I
Torch BEARER
f you’re looking for an average burrito, Tacos De Acalpulco isn’t the place for you. However, if you’re looking for a burst of flavor with each bite of flour tortilla, which lovingly holds together rice, beans, onions, cilantro, salsa, and guacamole with your choice of protein, then you’re at the right restaurant. Not only does Tacos De Acalpulco have several options to fulfill your burrito desires, but the ingredients are also fresh. Wet or dry, you can’t go wrong with a classic carne asada burrito—or if you’re feeling adventurous, a burrito with al pastor. Que rico! —Karen Garcia

Torch
hh Goshi, the home of so many wonderful evenings spent BEARER filling up on roll after delicious roll of sushi and getting schnockered on tiny glass after tiny glass of comforting hot sake. Goshi is where I’ve spent many of my best dates, girls’ nights, and birthday celebrations. It’s one of the few places in SLO where I’m willing—honored even—to wait more than an hour for a table, because I know in the end that iconic spicy albacore and garlic chip roll will be well worth it all. Throw in a few seared tuna and black pepper rolls along with the calamari tempura, and I’m willing to wait as long as it takes. Take my money and waste my time, Goshi! I’m yours forever! —Kasey Bubnash

BEARER here’s something so quaint and satisfying about a pit stop at Lincoln Deli, the popular neighborhood deli and market that sits unassumingly at the edge of a residential district in SLO. The building itself is a classic (a former butcher back in 1941), the food never disappoints, the staff is always so friendly, and the location harkens you back to a simpler time when shops and homes co-existed together as neighbors. Throw in a fantastic beer and wine selection, choice grocery items, and a recently redone patio, and you’ve got the full package. Whether it’s a breakfast burrito to soothe the pain of last night, or a sandwich to accompany you on a weekend adventure, there’s no bad time to enjoy a Lincoln experience. —Peter Johnson

ave you heard of the Bull & Finch Pub? Founded in 1969, BEARER it’s the Beacon Hill bar that became the inspiration for Cheers, the long-running TV series (1982-1993) about regulars at a Boston bar where “everybody knows your name.” McCarthy’s Irish Pub is the closest thing SLO has to the Cheers bar, and if you’re a regular, you’ll find your “usual” set in front of you before you’ve removed your wallet. Peruse the bar’s walls, and you’ll see photo collages of its many patrons, some long dead. Gone but not forgotten. Like any good dive bar, McCarthy’s is the family you choose. —Glen Starkey

O BEST PUBLIC ART Local artist Abbey Onikoyi’s work, which focuses on African culture, was featured at the SLO County Library earlier this year as part of Belonging, R.A.C.E. Matters SLO’s monthlong event meant to give voice to African Americans in the community.
BEARER nce while waiting for a movie to start at The Palm, an older gentleman sat in the seat directly next to mine, despite the fact that the rest of the theater was nearly entirely empty. I thought he might be waiting for and leaving room for a group of friends but no one else ever showed. He stayed next to me throughout the film. Several other times I’ve been to The Palm, audience members have burst out in applause at the end of the movies. These are the kinds of experiences you can’t get anywhere else. Oh, also, The Palm’s popcorn is the best I’ve ever had, and it’s dirt-cheap. Enough said. — Kasey Bubnash

It’s an award that means a lot to her, she said. However, she recently closed up her shop on Morro Street in SLO and is opening a new place in Atascadero on Sept. 1. “Going out with a bang,” she said. Pueblo at 8739 Plata Lane, suite E, will be a hip thrift spot with the same cool vintage vibe. Gabriel said people can still sell her their gently used goods as they always have, she just isn’t going to do consignment anymore. And rather than just focusing on women, the store is aiming to be someplace the whole family can shop: “Sustainable living for your tribe,” she said. Stay up to date on the transition by following Change of A Dress on Facebook and Instagram and checking the website. As Pueblo gets closer to opening, you can find it online at southernpueblo.com, Instagram @southernpueblo, and Facebook at Pueblo Curated Thrift. —Camillia Lanham

elonging: Local expressions of Black Empowerment and Possibility was a month-long event series with the goal of giving a voice to members of the San Luis Obispo County community who are of African American descent. Local organization R.A.C.E. Matters SLO curated events and public art displays from February to April 2020 to tell stories and experiences about living in a predominately Caucasian, rural area. The events included an exhibit of community member portraits, live storytelling, family music events, a black business forum, and a documentary profiling business owner Terry Guilford. The free events and displays were open to the public. —Karen Garcia

Best Radio Station KCBX 90.1FM
F
Torch
BEARER orty-five years ago, on July 27, 1975, local National Public Radio affiliate, KCBX 90.1FM, first signed on the air, delivering NPR programming as well as jazz and classical music. Over its long history, it’s grown into a trusted local news source, a place for a variety of local voices and opinions, a purveyor of a wide range of music and talk programming, and the mastermind behind the longest running and most beloved local music festival, Live Oak. It’s true that community radio is kept afloat not by ad dollars generated from an incessant drone of soul-draining commercials, but instead by small donations from listeners who cherish and love it. —Glen Starkey

Pismo Preserve
I
BEARER t didn’t take long for the Pismo Preserve to take the reins as our readers’ favorite hike in SLO County, and how can you argue with it? The freshly minted South County open space, which opened in January after years of anticipation, offers residents an 11-mile network of trails that meander through 880 acres of oak-studded coastal hills—offering incredible views of the Pacific Ocean along the way. Thanks to COVID-19, hikers only had a short taste of this open space, as the need for social distancing forced its closure in March. Good news though: The preserve recently reopened on July 6. Don’t blow it, guys! Stay safe and keep your distance. —Peter Johnson

Best Controversy or Scandal
Kristin Smart Case/ Your Own Backyard Podcast

his is going to be a controversial opinion. I was never really that enthralled with the Kristin Smart case. It was more local lore than anything else, something to keep an eye on for developments and the occasional billboard on the highway. But the Your Own Backyard podcast changed that. Somebody else took a deep dive into case obsession and packaged their research into one of my favorite forms of media to consume. Local Chris Lambert did a service to the community, invigorating the case with thoughtful reporting and drawing national attention to the ins and outs of the decades-old case. Who knows what comes next, but I, for one, will definitely be paying close attention this time. —Camillia Lanham
