actual budget of<br />
income and expenses to see what<br />
you can afford. It’s okay to say no to<br />
additional spending and gift within<br />
your financial means or find other<br />
low-cost ways to show loved ones<br />
that you’re grateful for them. Protect<br />
your stress levels and happiness over<br />

Take a Hike<br />
Smittle Creek Trail<br />
by RYAN MARTINEZ<br />
LOCATED NEAR:<br />
Capay (Lake Berryessa Recreation<br />
Area).<br />
DISTANCE:<br />
4.7 miles (out and back).<br />
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:<br />
Moderate.<br />
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:<br />
This trail was unmaintained when I<br />
visited, and the bridges were down;<br />
there are rumored to be ticks, so<br />
bring bug spray and wear pants,<br />
long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes<br />
with traction. Don’t forget water;<br />
and, as always, Leave No Trace.<br />
Ticks & Lyme<br />
Disease<br />
While ticks are arguably<br />
some of the grossest<br />
in the insect world<br />
(technically, though,<br />
they’re arachnids like<br />
spiders—not insects),<br />
they shouldn’t deter<br />
you from getting<br />
outside. Here’s what<br />
you need to know.<br />
• Lyme disease is caused<br />
by a bacteria carried by<br />
the deer tick.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT:<br />
With beautiful views of Lake<br />
Berryessa, easy terrain for the<br />
whole family, lake access (in warmer<br />
temps), and tons of wildflowers<br />
come springtime, this trail is an<br />
under-the-radar favorite.<br />
1<br />
• A tick must feed for<br />
approximately 36 hours<br />
for the disease to be<br />
transferred.<br />
• The overall risk of<br />
infection is estimated at<br />
1-3%, even in areas where<br />
the disease is present.<br />
FUEL UP:<br />
There’s nothing better than a bowl<br />
of comforting curry and buttered<br />
naan to warm you up after a winter<br />
2<br />
• A rash, fever, facial<br />
paralysis, and arthritis<br />
indicate infection, usually<br />
appearing 3-30 days after<br />
exposure.<br />
HOW TO PREVENT<br />
TICK BITES:<br />
➊<br />
Know where to expect<br />
ticks.<br />
➋<br />
Use repellent on clothing.<br />
hike. Yeti Restaurant (davisyeti.<br />
com) boasts a huge menu of classic<br />
and traditional Indian fare for<br />
vegetarians and omnivores alike—<br />
including Nepalese momo (steamed<br />
dumplings with meat or<br />
veggies mixed with<br />
Himalayan spices),<br />
“thali” (a sampling<br />
of different<br />
dishes), crispy<br />
samosas, sizzling<br />
tandoori chicken,<br />
and more.<br />

➌<br />
Wear layers and<br />
appropriate outdoor<br />
attire.<br />
➍<br />
Check thoroughly for ticks<br />
after hiking in areas where<br />
ticks may be present,<br />
especially between folds<br />
of skin and joints; have a<br />
partner help.<br />

Yes to Vests!<br />
The latest trend I’m seeing this<br />
season are different types of<br />
vests—unique vintage vests,<br />
pinstripe suit vests, fuzzy warm<br />
vests, and leather vests! Vests<br />
are a great way to add interest to<br />
an outfit with a bonus of keeping<br />
you warm; plus, they jazz up an<br />
otherwise simple look. Like many<br />
things in fashion, styles come back<br />
around, and this retro look is up for<br />
a new iteration. Happy layering!<br />

ASK THE<br />
EXPERT<br />
by BELLA NOLEN<br />
Q: WHEN SHOULD I CONSIDER<br />
REMODELING MY HOME?<br />
Photo ©Andy Dean - stock.adobe.com.<br />
A: It's advisable to consider<br />
remodeling your home after 12-15<br />
years of living in the residence. If<br />
you’re planning a full remodel with<br />
the intention to sell, it's advisable<br />
to do so by the 10th year, allowing<br />
potential buyers to live in it for a<br />
few years before they decide to<br />
remodel themselves. Alternatively,<br />
you can opt for gradual<br />
remodeling over the years, which<br />
keeps your home fresh and<br />
reduces the need for a large,<br />
one-time financial investment. An<br />
experienced interior designer can<br />
help you decide which spaces to<br />
prioritize to create a long-term<br />
plan for upgrading your home.<br />
Finally, for those whose house<br />
is almost paid off, remodeling<br />
can be more cost-effective than<br />
buying a new property—and an<br />
opportunity to create the home of<br />
your dreams.<br />

Hotel Dreams<br />
FIVE-STAR COMFORT AT HOME<br />
| home & garden |<br />
by NELLY KISLYANKA<br />
Have you ever wondered how your favorite hotel gets<br />
their beds so comfy or their pillows so fluffy and wished<br />
you could uncover their secrets? You’re in luck! Two local<br />
hotels shared their tricks of the trade, so you can create<br />
your own hotel-quality escape at home.<br />
Mattresses Matter<br />
The most important part of a bedroom is, not<br />
surprisingly, found in its name: the bed. Creating<br />
a comfortable and sumptuous bed is key to<br />
creating a retreat you can’t wait to escape to.<br />
That's why Michelle Croft, marketing manager at<br />
Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel (sawyerhotel.<br />
com), advises you to “invest in your bedding.”<br />
What’s the first step in creating the comfiest<br />
bed? The star of the show, the mattress, of course!<br />
Nothing can replace a quality mattress for a good<br />
night’s rest; that’s why highly rated hotels, like<br />
Kimpton Sawyer and The National Exchange Hotel<br />
(thenationalexchangehotel.com) in Nevada City<br />
invest in quality mattresses.<br />
If you want to melt into your bed, take a page<br />
from Kimpton Sawyer’s book and purchase a<br />
memory foam mattress, which molds to your<br />
body and provides support right where your<br />
individual body needs it. It's also an excellent<br />
choice for those who struggle to get sleep because<br />
of their body temperature. Memory foam is<br />
manufactured using temperature-sensitive material,<br />
so it adjusts to your body’s heat, helping you sleep the<br />
whole night through.<br />
The secret to The National Exchange’s luxurious<br />
beds? Beautyrest Black mattresses. If you want<br />
comfort and cooling but share a bed with a partner<br />
prone to tossing and turning, this top-tier mattress<br />
is just what your sleep needs. Beautyrest Black<br />
mattresses have motion separation—coils that<br />
absorb energy and reduce motion.<br />
Bedding Basics<br />
If the mattress takes center stage, then luxurious<br />
linens and pillows are the supporting cast that pull<br />
the show together. How do you create a bed that<br />
begs you to run and jump into it? Top it with a duvet<br />
and the right pillows. The National Exchange’s beds<br />

are kitted out in down pillows and duvets sourced from DOWN<br />
inc., while Kimpton Sawyer dresses their beds in down-alternative<br />
pillows and duvets.<br />
A pro tip for the plushest bed of your dreams is to double-stuff<br />
your pillows (and duvet—if you feel so inclined). The key? Buy<br />
pillows in the size down from your bed’s scale. For example, if you<br />
have a king-sized bed, stuff two queen-sized pillows in the king-sized<br />
pillowcases.<br />
Opt for crisp-looking white or soft, neutral bedding, suggests<br />
Croft. “If you really want that hotel look, shop for a duvet cover with<br />
black embroidery design,” she says. The National Exchange uses<br />
handcrafted Mascioni Italian linens to give their rooms elegance<br />
and luxury. A bedding tip from Craft is to steam or iron your sheets<br />
after each wash. Pressing your sheets may sound like more work<br />
than you care for without a professional housekeeping team at your<br />
disposal, but it’s the key to a luxe look, according to Croft. “Plus, it<br />
feels amazing,” she says.<br />
“The bed is the dominating feature in the room.” That’s why<br />
Croft stresses the importance of making your bed every morning.<br />
Doing so maintains cleanliness and presentation so that your room<br />
feels like a sanctuary from the chaos of life. “Since you likely don’t<br />
have room service to make your bed at home (although that would<br />

be awesome!), keep your bedding style simple,” she says.<br />
A tip to achieving a hotel room aesthetic when making<br />
your bed is to fold down the duvet one-fourth of the way<br />
from the head of the bead. Tucking in the duvet cover<br />
corners finishes off the look.<br />

Dim the Lights<br />
Mood lighting is everything for a bedroom retreat.<br />
Kimpton Sawyer likes to set the tone for a warm welcome<br />
using soft, dimmable lights. The National Exchange also<br />
furnishes its rooms with lighting that can be adjusted for<br />
reading and atmosphere. By installing dimmer switches<br />
to overhead lighting in your main suite, you can control<br />
the brightness. Dimmers allow you to set the mood for a<br />
romantic evening or winding down for bed. "If that’s not<br />
an option, get matching dimmable bedside lamps or wall<br />
lamps,” recommends Croft.<br />
Scented Secrets<br />
Never underestimate the power of scent in setting a mood.<br />
Kimpton Sawyer and The National Exchange employ this<br />
strategy to help their guests relax and unwind—and so<br />
can you! Fragranced candles and diffusers are relatively<br />
inexpensive and accessible to all. Pick up a candle in your<br />
favorite scent, and for extra atmosphere, choose one with<br />
a wooden wick to crackle as it burns. Croft recommends<br />
choosing “scents like lavender, honey, or eucalyptus for a<br />
calm, spa-like feeling.”<br />

Go Down inHistory<br />
OLD SPACES, NEW PLACES<br />
by JENNIFER MARAGONI<br />
Buildings dating back to the Gold Rush dot our local landscape, and<br />
many of them are still used today. Ever enjoyed a meal or perused a<br />
shop in an old building and wondered about its past life? Here’s a thenand-now<br />
glimpse at 10 historic buildings.<br />
Bubbling with History<br />
Built in 1852, the stone structure that<br />
houses the Fountain & Tallman Museum<br />
is the oldest building on Main Street<br />
in Placerville. Formerly Fountain &<br />
Tallman Soda Works, it provided<br />
bottled spring water to miners (the<br />
river and creek water were undrinkable<br />
due to pollution from mining). The<br />
building, later owned by Pacific Gas<br />
& Electric, is now dubbed the “Biggest<br />
Little Museum in the West.” 524 Main<br />
Street, Placerville, 530-626-0773,<br />
eldoradocountyhistoricalsociety.org<br />
Grillin’ & Chillin’<br />
Have a hankering for BBQ? Head to<br />
Poor Red’s Bar-B-Que in El Dorado. The<br />
roadhouse along Highway 49 was built<br />
as a Wells Fargo weigh station in the mid-<br />
1800s, then served up drinks as Kelly’s<br />
Bar from 1927-1945. But since the 1950s,<br />
it’s been known for its BBQ and Gold<br />
Cadillac cocktail. As the story goes, “Poor<br />
Red” won the bar in a dice game and took<br />
over ownership with his wife “Rich Opal.”<br />
In 1952, the bartender created a special<br />
drink, the Gold Cadillac—Galliano liqueur,<br />
white crème de cacao, and cream—at<br />
the request of newlyweds passing through<br />
town in, you guessed it, a gold Cadillac.<br />
Poor Red’s, which reopened under<br />
new ownership in 2016, still has<br />
1940s-era murals on its walls —<br />
and BBQ and Gold Cadillacs<br />
on its menu. 6221 Pleasant<br />

space. Constructed in 1853,<br />
the building, then known as<br />
“3 Mile House,” served as a<br />
stagecoach stop, general<br />
store, hotel, post office,<br />
and community hall for 135<br />
years. The opening to the<br />
Blue Lead (Gold) Mine can<br />
be seen in the cellar. 2021 Smith<br />

Hammer Time<br />
While much changes, some things<br />
remain the same. Placerville<br />
Hardware—the oldest hardware<br />
store west of the Mississippi—has<br />
been a mainstay on Main Street<br />
since the 1850s (albeit under a few<br />
names). The store—where you can<br />
buy everything from tools and fishing<br />
poles to candles and cast iron pans—<br />
has been operating under its current<br />
moniker since 1907 and owned by the<br />
Fausel family since 1952. Notice the<br />
original hardwood floors, nail and<br />
screw bins, and rolling ladders. 441<br />

Beer in the Block<br />
Built in 1856, the Block Building<br />
in Auburn’s Old Town Plaza<br />
served as the American Hotel, a<br />
hub of social activity during the<br />
Gold Rush and construction of<br />
the Transcontinental Railroad. It<br />
then housed the beloved Shanghai<br />
Restaurant & Bar, which served<br />
townsfolk for over a century. The<br />
building, which barely survived<br />
numerous fires over the years, is<br />
now occupied by Auburn Alehouse,<br />
whose owners took great care during<br />
renovation to preserve its “original<br />
fabric and patina.” Fun fact: Disney<br />
filmed Phenomenon, starring John<br />
Travolta, in Auburn; the building was<br />
prominently featured as the Elkhorn<br />
Bar. 289 Washington Street, Auburn,<br />
530-885-2537, auburnalehouse.com<br />
Dive In<br />
Belly up to the oldest bar in Placer<br />
County at West House in Roseville.<br />
Built in 1907, the building was later<br />
leased and then sold to Avano Frediani<br />
as a hotel and tavern, and has been<br />
continuously operated by the Frediani<br />
family for over a century. The lively<br />
neighborhood dive bar boasts TVs,<br />
pool tables, and a jukebox. 347<br />

A High Note<br />
For live music in a historic venue,<br />
visit Roseville’s Opera House<br />
Saloon. The nightclub is located<br />
in the McRae Building, built in 1908.<br />
In the 1920s, the second floor was the<br />
town’s main social hall, used for meetings,<br />
plays, and dances. In the 1930s, it was<br />
used as a movie house, roller rink, and<br />
for boxing matches, and later as the<br />
offices of the Press Tribune. The first<br />
floor has housed the McRae Insurance<br />
offices, a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, the<br />
Roseville Register, and the post office. 411<br />

Hop Back in Time<br />
Hop Sing Palace has been serving<br />
Chinese food on Sutter Street in<br />
Folsom since 1957, but the building<br />
that houses the restaurant has<br />
served the community since 1909.<br />
Originally Imhoff’s General Store,<br />
where locals could buy everything from<br />
kitchenware to hardware, it was later<br />
used as a sheet metal shop. Fun fact:<br />
Journalist Lisa Ling’s grandfather opened<br />
Hop Sing’s, the first Chinese restaurant in<br />
Folsom, and owned it until the mid-1980s.<br />

La Dolce Vita<br />
Built in 1926, the Murer House brings<br />
a taste of Italy to Folsom with cooking<br />
and language classes, bocce ball<br />
tournaments, and special events. The<br />
pale pink home that backs up to<br />
Folsom Boulevard was designed<br />
and built by Giuseppie “Joe” Murer,<br />
a carpenter who immigrated to<br />
San Francisco and later found<br />
his way to Folsom. 1125 Joe Murer<br />

Raise the Curtain<br />
Auburn State Theatre opened to<br />
an overflow crowd the day after<br />
Christmas in 1930 with an orchestra,<br />
balcony, and 1,350 seats. The iconic<br />
marquee and “State” sign were added<br />
in 1937. The building has undergone<br />
several renovations—and uses—over<br />
the years. The 350-seat theater<br />
now serves as a venue for live music,<br />
performing arts, film screenings, and<br />
educational experiences. Fun fact: The<br />
red velvet seats came from Grauman’s<br />
Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. 985<br />

From hole-in-the-wall hidden<br />
gems to high-end eateries, our<br />
region’s top chefs are dialed<br />
into the dining scene. Curious<br />
where they go and what they<br />
order? Here’s the dish on their<br />
local foodie favorites.<br />

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CHEF? 20 years.<br />
FAVORITE THING TO MAKE AT YOUR RESTAURANT:<br />
Right now, I'm loving our handmade tagliarini<br />
with stewed heirloom tomatoes, basil, and<br />
parmesan. I look forward to it every summer.<br />
TOP COOKING TIP: Taste your food and season<br />
throughout the cooking process, to achieve<br />
consistency and develop flavors.<br />
YOUR MOTTO WHEN IT COMES TO COOKING: Start with the best<br />
ingredients, keep it simple, and cook [what’s] in season.<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/OR DRINK: When my<br />
husband and I are craving a date night, we enjoy<br />
Restaurant Josephine (josephineauburn.com).<br />
Chef-Owners Eric and Courtney are truly talented,<br />
and I appreciate their efforts to source local<br />
ingredients, many from their own farm. It’s unique<br />
to find a spot where traditional, time-honored<br />
techniques are used to create layered flavors; not to<br />
mention, Courtney's collection of glassware makes it a<br />
special spot to enjoy a craft cocktail.<br />
My kids’ favorite is Moksa Barrel House<br />
(moksabarrelhouse.com), which we opened<br />
in collaboration with Moksa Brewing Co. Their<br />
food is casual but made with superior products.<br />
The kiddos can indulge in chicken tenders, and I<br />
know it's high-quality chicken!<br />
by MEGAN WISKUS<br />
My family recently enjoyed a lovely meal at Nixtaco<br />
(nixta.co). We tried lots of items, and everything was<br />
delicious! The menu has grown quite a bit over the past<br />
few years, so if you haven't been in a while, I'd recommend a visit.<br />
I love grabbing a croissant and carefully crafted cappuccino at local coffee<br />
shops and often make the drive to Faria Bakery (fariabakery.com/folsom)<br />
or The Pour Choice (thepourchoice.com); both are yummy options. Granite<br />
Bay has a new café, The Grove (@thegrovecoffeehouse916), that makes<br />
lovely cappuccinos and serves coffee from Chocolate Fish.<br />

FAVORITE<br />
THING TO<br />
MAKE<br />
AT YOUR<br />
RESTAURANT:<br />
Croissants.<br />
TOP<br />
COOKING TIP: Use<br />
quality ingredients<br />
if you want to make quality<br />
products, and don’t take<br />
shortcuts.<br />
YOUR MOTTO WHEN IT COMES<br />
TO COOKING: Practice makes<br />
perfect.<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/<br />
OR DRINK: I enjoy Farmhaus<br />
(farmhausgb.com) because they<br />
always use fresh, in-season<br />
ingredients and have<br />
quality chefs,<br />
as well as an<br />
amazing<br />
front-ofhouse<br />
staff.<br />
My favorite<br />
dish right now<br />
is their pork<br />
chop.<br />
Everything at<br />
Nixtaco (nixta.<br />
co) is made<br />
from<br />
scratch and<br />
executed<br />
perfectly.<br />
I love their<br />
burger (when<br />
they have it), or<br />
the al pastor tacos!<br />
Back Bistro (backbistro.com)<br />
is in an excellent location (at<br />
the Palladio) and has a great<br />
atmosphere; plus, the<br />
staff is always<br />
incredibly kind.<br />
You can’t beat<br />
their steak<br />
and potatoes<br />

cknightssteakhouse.com<br />
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CHEF? 37 years.<br />
FAVORITE THING TO MAKE AT<br />
YOUR RESTAURANT? A<br />
16-ounce New York<br />
strip steak cooked<br />
Pittsburgh-style—<br />
where it’s seared on<br />
an iron plate, placed<br />
in the back of our<br />
top-fired broiler (where<br />
it’s hottest), and cooked<br />
medium rare with a perfect<br />
crust.<br />
TOP COOKING TIP: When it comes to flavor,<br />
don't be afraid to season your food properly<br />
and generously. People tend to underseason;<br />
indulge and live life daily—you only<br />
die once.<br />
YOUR MOTTO WHEN IT COMES TO COOKING:<br />
Meals that are balanced with the five flavors<br />
of bitter, sweet, salty, acidic, and umami pair<br />
well with almost any wine.<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/OR DRINK:<br />
I love going to Aji<br />
Japanese Bistro<br />
(ajibistroedh.<br />
com) for their spicy<br />
chicken ramen with<br />
crunchy garlic and<br />
kimchi; the chicken<br />
is chargrilled, which<br />
adds a nice smokiness to<br />
the homemade broth. It’s<br />
especially tasty on a cold, rainy<br />
day.<br />
I’ve tried cheese<br />
enchiladas all<br />
over town, and<br />
the version<br />
at La Cascada<br />
(lacascadaedh.com)<br />
are by far the best. The<br />
sauce is flavorful and<br />
not too tomatoey like<br />
some tend to be. I always<br />
ask for chopped green onions on<br />
top to add even more flavor and texture.<br />
If you’re a Volkswagen aficionado like me,<br />
Red Bus Brewing Company (redbusbrew.<br />
com) is a must! They have VW-themed décor<br />
and cleverly named<br />
brews, including my<br />
favorite: Jetronic—a<br />
hazy IPA that’s light,<br />
refreshing, and<br />
not too hoppy. It’s<br />
great for sipping…or<br />
chugging!<br />

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A<br />
CHEF? 19 years.<br />
FAVORITE THING TO MAKE<br />
AT YOUR RESTAURANT?<br />
Lamb shepherd pasty.<br />
TOP COOKING TIP:<br />
Enjoy the process, and<br />
always brown your butter!<br />
YOUR MOTTO WHEN IT COMES TO<br />
COOKING: Allow yourself to engage all five<br />
senses. It's not just about the result, but how<br />
you feel while creating your meal. Food is a<br />
conduit of energy. Have fun, be creative, and<br />
use it as a modality of expression.<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/OR DRINK:<br />
Timmy’s Brown Bag (timmysbrownbag.<br />
com) has a creative, unique menu that<br />
pulls you out of your comfort<br />
zone to discover fireworks<br />
of flavor with every bite.<br />
The owner’s risk-taking<br />
ingredients are inspiring,<br />
and the delivery of it<br />
in sandwich form is the<br />
best part. My go-to is<br />
the spam and kimchi<br />
sandwich.<br />
The boscaiola (add Italian<br />
sausage) from The Place<br />
(thatlittleitalianplace.com)<br />
is simple and elegant.<br />
The thyme cream sauce<br />
complements the earthy<br />
portabellas and crimini<br />
mushrooms, along with<br />
the saltiness of the sausage.<br />
Nothing overpowers any other<br />
flavors; it’s creamy, aromatic harmony!<br />
I love the history and ambiance<br />
at Smith Flat House<br />
(smithflathouse.com);<br />
plus, they support our<br />
community by using<br />
ingredients from local<br />
farmers. The Black<br />
& White (filet mignon<br />
served with grilled prawns,<br />
demi-glace, béarnaise sauce,<br />
roasted garlic mashed<br />
potatoes, and slowroasted<br />
baby heirloom<br />
carrots) is my favorite,<br />
along with any of their<br />
wood-fired pizzas.<br />
Fresh, simple, classics<br />
with a creative spin!<br />

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CHEF? 24<br />
years.<br />
FAVORITE THING TO MAKE AT<br />
YOUR RESTAURANT:<br />
Burgers, of<br />
course!<br />
TOP COOKING<br />
TIP: Never stop<br />
learning. I’ve<br />
been in the<br />
industry for a<br />
long time and am<br />
always excited to try<br />
something new or experiment with a<br />
different way of doing something that<br />
I’ve done 100 times before.<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/OR<br />
DRINK: My favorite casual place is<br />
7’Yen Sushi (7yensushi.com). Andy is<br />
a great sushi chef and creates some<br />
of the most unique rolls you’ll find.<br />
My favorite is<br />
the Firefly:<br />
spicy tuna<br />
and cucumber<br />
topped with<br />
salmon and<br />
thinly sliced<br />
lemon. It seems<br />
normal until you<br />
take your first bite;<br />
trust me, you’ll be hooked<br />
for life!<br />
For a more upscale meal, my go-to<br />
is Q1227 (q1227restaurant.com). Chef<br />
Q has an incredible menu and makes<br />
everything with<br />
heart and soul.<br />
I’m obsessed<br />
with the fried<br />
chicken (served<br />
with mashed<br />
potatoes) and<br />
the meatloaf.<br />
After working long<br />
hours, I enjoy going<br />
to the Almond Tree Grill & Lounge<br />
(almondtreelounge.com). You won’t<br />
find better prices or customer service<br />
anywhere else; if<br />
you’re looking<br />
for a cold beer<br />
and friendly<br />
bartenders, it’s<br />
the place to be.<br />

Suite 180, Roseville, 916-783-1445, moksabarrelhouse.com<br />
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CHEF? 10 years.<br />
FAVORITE THING TO MAKE AT YOUR RESTAURANT:<br />
Honestly, anything that customers enjoy—from an order<br />
of fries to one of the chef’s specials. I just love feeding<br />
people and seeing them happy, no matter the dish.<br />
TOP COOKING TIP: Keep swinging. With repetition and<br />
failure comes understanding and a chance to improve.<br />
YOUR MOTTO WHEN IT COMES TO COOKING: Cook with<br />
purpose; the end goal is full bellies and happy faces. In<br />
food and life, I always try to do better than the day before.<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/OR DRINK: Liu Mandarin<br />
Kitchen (liumandarinkitchen.net) has amazing, super<br />
fresh food with a staff that makes you feel like family.<br />
The Singapore-style noodles are a must, though you<br />
can’t really go wrong with any of<br />
their dishes. The atmosphere is<br />
perfect for a date night.<br />
Mezcalito Oaxacan Cuisine<br />
(mezcalitocuisine.com) has a<br />
small, cozy feel and serves up<br />
mouthwatering molotes, queso<br />
fundido, el pastor tacos, and<br />
micheladas with shrimp.<br />
When it comes to grabbing<br />
a beer, you can’t beat the<br />
chill atmosphere and variety of<br />
(constantly rotating) brews<br />
at Moonraker Brewing<br />
(moonrakerbrewing.com)—both<br />
at “The Pub” in Auburn and the new<br />
“Millhouse” in Cameron Park.<br />

Favor, 640 Twelve Bridges Drive, Lincoln,<br />
916-472-5503, omakaseporfavor.com<br />
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CHEF? 14 years.<br />
FAVORITE DISH TO MAKE AT YOUR<br />
RESTAURANT: Shrimp<br />
ceviche. It represents<br />
all the fresh flavors of<br />
Mexico.<br />
TOP COOKING TIP: Dive<br />
into flavor fearlessly!<br />
Boundaries are meant<br />
to be stretched for tasty<br />
revelations. Go all in—even if<br />
it means a flavor explosion now<br />
and then.<br />
YOUR MOTTO WHEN IT COMES TO COOKING:<br />
Enjoyment is key. Your tastes, your happiness. Food<br />
is all about personal joy. If it tastes good to you and<br />
brings you a smile, that's what truly counts!<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/OR DRINK:<br />
My all-time favorite is Curry Leaves<br />
(thecurryleavesrestaurant.com). Every<br />
visit leaves me smiling and<br />
amazed by the exceptional<br />
cooking. Having a<br />
restaurant that prepares<br />
dishes I couldn't even<br />
master at home brings<br />
me joy. I don't leave<br />
without getting a<br />
masala dosa stuffed<br />
with potatoes and an order<br />
of paneer chilli (fried cheese cubes<br />
smothered in a heavenly sauce).<br />
Kathrin’s Biergarten (kathrinsbiergarten.<br />
com) is an absolute blast; there’s nothing like<br />
a massive stein to elevate your day! And guess<br />
what? You might even run into Kathrin herself!<br />
The ownership is fantastic, and<br />
the sausages are<br />
simply irresistible. My<br />
friends and I always<br />
order the Oktoberfest<br />
Sampler, so we can try<br />
bites of everything. The<br />
giant “bretzle” is worldclass,<br />
too.<br />
After leaving the city and<br />
experiencing Japan, my craving<br />
for incredible ramen—with its rich pork broth,<br />
zesty miso butter, and melt-in-your-mouth<br />
chashu—became insatiable. I’ve scoured high<br />
and low for a go-to ramen<br />
spot, and Fukumi Ramen<br />
(fukumirestaurantgroup.<br />
com/fukumi-roseville)<br />
nails it. Their namesake<br />
Fukumi Ramen is my<br />
favorite, but they have so<br />
many different options.<br />

FAVORITE THING TO MAKE AT YOUR<br />
RESTAURANT? The Western Burger, with<br />
scratch-made Guinness BBQ sauce and<br />
hand-made crispy onion strings.<br />
TOP COOKING TIP: Always cook a meal as<br />
if your mother were the guest. Trust me—<br />
people will be able to taste the extra love<br />
you put into the food.<br />
YOUR MOTTO WHEN IT COMES TO COOKING:<br />
Experiment! Try new ways, methods, and exciting<br />
ingredients, because why not?<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/OR DRINK: You can never go<br />
wrong with pizza from Wally’s Pizza Bar (wallyspizzabar.<br />
com). Flavorful—from crust to sauce—with fresh<br />
ingredients plus a fun ambiance, it’s a great place<br />
to spend a Friday night.<br />
Breakfast food is often overlooked, but no matter<br />
how you want your eggs cooked (sunny side up,<br />
over easy, over medium, basted etc.), the chefs<br />
at The Mimosa House (mimosahouseca.com)<br />
always cook them to perfection; plus, the house<br />
potatoes are seasoned with lots of love. It’s a<br />
perfect spot to cure a long night out, especially with<br />
their full-service bar and morning cocktail selection.<br />
The staff at Peet’s Coffee (peets.com) is always<br />
friendly and inviting. My days are long, and my<br />
current go-to is their Havana cappuccino. Dark,<br />
savory, it hits just right—no need to add sugar,<br />
sweeteners, or sprinkles. It’s exactly what I need out<br />
of a coffee shop: polite, fast service and strong coffee!<br />

TOP COOKING TIP: Be brave!<br />
YOUR MOTTO WHEN IT COMES TO COOKING:<br />
Leave your ego at the door.<br />
TOP LOCAL SPOTS TO EAT AND/<br />
OR DRINK: For a relaxing<br />
daycation, Casino Mine<br />
Ranch (casinomineranch.<br />
com). The drive there<br />
is beautiful, the staff is<br />
friendly, and their wines<br />
are amazing; plus, I heard<br />
they have Chavious pop-ups<br />
occasionally.<br />
To celebrate a special occasion, Hawks<br />
(hawksrestaurant.com) can’t be beat. Mike,<br />
Molly, and Ed have created a classic that’s all<br />
about the technique and details. Everything<br />
is not just beautiful to look at but tastes<br />
amazing, too.<br />
After a run on the river, Sunflower Drive In<br />
(sunflowerdrivein.cafe) is my spot. Their food<br />
has enough sprouts to make you an instant<br />
hippie, but the vegan nutty taco is heaven. Oh,<br />
and the #5 smoothie!<br />
Following a hike on the trails or after “fun-yaking,”<br />
I always stop at Argonaut Farm to Fork Café<br />
(argonautcafe.com). It’s in a historic, super<br />
cozy building next to Sutter’s Mill and the<br />
Gold Discovery Museum and has a dog-friendly<br />
porch with delicious coffee and pastries.<br />

C. Knight’s brings a<br />
classic approach to the<br />
American tradition of<br />
the “old school steakhouse”<br />
offering Prime beef, craft<br />
cocktails, and local wines.<br />
The steakhouse holds a special place in our hearts.<br />
Charles Knight met his stepfather, a true cowboy, in a<br />
steakhouse. He later worked as a cook and bartender<br />
in that same steakhouse. That steakhouse in Colorado<br />
became the destination for all the Knight celebrations,<br />
and the place where special family memories were made.<br />
We hope to do the same for those who come to our<br />
restaurant. We want to provide our patrons a memorable<br />
dining experience and keep them coming back for more<br />
experiences to share with family and friends.<br />
Our vision is to be one of the top steakhouses in<br />
Northern California and become a long-standing<br />
community presence.<br />
Open for lunch and dinner, Ecstatic Hour Monday<br />
through Friday 3-5pm...and don't forget: we're<br />
serving all of your Ruffhaus Hot Dog Co. favorites<br />
daily for lunch.<br />
We also offer catering through C. Knight’s Steakhouse<br />
and the Ruffhaus DOGVDUB for any special event. The<br />
DOGVDUB, a vintage Volkswagen Bus converted to a<br />
Mobile hot dog truck, is the perfect way to enhance any<br />
event and will surely impress your guests.<br />

Rocker<br />
Oysterfeller’s<br />
Eastside<br />
by RYAN MARTINEZ | photos by TAYLOR ALLRED<br />
A<br />
t the crossroads of<br />
Southern comfort,<br />
farm-to-table fare and<br />
coastal California cuisine<br />
sits Rocker Oysterfeller’s,<br />
a newly opened kitchen<br />
and saloon destined to<br />
become a local foodie<br />
favorite.<br />
Inspired by<br />
restaurateurs Brandon<br />
Guenther and Shona<br />
Campbell’s own fusion of<br />
cultural and professional<br />
backgrounds, they’ve<br />
infused Placerville with<br />
the flavors of Shona’s<br />
South Texas upbringing<br />
alongside Brandon’s<br />
coastal favorites and Le<br />
Cordon Bleu training.<br />
The result is a refreshing<br />
maritime twist on a<br />
markedly Southern<br />
menu with locally and<br />
sustainably sourced<br />
ingredients.<br />
The El Dorado<br />
County, “Eastside,”<br />
location launched in<br />
July <strong>2023</strong>, and is the<br />
sister establishment<br />
to their original Valley<br />
Ford locale, sited just 10<br />
minutes from Bodega<br />
Bay in a historic sevenroom<br />
hotel. The vision<br />
for both restaurants is<br />
rooted in the couple’s<br />
years spent, collectively,<br />
in catering and events—<br />
including gigs at<br />
both non-pretentious<br />
Molasses & Bourbon Pork<br />
Volcano Shank<br />
“<br />
The seafood is all sustainable<br />
and wild caught, meats are<br />
free-range and locally farmed,<br />
eggs are from pasture-raised<br />
chickens, and the vegetables<br />
are mostly organic.<br />

HEADS-UP: Weekend brunch; happy hour served<br />
Tuesday-Friday from 2-5 p.m.; occasional live music;<br />
ample vegetarian and gluten-free options; outdoor<br />
seating; seafood is all sustainable and wild caught,<br />
meats are free-range and locally farmed, eggs are<br />
from pasture-raised chickens, and the vegetables are<br />
mostly organic; private event space can accommodate<br />
up to 100 people<br />
hangouts and upscale venues. Estimated<br />
to open this month, Placerville’s event<br />
space will accommodate up to 100 people<br />
for everything from public concerts to<br />
weddings and private events.<br />
At the heart of the cozy community<br />
establishment is a greater mission,<br />
however: to provide delicious food while<br />
supporting local farmers and sustainable<br />
harvesting practices. With the belief that<br />
“supporting local [farming] is a lifeline<br />
for all of us,” Shona walked me through<br />
the restaurant’s ethos. The seafood is all<br />
sustainable and wild caught, meats are<br />
free-range and locally farmed, eggs are<br />
from pasture-raised chickens, and the<br />
vegetables are mostly organic. Brandon<br />
went on to explain that even the grits are<br />
harvested immediately upon ordering and<br />
cold shipped the next day from heirloom<br />
corn in South Carolina.<br />
After finding a table on their outdoor<br />
patio, Tracy Fanara—veteran server and<br />
manager of Rocker Oysterfeller’s—walked<br />
me through the menu and recommended<br />
a few appetizers. The Dirty South was<br />
first on her list—hand-cut Kennebec fries<br />
covered with house-made pimento cheese,<br />
pickled jalapeños, Texas-style brisket, and<br />
a healthy drizzle of crema. I’m not a huge<br />
French fry fan, but this will be repeated.<br />
Tip of the hat on this one.<br />
In spirit of the 2-5 p.m. happy hour<br />
(served Tuesday-Friday), I decided to indulge<br />
in the “Bar Snack” deviled eggs. Though<br />
left with some FOMO on the main menu’s<br />
deviled eggs (whose rendition comes<br />
topped with applewood bacon and fried<br />
oysters), my version—with Vital Farms eggs,<br />
Cajun spices, and herb salad—was tasty, too.<br />
After hearing the oysters are<br />
sustainably grown and harvested in<br />
Tomales Bay, I couldn’t resist trying the<br />
namesake Rocker Oysterfeller—chargrilled<br />
with wilted arugula, cream cheese, toasted<br />
fennel, applewood bacon, and cornbread<br />
crust—and the Louisiana Hot—chargrilled<br />
with Louisiana hot sauce and garlic butter.<br />
Both were served on a bed of rock salt and<br />
decorative seaweed, reminding me of the<br />
dish’s simple yet sophisticated origins.<br />
I accompanied all this with the Cheesy<br />
Jalapeño Pull-Apart Bread, a sweet, panbaked<br />
bread with melted Monterey Jack,<br />
garlic butter, and pickled jalapeños—the<br />
perfect vessel to soak up the hot sauce<br />
from the oysters. Yum.<br />
Next, it was time to dive into the main<br />
Rocker Oysterfeller Oysters<br />
course. Firstly, a chicken thigh blackened<br />
with Cajun spices alongside seared summer<br />
squash, toy box tomatoes, and Cajun cream<br />
sauce served over cavatappi pasta. You could<br />
taste the freshness of the ingredients, though<br />
my palate would’ve preferred a touch more<br />
cream and a pinch more salt.<br />
The real star of the show was the<br />
Molasses & Bourbon Pork Volcano Shank.<br />
As I dug into the tender shank, the meat<br />
literally fell off the bone. No knife needed.<br />
The menu’s description—a “monstrous<br />
two-pound pork shank braised tender in<br />
a rich jus; served over Carolina cheese<br />
grits, baby carrots, and turnips; and topped<br />
with haystack onions”—was spot on, and<br />
infused with all the decadence of Southern<br />
cuisine you could ask for. The grits<br />
were (understandably) delicious and the<br />
carrots simply masterful. Thanks for the<br />
recommendation, Tracy.<br />
While stuffed to the gills, I couldn’t<br />
dare depart before tasting the Bread<br />
Pudding. The butter praline sauce,<br />
brown sugar pecans, and fresh<br />
cream marked a sweet end<br />
to a beautiful Placerville<br />
escape. After saying my<br />
goodbyes, I walked down<br />
Main Street into the<br />
sunset; trust me, a nice<br />
(long) walk was needed<br />
after this one!<br />

@hibachi.town<br />
crisp and flavorsome with a delicious dipping sauce. Win. For the main course,<br />
I opted for NY Steak. The entrée arrived with a sufficient serving of juicy steak, grilled<br />
veggies, and fried rice (steamed rice was also an option). Eat it as-is or punch up the flavor,<br />
and fun factor, with their signature sauce. Other protein options include chicken, salmon,<br />
shrimp, scallops, tofu, and even lobster—all accompanied by grilled veggies and rice.<br />
You can even double (or triple!) up and go with the “Surf & Turf,” “Chicken & Steak,”<br />

“Steak & Lobster,” or “Hibachi Trio.” For those counting carbs who may not want<br />
rice, they also serve salads, which include the protein of your choice, lettuce,<br />
tomatoes, carrots, and a zesty ginger sauce. Other popular picks? The Teriyaki<br />
Chicken Bowl, Ninja Noodles, and Hibachi Burrito (found on their—shush!—<br />

sauce. With a welcoming ambiance and mouthwatering, made-to-order food at<br />

THE<br />
Hot<br />
by SHARON PENNY<br />
LIST<br />
Play with Your Food<br />
INTERACTIVE EATS<br />
Level up your next meal out and play with your food;<br />
think peak social interaction, capital “E” experiences,<br />
and eating with your hands but in grown-up ways.<br />
From fondue and hot pots, to hibachi, molcajete,<br />
and more, anything is on the table—as long as it’s<br />
memorable, enjoyable, and delicious.<br />
Taqueria La Nueva Vallarta<br />
MOLCAJETE IS MUY BUENO<br />
Nothing says “abracadabra” like molcajete—a traditional stone bowl, heated and piled high with<br />
grilled meats, vegetables, and much (much!) more, plus tortillas (and oftentimes beans and<br />
rice) on the side. Think of it as a bigger, better version of fajitas, where you can build-your-own<br />
delicious bite. The version at Taqueria La Nueva Vallarta comes with steak, chicken, shrimp,<br />
nopales, and chorizo (10305 Fairway Drive, Roseville, 916-749-3791, taqueria-la-nueva-vallarta.<br />
business.site); Vallarta Mexican Restaurant & Cantina serves their rendition with chicken,<br />
steak, shrimp, and a creamy chipotle sauce (263 Placerville Drive, Placerville, 530-626-0841,<br />
vallartarestaurantplacerville.com); El Agave Taqueria has both a meat molcajete—topped with<br />
grilled cheese and nopales—and a seafood version with El Agave’s specialty sauce (1285 Grass<br />
Valley Highway, Auburn, 530-823-8292, elagavetaqueria.com); while the crowd-pleasing bowl at La<br />
Calle is chock-full of marinated carne asada and grilled queso fresco (6608 Folsom-Auburn Road,<br />
Suite 1, Folsom, 916-293-9677, lacallefolsom.com). Wherever you order it, we guarantee everyone in<br />
the restaurant will want to have what you’re having.<br />
LOST & FONDUE<br />
Does your love language include romantic walks through the cheese<br />
department? Are your restaurant decisions motivated by questions like:<br />
“Where’s the fondue?” Enchanted Forest Dining Experience is indeed an<br />
“experience” and offers a dedicated four-course fondue menu (gasp!)<br />
alongside a true fairy tale setting (complete with foliage and twinkly lights).<br />
Your adventure begins with cheese fondue, followed by the main course<br />
(meatballs, chicken, shrimp, and filet mignon in a seasoned broth, plus<br />
dipping sauces), and ends on a sweet note with chocolate fondue (372<br />
Main Street, Placerville, 530-303-3078, enchantedforestdining.com). C’mon get<br />
happy at Friar Tuck’s Restaurant & Bar with their cheese fondue—a special<br />
only offered during happy hour—that comes complete with pickled carrots,<br />
local pork sausage, and baguette (111 North Pine Street, Nevada City, 530-265-<br />
9093, friartucks.com).<br />
Vallarta Mexican<br />
Restaurant & Cantina<br />
Tao’s HotPot & Shabu<br />
HURRAY FOR HOT POT<br />
A huge bowl of seasoned broth with a<br />
medley of meats, seafood, vegetables,<br />
and condiments, all bubbling away at your<br />
table…what’s not to love? Tao's HotPot &<br />
Shabu has an all-you-can-eat option (aka,<br />
the dream); try the spicy tonkotsu broth<br />
and Australian lamb (510 Natoma Station<br />
Drive, Suite 100, Folsom, 916-510-1745,<br />
taoshotpot.com). Tasty Pot serves a set<br />
menu; the kimchi dumpling hot pot is the<br />
ultimate winter warmer (1020 Pleasant Grove<br />
Boulevard, Suite 170, Roseville, 916-749-4236,<br />
tastypotusa.com). At Hotpot Express, you<br />
can choose your own broth (we love their<br />
chef’s special lemongrass) and add selfserve<br />
meats and vegetables (6456 Antelope<br />
Road, Citrus Heights, 916-735-8512).<br />

your table on swords<br />
(yes, swords!) then<br />
carved in front of your<br />

the rodizio grill fixed<br />
menu with a multitude<br />
of mouthwatering meats<br />
like picanha (marinated<br />
top sirloin), baconwrapped<br />
filet, and tri-tip,<br />
plus all the lip-smacking<br />
sides you can stomach<br />

boasts 17 cuts of meat<br />
like filet mignon, lamb<br />
chops, salmon, and pork<br />

try the Korean pancake dessert (2030 Douglas Boulevard, Suite 22, Roseville, 916-<br />
472-6598, bluehousekbbq.com); Gangham Ave. is all-you-can-eat, and we’re<br />
all about their marinated short rib, bulgogi, and curry pork, with the Korean<br />
ice cream for dessert! (2216 Sunrise Boulevard, Rancho Cordova, 916-840-5645,<br />

Teppanyaki and hibachi are akin to an edible<br />

Sushi offers hibachi combos like filet mignon and<br />
shrimp (1870 Prairie City Road, Suite 600, Folsom,<br />
916-985-9888, shogunatfolsom.com); Soho Sushi &<br />
Teppanyaki serves crowd-pleasers like steak and<br />
scallops, but be sure to save room for the fried<br />
banana dessert (1811 Douglas Boulevard, Suite A1,<br />
Roseville, 916-771-4749, sohoteppanyaki.com); Kobe<br />
Teppanyaki & Sushi is known for their kobe beef<br />
(naturally), but try the Maine lobster tail and the crab<br />
rangoon (131 Ferrari Ranch Road, Lincoln, 916-543-6888,<br />
kobeteppanyakilincoln.com).<br />
DINNER & A SHOW<br />
Disappear a meal right into your belly at Mystique Dining: a five-course<br />
feast featuring entrées like aged slow-roasted prime rib or Cornish game<br />
hen (during <strong>November</strong>, upgrade to the “Chef’s Showcase” osso bucco for an<br />
additional $20) followed by an award-winning magic show (611 Sutter Street,<br />
Folsom, 916-293-9000, mystiquedining.com). Get a dose of movie magic while<br />
dining in luxury in front of the silver screen! Feast your eyes on <strong>November</strong><br />
releases like The Marvels, Napoleon, or The Hunger Games: The Ballad of<br />
Songbirds & Snakes: Studio Movie Grill has super-comfy recliners and plenty of<br />
to-die-for dishes, like warm salted pretzels, burgers on toasted brioche, and<br />
brownie sundaes (5140 Commons Drive, Rocklin, 279-999-7632, studiomoviegrill.<br />
com); Palladio LUXE Cinema serves delectable deep-fried cheese curds and<br />
an equally appetizing prosciutto flatbread (400 Palladio Parkway, Folsom, 916-<br />
984-7469, cinemawest.com). If you prefer your food with a side of live music,<br />
then The Green Room Social Club delivers‚ with impressive acts (both local<br />
and national) alongside tasty bites five days a week (251 Main Street, Placerville,<br />
530-957-3030, clubgreenroom.com).<br />

Board at Warfighter Overwatch, and Terry Carroll, publisher and CEO at STYLE <strong>Magazine</strong>.<br />
Warfighter Overwatch—whose<br />
motto is, “We don’t know them<br />
all, but we owe them all”—is an<br />
all-volunteer nonprofit based in Folsom<br />
that serves veterans and first responders<br />
around the U.S. by providing programs<br />
specifically designed to address their<br />
individual and familial mental health<br />
needs, while encouraging connection,<br />
resilience, and camaraderie.<br />
Last year alone, the organization<br />
paid for over 477 hours of mental health<br />
therapy for our nation's bravest and their<br />
families—and received the 2022 Nonprofit<br />
of the Year Award by Congressman Kevin<br />
Kiley for District 6.<br />
Under their Atlas Project, Warfighter<br />
Overwatch supports departments by<br />
funding fully trained therapeutic K-9s<br />
to aid them in Critical Incident Stress<br />
Debriefings and other occurrences that<br />
can negatively impact a first responder<br />
and community member’s mental health.<br />
They currently have six dogs placed<br />
within departments across the region,<br />
with more on the way.<br />
Via their SQUAD Recon program, they<br />
reunite post-9/11 combat squads who<br />
survived traumatic deployments and<br />
have been impacted by veteran suicide.<br />
Utilizing peer-to-peer support, physical<br />
activity, and social connectedness, the<br />
nonprofit helps rebuild resiliency skills<br />
that were once innate to the warfighters<br />
“[Our] mission is to ensure veterans<br />
and first responders have no barriers to<br />
mental health treatment for themselves<br />
or their loved ones,” says Executive<br />
Director Faun O’Neel.<br />
