| editor’s letter |

otherhood has made me a complete a nd utter softie. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve always been sentimental and had a sensitive soul, but ever since giving birth to my baby girl, even song lyrics and sappy car commercials make me cry. I don’t know if it’s my hormones or because parenthood is such an emotional, joyous journey, but waterproof mascara is now a makeup musthave (when I actually wear makeup, that is!). Most recently, my eyes turned teary after reading this issue’s Get to Know article, “Super Women ,” where Ta ra Menda n ha sha res four moms’ stories of strength, success, and selflessness that’ll have you laughing and— if you’re like me—crying. And though every mom deserves to be recognized (it really is the hardest job in the world), the ones profiled here truly do rise about the rest. Turn to page 16 to read all about them, including their best words of mom wisdom (“Be present and take lots of pictures with your eyes; time flies by so fast.”)—and remember to honor your own mom come May 9. (Check out page 42 for a Mother’s Day Gift Guide featuring some great, locally found treasures.) If you prefer salivating over sobbing, flip to “Holy Cow” on page 55 where we spotlight over 25 of our region’s best burgers, including the beauty on our cover from Bricks Eats & Drinks. Having grown up on McDonald’s cheeseburgers, I must say, America’s quintessential comfort food has come a long way from the frozen patties and processed cheese of my past. House-made buns, farm-fresh fixings, and over-the-top toppings like bacon jam, garlic pickles, and fried green beans are just a sampling of what awaits. We even showcase a few meat-free offerings (for the veg heads out there) and highlight our favorite French fries. Another perfect burger pairing? A big, bold beer; for five STYLEtested and approved IPAs, check out “West is Best” (page 96). May also marks National Bike Month—a movement meant to showcase the myriad benefits of biking and encourage more —Hodding people to pedal places. Luckily, my daughter is just as obsessed Carter with bikes as my husband and me, which means family rides on the American River Bike Trail are a regular activity for us. Her easy-to-install, secure, and stylish seat (sold locally at Bob’s Cycle Center!) is featured in “Back in the Saddle” (page 40), along with 12 more cycling essentials. Make a pledge to hop on your bike as often as possible (and always wear a helmet) by visiting mayisbikemonth.com. And remember: A post-ride reward—like a big, juicy burger and freshly poured pint—should be part of every adventure. Cheers!

“There are two gifts we should give our children; one is roots, and the other is wings.”

Are you an

early bird or a

night owl?

“I had to wake up early for a flight recently and was shocked to learn that it's still dark at 6:30 a.m. so that should tell you how often I'm awake before 8 a.m.…”—Suzie Dundas

“It depends! I enjoy the quiet before folks ‘get to the office,’ as it gives me time to catch up on emails, etc., but when we’re on deadline, I can pull an allnighter—or a late-nighter—no problem. I definitely like my eight hours of sleep, when I can get it, though!”—Wendy Sipple

“Can I pick the middle of the day? I’m not cheery in the morning and definitely not one to stay up late!”—Theresa Arnold

“Ever since working at Starbucks when my shifts would start before sunrise, I’ve been a morning person. After all, the early bird gets the worm—and the freshest coffee—right?!” —Megan Wiskus

| PEOPLE & PLACES IN THE NEWS |

Congrats to the City of Folsom for being named the #2 “Best Lake Town to Live In” (based on affordability, weather, safety, economy, education, health, and quality of life across the U.S.), according to personal finance website WalletHub.

Construction on The Venue at Thunder Valley, the casino/resort’s 150,000-squarefoot entertainment venue has commenced. Once complete (early 2023), The Venue will feature 4,500 seats and host musical acts, comedic performances, and sporting events, in addition to providing a large event space for conferences and banquets. For updates and more info, visit thundervalleyresort.com/entertainment/venues.

Local artist Silvie Park recently donated an angel wing mural to Historic Folsom. Sited on the corner of Sutter Street and Wool Street, her inspiration was the city’s motto: "Distinctive by Nature,” hence the local landmarks, activities, and native flowers hidden within the wings. The Folsom Historical Society is excited to welcome back visitors to the Folsom History Museum and Pioneer Village. The museums and gift shop are open at a reduced capacity Friday-Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Support for these local museums helps further establish their new museum, the in-progress Folsom Chinese Heritage Musuem. For more info, visit folsomhistoricalsociety.org. Through May 14, emerging and established visual artists ages 21+ are invited to apply for a $2,500 Art Business Accelerator Grant, which will arm creatives with the necessary business skills to succeed and make a living through their artwork. Visit artworkarchive. com/grants/art-business-accelerator to apply.

Placer Food Bank (PFB) launched a new online donation program that provides a safe, easy way to contribute funds for perishable and non-perishable food items. The simple-to-use platform allows individuals and organizations to select from bags of fresh fruits and vegetables; boxes of non-perishable, pantry stable goods; or kid-friendly snack items to support PFB’s backpack program. To donate, visit donate. placerfoodbank.org/event/donatefood.

Super Women 4 Moms of the Year BY TARA MENDANHA

GAYLE GARBOLINO-MOJICA

Mom of 2, Roseville

ayle has built an impressive resume all while raising two self-sufficient boys: Jack (25), who studied mechanical engineering and is currently finishing a paramedic program; and Max (20), a talented soccer player who’s majoring in finance. The Placer County Superintendent of Schools is currently on her fourth term and oversees 16 school districts, 150 schools, and over 75,000 students. “I lead by building relationships,” she says of her successful tenure. Her long list of accomplishments includes chair and board positions on countless education committees and receiving of half a dozen professional awards. What has your journey through motherhood been like? I’ve lived through the challenges of working, motherhood, and self-care. I [returned to work] after six weeks of maternity leave for my first child. I got my master’s degree in education thereafter and interviewed for an administrative job just three days after giving birth to my youngest, joining the new position when he was three weeks old. When I ran for county superintendent, my sons—five and nine—helped distribute flyers with a cute “Vote for my mom!” pitch. What’s your parenting style? I wanted my children to be well-rounded, so I paid attention not only to school but their social life and extracurricular activities. I didn’t want stressed-out kids who had unreasonable expectations that took a toll on their mental health. They’re educated, responsible, respectful, and caring adults—that’s a home run. What are your dreams for yourself and your children? I want my boys to be healthy and happy, and I want to make sure that I raised them to be responsible, respectful, and caring. And they are. Now, I wonder what type of parents they will be, and I hope they incorporate some of my parenting strategies when raising their own kids. Q&A

One thing that gets you through the day: I strive to be the best person that I can be for that day. Nothing more, nothing less. Best part about being a mom: I love moving from being an active parent of boys to now being a parent of adult children. Parenting still happens, just in a different way. Not-so-great part about being a mom: The stress. There were times when my boys were younger that life was stressful. Once I dealt with it, I became a better mom. Best mom advice: Love your kids but set boundaries. They may seem like angels, but they don’t always act like angels. Absolute mom must-have: High-quality childcare that you trust. You cannot succeed without it. When the going gets tough…Throw yourself a 30-minute pity party then get up, shake yourself off, and keep moving forward.

get to know

ASHLIE BRYANT

Mom of 4, El Dorado Hills

shlie is a self-proclaimed type A personality, which comes in handy when you’re the CEO—and co-founder—of antitrafficking nonprofit, 3Strands Global Foundation (3strands.com). “My faith grounds me every day and I believe in the power of the human spirit,” she says. She’s been awarded two State Resolutions and will finish her Public Leadership Credential from Harvard and begin her master’s in public administration from Cornell. To top it off, Ashlie is also a triathlete and mom to four (now five, with the addition of her daughter-in-law, Claire): David (24), who’s a numbers whiz in finance; Grace (20), who loves kids and is studying to be a teacher; Matthew (18), an adventurer and freshman at college; and witty Jonathan (15), a high school sophomore. What has your journey through motherhood been like? It’s been pure joy with lots of ups, downs, and laughter. Being a 30year cancer survivor gave me a different perspective on parenting. Each day is a gift, and we pack a lot into it. I’ve made parenting mistakes, but I learned to apologize. This helps my kids see that mistakes can happen but so can forgiveness. What’s your parenting style? I’ve used the love and logic parenting technique for 17 years. I’ve also used motivational interviewing, aka, listening. It meant I needed to learn to not formulate my response as my kids were sharing. It has been one of the toughest things to implement but helps foster trust and openness. Now, parenting is “letting go and letting them fly.” What are your dreams for yourself and your children? I want to continue to advocate for children and protect them from exploitation. [I hope my kids] are grounded in their faith, choose jobs that challenge them and fill their cup, choose spouses who make them laugh, and remain close to each other.

One thing that gets you through the day: Hope. It can get you through the toughest times and it sustains me every day. Best part about being a mom: Every part. I remember telling my mom, “I love this stage.” Then I would say it again and again. She laughed one time saying, “Ashlie, you’ve loved every stage!” Not-so-great part about being a mom: When natural consequences happen and your child really hurts from them. Best mom advice: Be present and take lots of pictures with your eyes. Time flies by so fast. Absolute mom must-have: Animals. They give kids a taste of responsibility and demonstrate what it means to have someone disobey and how to love them anyway. When the going gets tough…Take a deep breath, pray, and step forward.

Nikki helps run her daughter’s nonprofit, MJ’s Project (mjsproject.org), which provides necessities to teens in need. “I grew up in the foster system and lived on the street. There were never any resources available, so I know how vital it is to have basic life essentials and guidance.” Nikki also finds the time to volunteer with Friends of Folsom and is a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. What are your biggest accomplishments? My children! And I’ve successfully created a resource for over 300 struggling teens. I’ve overcome all my challenges, put myself through college, got my kids in, or set for, college, and have risen out of government assistance to be selfsufficient.

What are your dreams for yourself and your children? My dream is to own our own home that no one can take from us. (We just moved from low-income apartments to a house.) My dream for my children is to be successful to where no one can take anything from them! Q&A

One thing that gets you through the day: The thought of my kids being successful as independent adults. Best part about being a mom: I’m able to guide them through all their challenges in order to be successful adults. Not-so-great part about being a mom: Learning to accept that each child is their own person no matter what you set them up for or hoped for. Best mom advice: Teach them, guide them, and accept that they will be their own individual. Absolute mom must-have: Whiteboard, crockpot, and Instant Pot. When the going gets tough…Remember to be kind to yourself! Just know you did your best and they will always carry the best parts of you.

DAPHNE COPENHAVER

Mom of 2, Granite Bay

aphne is decidedly driven and diligent. She graduated college with a degree in biological sciences and proceeded to study health care administration and finance. She worked as a health care consultant and in the California State Legislature, then completed a law degree, and now works for the Kaiser Roseville and Sacramento Medical Centers. She volunteers her time on the McGeorge School of Law Diversity Board and sits on the board of KidsFirst (kidsfirstnow.org), a nonprofit that prevents child abuse. Serious stuff aside, Daphne loves a good book, traveling to Latin America, and creative architectural activities—having recently designed a Spanish tile fountain. “All [this is] just a fraction of my persona…I focus my time and attention on two beautiful children,” she says of Ethan (6) who’s precocious and loves Medieval Times; and Esme (3) who, Daphne says, is hilarious. What has your journey through motherhood been like? Motherhood challenges time management, patience, communication, and discipline. We learn so much about ourselves as we care for our children. I have had to balance my career and be available for my children, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

/stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags

What’s your parenting style? I believe setting expectations is key as well as appropriate boundaries. That said, it’s sometimes hard to adhere to when a cute three-year-old looks up teary-eyed asking why they’re in time-out after hitting their brother. What are your dreams for yourself and your children? I often reflect on what world my children will inherit. The dream for a kinder, gentler, more inclusive, and thoughtful world is worth aspiring to and starts within ourselves; opening a door for someone, saying hello to a stranger, or simply asking how someone is doing is the example I set for my children. Q&A

One thing that gets you through the day: Knowing that I get to come home to my amazing, supportive, and funny husband, and our two little ones. Best part about being a mom: Being someone else’s support system and cheerleader in order to help them to become the best person they can be. Not-so-great part about being a mom: Always feeling like you’re not doing enough or could be doing more. Best mom advice: Trust your gut and know that you’re doing the absolute best. Your kids think you’re doing a fantastic job at being their mom. Absolute mom must-have: Coffee machine. When the going gets tough…I put myself in timeout or do an activity outside.

What has your journey through motherhood been like? I was a teen mom, going to college, then attempting to further my career as a young mom. Being a single parent can be overwhelming, and I’ve had to learn how to not be hard on myself. It’s vital to get out and breathe or dance in the rain. I’ve built stuff with my son and daughter and enjoy playing with my toddler. I love making memories.

Write Stuff The

by NELLY KISLYANKA

The term calligraphy comes from the marrying of two Greek words, “kallos” (meaning beauty) and “graphein” (meaning to write). But calligraphy is more than beautiful handwriting—it’s an ancient art form practiced in cultures all over the world, like China and India, each developing its own aesthetic. Hand lettering had to compete with the invention of printing, but calligraphers today continue the tradition with mediums like wedding invitations, diplomas, custom artwork, and even tattoos. Meet six local artists who have made a business of it.

calligraphygirl.com, @coffeehousescribe, @thecalligraphygirl What attracts you to lettering/ calligraphy?

I’ve always loved to write. When I turned 21, I received a calligraphy pen for my birthday and was instantly obsessed. I found it relaxing and could spend hours practicing. Calligraphy is such a stress reliever.

How did you develop your skills?

I learned calligraphy by looking at calligraphy books and copying the different styles. Over the years, I picked up more styles, using different type of pens. My favorite right now is brush calligraphy.

What’s your favorite service that you provide?

Teaching calligraphy classes. I was doing different types of classes until the pandemic hit and then transitioned to doing them on Zoom. Now that the weather is getting better and things are opening, I’m looking forward to getting back to in-person classes, even if they’re outdoors and distanced. I love watching people learn and fall in love with the art of lettering. My kids’ summer calligraphy classes are the most fun, because children catch on so fast, and I know they’ll spend less time on devices once they discover such a creative outlet.

In our world of fonts and computer-focused communication, hand lettering is such a warm, personal change. It humanizes our snail mail, our media, the invitations we receive, and the branding we see. No one can write exactly, precisely like anyone else. These days, it’s truly an art form instead of a stuffy etiquette expectation. I also love that it’s accessible to all—anyone can practice with different pens and create their own style.

/stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags

I’ve been playing around with calligraphy and hand lettering since I was young. I volunteered to make place cards for special occasions at every opportunity. Practice makes perfect, as with anything we want to get better at. There are so many resources that can help someone learn to do calligraphy and hand lettering today: various pens with different tips, smooth writing tablets and graph paper, books, online courses, Instagram how-tos. I’ve used all of them at different times and am also guilty of wandering the “pen” aisle (and buying way too many!). Expensive pens, cheap pens…I’m obsessed. I recently bought my daughter a kids’ hand lettering book, so we’ll see if that sticks and this all gets passed on.

What’s the most interesting project you’ve worked on so far?

Watching snail mail explode during COVID-19 has been a huge bright spot in the last year. Knowing that I’ve been a part of encouraging people to connect with others and forge connection during such an isolating time feels like a real accomplishment. It only takes one person telling you, “That card struck a chord with my sister when she got it,” and my whole week is made.

SACRAMENTO, pigmentandparchment.com, @pigmentandparchment What attracts you to lettering/ calligraphy?

I’ve always loved everything made by hand. Signs, ephemera, movie posters—all these were things I collected and fell in love with when I was little. I was always into being a pen pal, so I spent my formative years obsessing over stationery, postage, and fancy scripts to delight friends and family. When I was older, I incorporated lettering into my art, and my high school art teacher would laugh at me and was tickled. In college, I worked as a sign artist at Trader Joe’s, which is what really ramped up my appreciation for hand lettering and introduced me to calligraphy.

What’s the most interesting project you’ve worked on so far?

Probably Mary Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy’s wedding stationery. What made it so interesting (besides that I grew up a literal cardcarrying member of the Olsen twins’ fan club) was that I didn’t know about the event until the week of. It was Thanksgiving week, and I didn’t know it was for a wedding the whole time! I was told it was for a fancy Black Friday dinner for their fashion business. Then, the day after their wedding, my friend texted me about them having bowls of cigarettes at their secret wedding, and I told her to my surprise I did their wedding stationery without knowing there was even going to be one!

What’s your most notable achievement?

Working on the wedding of a Vogue art director was a real “pinch me” moment. Other than that, I’m lucky enough to connect with people, make art every day, and be paid enough to travel and have a balanced life. Keeping it a small boutique business where I still do everything by hand, with care and quality—in a world where everything is about automation and cheap mass production—is an achievement I’m proud of.

Nikki Reif SACRAMENTO, lamplightlettering.com @lamplight_lettering What attracts you to lettering/ calligraphy?

As a secondgeneration lettering artist, I grew up watching my late father, a sign painter by trade, paint perfect strokes. Drippy 1 Shot paint cans, the trail of wet paint that followed his brushes so skillfully, and the seemingly endless artistic possibilities of the alphabet captivated me from a young age. There’s a sense of nostalgia when I see calligraphy and lettering art. It wasn’t until I was married with four kids that calligraphy became a real passion pursuit of my own. I found my father’s lettering books while digging through my art supplies one day, and the rest is history! Calligraphy allows me to express myself and decompress from the stresses of mom life. I discovered a community of artists online as well who share the same crazy passion for letters. I love that calligraphy is meditative, peaceful, and cathartic. It connects me to my father, to history, and forces me to slow down and breathe deeply.

What’s your most notable achievement?

I’m most proud of teaching myself how to plan and teach workshops, including my first one at West Elm in Roseville. It was all worth it when one of my students told me she had been having a very rough year and was trying to find ways to manage her anxiety. When she left my workshop, it felt like she had just walked out of a massage. She was so relaxed and happy and couldn’t wait to work on her calligraphy! That feels like the ultimate achievement to me.

What’s your favorite service that you provide and why?

I would say the most meaningful and humbling project so far are script tattoos. The fact that someone wants to put my handwriting permanently on their body blows my mind. It’s such an honor and fills me with so much gratitude! I also really enjoy window murals—they’re such a fun way to elevate a brand and attract customers’ attention.

/stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags

Fluoride Is Your Friend. Fluoride, aka nature’s cavity fighter, is a mineral found in the earth’s core. Before our teeth come in, our body absorbs it through nutrients to help build a resistance to tooth decay. Once our teeth are in, brushing or using other dental products with fluoride helps rebuild the eroded enamel and reverse the effects of tooth decay. With the risk of tooth decay lowered by using fluoride products, your chances of a heart attack or stroke also decrease.—Gregory G. Olsen, DDS, FICOI 1

vegetables do wonders for your teeth. They help clean plaque and keep you healthy, plus the vitamins and nutrients found in them can protect gums and other tissues. Staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet is an important part of good oral hygiene.— Ryan Grandpre, DDS, Kids Care Dental 3

Rinse the Right Way.

Contrary to popular belief, you’re not supposed to rinse your mouth with only water immediately after brushing. When you do this, you take all that wonderful fluoride (see tip #1) and spit it down the drain without giving it enough time to attach to your teeth and patch up all the worn-down enamel. Instead, rinse with water before you spit the foamy leftover toothpaste out or use a fluoride rinse after brushing. —Gregory G. Olsen, DDS, FICOI 4

Visit the Dentist Regularly.

The dentist will clean your teeth and treat any potential little problems before they turn into big ones. Routine dental checkups are essential to a lifetime of healthy, happy smiles.—Ryan Grandpre, DDS, Kids Care Dental 5

Know When to Toss Your Toothbrush. Your toothbrush

Letting it sit around for too long may lead to serious problems. Brushing won’t fight plaque alone, so include regular flossing in your teeth-cleaning routine.—Ryan Grandpre, DDS, Kids Care Dental The ADA recommends that you brush gently, in short strokes, at a 45-degree angle for two minutes. This prevents the bristles from removing the enamel that protects your teeth. When brushing the backs of your teeth, it’s best to turn the brush vertically and make multiple short strokes on every tooth.— Gregory G. Olsen, DDS, FICOI

Take a Hike

NAVIGATION BASICS When people think of navigation, they imagine finding their way after becoming lost. While this can happen, it’s also about tracking your progress as you go, reducing the probability of getting lost.

Here are a few pointers:

Susie Lake by RYAN MARTINEZ

LOCATED IN: South Lake Tahoe. DISTANCE: 7.9 miles out-and-back. DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Moderate. FUEL UP: Getaway Café (tahoegetawaycafe.

com)—conveniently located in Meyers—serves freshly prepared alpine comfort cuisine in warm, inviting environs. “99% of everything on their menu is made from scratch with love,” including the buttermilk banana nut pancakes loaded with walnuts, cinnamon, and caramelized bananas; coconutcrusted French toast; and fresh-baked biscuits smothered in sausage gravy. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: The road to the trailhead is rough (although most cars do fine). Expect rocky terrain the entire way. Arriving at

Susie Lake makes it all worthwhile. Late storms can complicate navigation, so make sure you download the map before leaving. WHY WE LOVE IT: From

waterfalls to alpine lakes, this glacierformed wilderness has been the muse of photographers, writers, and artists alike. Susie Lake lives up to the hype. TRAIL NOTES: Bring shoes with traction,

plenty of water, and protect yourself from mosquitos. Leashed dogs are welcome but bring some boots for them, too. Dress in layers and enjoy the wilderness.

Download GPS maps. This ensures you can find your way (as long as you have battery). Learn map and compass basics. While this can be an undertaking, understanding how to identify landmarks and relate them to your map can save your life. Look backwards! Most people focus on looking at what’s ahead. Looking back every few hundred feet will help you get familiar with your surroundings and help navigate your way back if you do become lost.

Q: HOW CAN I BEST PREPARE MY CHILD FOR PRESCHOOL? A: Here are some easy ways to help ease the transition: • Start to let your child make decisions by giving them a couple of choices, such as what to wear. • Teach your child to be self-sufficient when using the restroom. • Read to your child; the more vocabulary they hear, the better their speaking and communication skills will be. Children also learn to become better readers by example. • While driving, sing the ABCs, point out signs and name their shapes, play games such as “name that color,” and/ or point to names of stores and sound out the first letter. • Write simple words on index cards and hang them on the appropriate object, such as “door” or “wall.”

Listening to music has been a passion of mine for more than 40 years. As a young man, I was fortunate enough to work in the consumer electronics industry, an experience that opened doors and gave me a perspective I only dreamed possible as a melomaniac teenager.

VINYL REVIVAL

by TERRY CARROLL

So, does this make me qualified to review gear? While not a “reviewer” per se, I am an enthusiast, so I want to introduce you, or possibly reintroduce you, to a hobby of mine that’s given me great pleasure throughout my life: Listening to music; more specifically, to records. You’ve likely seen stories over the past few years about LPs—vinyl if you will, making a big comeback. Well, it’s true—LPs now outsell CDs in the retail world, and for good reason: They’re hip and sound spectacular! However, listening to records is a process, at least it should be. If you want the best from them, they should be played on high-quality equipment and properly taken care of. You clean your records and treat them like the jewels they are. It’s an activity I find cathartic; it helps set the mood and is part of the excitement of listening to wellrecorded music.

NAD C 316BEE Rega Planar 1

LS50 Meta

The reason I say “well-recorded” is because there’s a killer on the loose, and little to nothing is being done. The killer’s name? MP3. Now, let’s be clear; we’ve allowed this to happen, all in the name of convenience—no different than frozen pizza or drive-through car washes. But MP3s are a travesty when it comes to quality. These simple little music files, being pumped into your ears by headsets that have no business even being called that, have reduced music to being a convenience, and its now fooling generations into thinking that this is what music sounds like. It’s like being told a Hyundai Elantra Sport is going to deliver a Porsche 911 experience. It’s not— it’s marketing. At this point, you may be asking yourself, “OK, so where do I start?” I’m glad you asked, because I want to share

with you the simple, sheer delight of quality listening. Part of the fun of this hobby is finding gear you like: the looks, the functionality, the overall design, and the value. There’s a lot of product out there, so before I get to the turntable (TT), let me recommend a few products to pair with your TT—gear that offers both great value and sound. Think of it as that bottle of Pinot Noir you bought for $10 that surprises the heck out of you. First, you’ll want an integrated amp, and my choice would be the NAD C 316BEE (nadelectronics.com). It’s under $500, incorporates a phono preamp section, and simply put, sounds great. Speakers are such an objective thing to recommend. There are about 30 times the number of speaker brands and models than there are autos to choose from, and in the end, there are many great-sounding speakers—it comes down to your ear, the room you’re listening in, the kind of power you’re driving them with, and the kind of sound that engages you. Here are a couple of products I own (or have owned), that'll serve you well without breaking the bank. The original KEF LS50 was released more than a decade ago and quickly won just about every major award on

the planet. I own a pair and love them. KEF decided it was time to make a good speaker even better and recently released the LS50 Meta (us.kef.com). It’s a stand mount speaker that delivers astonishing sound and at $1499 SRP is considered by many reviewers one of audio’s best values. Next up, a floor standing speaker that comes from another company I’ve lived with in my home and office for more than 20 years—Bowers & Wilkins, or B&W. This company’s speakers, like KEF,are regarded in the industry as one of the best brands around. They offer superb engineering, quality of build, and sound that—when set up correctly—will make you think they have disappeared. The B&W 603 S2 Anniversary Edition (bowerswilkins.com) is a floor standing speaker that will take you to places you never dreamed you could go for $2,000 per pair. Impeccably designed and engineered, used exclusively at Abbey Road Studios (yes, that one!), B&W will deliver outstanding sound and is another product that delivers an experience way beyond their cost. If you want to spend less but still want quality sound, check out the ELAC brand (elac.com). Now that you’re dialed in to the key parts of your new system, its time to find the right turntable to start enjoying your new/old hobby of listening to records. Turntables have seen a massive resurgence over the past decade, one that few expected, but one that is welldeserved. Do LPs played on a TT sound better than other mediums like a CD or digital/streamed files? My answer is yes. If this is the first TT you’ve bought in more than 30 years, or ever, here are a few things you should consider: Buy a turntable that is “plug and play”; one that matches well with your integrated amp or receiver (has phono preamp); and, finally, one that comes with a premounted cartridge—the device that houses the stylus and translates the information from the record grooves into the signal that turns it into music via the preamp and your integrated amp.

Your choices are many, but again, a few stand out. My journey back to listening to records started when I bought a “plug and play” Rega Planar 1 (rega.co.uk). Listening to a good record for the first time on the British made Rega took me to that place I realized I had been missing. And so I jumped back in, finding my old records and jumped back in and cleaning them, which in and of itself is part of the romance of records and a mustdo if you’re going to really enjoy yourself and the music. Three albums in, and I was hooked again, just like that day in 1975 when I bought my first “good” stereo system. Enjoying the Planar 1 as I did, I was able to get my hands on another turntable, the MoFi

StudioDeck Foundation Turntable (mofielectronics.

com), that did something I never expected—it took the pre-set turntable concept to a level, and at a price I never thought possible. It’s not fair of me to compare the MoFi at $999 to a $500 TT. That said, while the price may be double, its performance quotient at this price point is hard to top. The “made in the USA” MoFi is, in my mind, the best pre-set TT you’ll find at under $1,000. Everything about it exudes quality—the design, the build, and the sound. The MoFi brand has been producing high-quality LPs and CDs for discerning customers for a long time, and their foray into the hardware world has been heralded as nothing less than terrific. With two turntables in the line, the list of positive reviews keeps growing. This is that rare, value-oriented turntable that deserves to be the centerpiece of your system. If my love of records was reborn with the Rega, the Mofi StudioDeck Foundation Turntable has me, as Bob Dylan said so beautifully, “knockin‘ on heaven’s door.”

5 LPs FOR YOUR COLLECTION Great music, superb recordings…these records will help you to hear how great your turntable can sound. Dire Straits: Making Movies While many would go to Brothers in Arms, my money and system says Making Movies is the band’s definitive record. Keep your ear tuned for the stellar piano work from Roy Bittan of the E Street Band.—TC

Frank Sinatra: Sinatra–Basie: An Historic Musical First This recording is ultra-quiet, Frank’s voice is near perfect, and The Count and his orchestra is, as always, first class. I listen to this record often—I mean, really often.—TC

Keb' Mo': Keb Mo If you don’t know Keb Mo, you need to. This record is the Mobile Fidelity version, sonically outstanding. The music brings a smile to my face with every play. Keb is a singer/songwriter/ musician with few peers.—TC

The Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out What the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper did for rock, Brubecks’s Time Out did for jazz. Of the five LPs mentioned, make this your first purchase. Fantastic recording? Great music? Cool factor having it in your collection? Check! Check! Check! Released in 1959, the music is timeless.—TC

Linda Ronstadt: Simple Dreams Songs from the likes of Buddy H, Zevon, Orbison, and The Stones. Background vocals from Dolly Parton, Don Henley, and JD Souther. A band consisting of some of LA’s top Laurel Canyon musicians and produced by the legendary Doug Sax, Simple Dreams is a tour de force. —Tom Hallock MAY 2021 |

Hot, juicy hamburgers are always a hit. Something about a fresh-baked bun slathered with sauce, perfectly cooked patty, and extra-fresh fixings make America’s quintessential cuisine a real crowd-pleaser. And though not all burgers are created equal, our region is full of some truly meaty (and non-meat) masterpieces. Keep reading for over 25 of our favorites.

Don’t mess with Texas—unless we’re talking ’bout burgers! The El Paso Burger from Bricks Eats & Drinks pays tribute to the Lone Star State with its big, bold flavors. Served with bacon, fried onions, cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, and piquant chipotle BBQ sauce on a brioche roll, it’s a welcome change if you’re suffering from basic burger burnout. PRO TIP: You can substitute gluten-free bread or

vegan patties for any of their burgers—and, yes, they’re equally tasty! 482 Main Street, Placerville, 530-303-3480, bricksonmainstreet.com

If you think a restaurant famous for its seafood can’t make a mouthwatering burger, you’re in for a surprise! The Chef’s Signature Burger at Scott’s Seafood Roundhouse takes a traditional American dish up a notch with high-brow ingredients: buttery brie cheese and bacon jam you see gracing cheese boards of high-end wineries. Staying true to the American spirit of a burger, Scott’s Seafood generously garnishes their burger in Woodford Reserve BBQ sauce and finishes it off with crispy onion strings and peppery arugula.

Branch out from your ordinary all-American burger with the Peanut Butter Burger from Brickyard. Starting from a solid base—a patty made from a blend of fresh short rib, brisket, and juicy chuck—the adventure continues with the minimal but creative toppings: Thai peanut and hoisin sauce, which brings a unique sweet and salty flavor; sharp white cheddar, and pickled jalapeños for a hint of heat. Topping it all off is everyone’s favorite: bacon.

PRO TIP: Choose from a rotating menu of gelato

flavors to end your meal on a sweet note.

Considering just how good the food at Mom & Pop Chicken Shop is, it shouldn’t come

So, you’ve decided to grab a cold one at

Folsom Tap House. Why not soak up the

as a surprise that they serve one wicked cheeseburger—the Original Bad-Ass. The name says it all here. Their signature buns are unbelievably soft and buttery but hardy enough to hold together a juicy patty, with loads of hickory bacon cooked to perfection, and all the fixings—drunken Jack & Coke onions with a caramelized and smoky flavor, “shop sauce,” garlic pickles, and iceberg lettuce.

suds with a burger? Their menu ensures crowdpleasers like the popular Oklahoma Smash Burger (“smashed” with sauteed onions, Dijon mustard, pickles, and American cheese). It’s a fan favorite for good reason—they don’t skimp on quality or quantity—but you’ll need to bring your appetite, as the portions are plentiful.

PRO TIP: For a couple extra dollars, you can

25005 Blue Ravine Road, Suite 140, Folsom, 916-292-5711, folsomtaphouse.com

upgrade to a double patty.

PRO TIP: Order the horseradish white cheddar

PRO TIP: Enjoy live music with your meal

Thursday-Saturday.

Whether you head to Amador County for a day of wine tasting or stay for the weekend, you’re in good hands at Hotel Sutter—especially if the craving for a burger comes. Sit outside on their cozy balcony overlooking historic Main Street or on the spacious back patio and dig into the Whiskey Burger. This meaty, messy mouthful comes complete with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheddar, with a hefty helping of crispy onion strings, house-made BBQ sauce, and—for those who dare—a $5 whiskey shooter beforehand. Ask your server for an extra stack of napkins, because there’s no neat way to devour this delight. PRO TIP: What’s better than a burger and fries? A burger and beats! Enjoy live music every Friday and Saturday evening on their back patio.

It’s been quite the night and now you’re left with the biggest hangover. What do you do? Make a beeline for Bar 101 Eats & Drinks, of course. Their Hangover Burger is just the cure for your boozy blues. This Angus beef patty is topped with a comforting fried egg, bacon, hash browns, and American cheese, and comes with copious amounts of fries (or chips or salad). It’s like a warm embrace in the form of a burger. PRO TIP: Bar 101 not only brings the cure but also the celebration. Check out their end-of-week live music nights or their Wednesday open mic night.

Best Burgers! Tom’s Burgers & Frosty brings the

nostalgia with their old-school offerings. Fantastic frozen treats, banana splits, and malted shakes aside, this joint also makes some good burgers and sandwiches. Their Ranch Burger is served on a soft but firm hoagie roll and holds lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onions, and your choice of American, Jack, or Swiss cheese. It’s a tasty mouthful and a great precursor to their even tastier desserts!

We could never forget about our pescatarian friends in this burger roundup. The Independent Restaurant & Bar makes a Salmon Avocado Burger that will keep you frequenting this Placerville locale. The patty, made from certified organic Pacific King salmon, shallots, and dill, mingles with the simultaneously tangy and sweet citrus-honey-dill aioli (made in-house) for a fresh, never-too-heavy bite. The creaminess of the avocado and crispness of traditional trimmings (lettuce, tomato, and red onions) seal the deal on this palate pleaser.

PRO TIP: Add an extra patty or pastrami (extra charge) to really “beef” up your burger.

567 Placerville Drive, Placerville, 530-2958199, toms-burgersfrosty.edan.io

PRO TIP: Burgers are served with a choice of fries, salad, or soup—we recommend the unique turnip fries!

The Downtown Burger, stuffed with three types of meat, from Goose Port Public House is every carnivore’s dream. An entire third of a pound of Angus chuck means one juicy patty; slabs of bacon add a smoky note, and pulled pork smothered in BBQ sauce is thrown in for good measure. Topped with cheddar cheese and onion rings, this beauty is held together by a toasted bun with mild horseradish crème. PRO TIP: Check out Goose

Port’s website for live events and UFC viewing schedules.

The Redneck Burger offered at The Dive Burgers & Brews evokes a southern kitchen—on steroids. A burger is comfort food on its own but add fried green beans and redneck slaw to a freshly ground beef patty, and you’ve got downhome cooking on another level. Sautéed mushrooms, chopped bacon, and pickled jalapeños add more complexity to the flavor profile. For the finishing touches, cheddar cheese and “beast sauce” bring this mouthful together. Oh, and it’s served with swirl-shaped house fries that are to die for. PRO TIP: Get a handcrafted milkshake (topped with tons of whip cream) to slurp alongside your burger.

La Provence Restaurant & Terrace delivers the French (fan)fare with its Provençal décor and plates, namely the Hamburger Provençal. Half a pound of Angus beef sits on a house-made bun topped with sweet, caramelized onions. If you’re a fan of said onions, upgrade your side to the French onion soup (extra charge), for if there’s anyone who’s mastered this soup, it’s them! Aside from the French, of course. PRO TIP: Skip the beer with your burger and opt for a

Provençal wine. Their Tour de l’Isle Rouge is an elegant accompaniment to any meal—including burgers.

For those times you’re keeping a close eye on your waistline, a turkey burger is a more health-conscious option. And The Phoenix from RockN-Fire proves it’s possible to make one that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Basil pesto, tangy olive tapenade, and balsamic glaze give this burger a unique Mediterranean flare. Tender baby spinach, tomatoes, and fresh red onions top off the Mediterranean masterpiece that’s sandwiched between a whole wheat bun (to really amp up the goodness).

You’ll die happy after indulging in the Death Sentence at That Dam Place. Not one but two grilled, six-ounce patties are topped with mayo,

lettuce, tomato, bacon, fried onion rings, and cheese sauce on brioche; in other words, all of life’s greatest food pleasures in one big, happy bite. It’s massive, it’s mouthwatering, and it’s not fat-free, so come hungry and leave your guilt (and tight jeans) at the door.

PRO TIP: There’s no such thing as too much pesto, so get double the fill with their

addictingly delicious, garlicy, and oh-so-good pesto fries.

PRO TIP: It’s hard to find a lobstah roll ‘round these parts—especially one made right. Luckily, That Dam Place’s “The Last Meal” fits the bill—with big chunks of Maine lobster, lemon, tarragon, and creamy mayo on a split-top bun.

Filet mignon is arguably the most tender of beef, and Angus chuck the juiciest; blend them together, along with short rib for a hearty beef flavor, and you have the recipe for serious burger success. Find this succulent patty on the Wise Villa Burger at Wise Villa Winery. Sticking to the notion that simplicity shines, they keep their garnishes simple—gooey white cheddar, crisp romaine, garden-fresh tomatoes, and sliced onions. The herby green goddess aioli that adorns the toasted bun seals the deal. PRO TIP: Pair this simple stunner with one of Wise Villa’s world-class wines—the Petite Sirah is recommended.

4200 Wise Road, Lincoln, 916-543-0323, wisevillawinery.com

If you’re craving a simple, classic cheeseburger, head to Bennett’s Kitchen Bar Market for their Bennett’s Cheeseburger. This burger starts with an all-natural 100% chuck patty (the classic choice for hamburgers because of its higher fat ratio), ensuring lots of juicy goodness. Hand-torn iceberg brings the crunch and double Tillamook cheddar brings the sharpness this burger asks for. Fresh tomato and onion top things off, but we couldn’t forget about the Acme Bakery bun spread with house-made Thousand Island. PRO TIP: Vegetarians can swap the beef patty

for a Beyond Meat patty.

If you haven’t yet tried the novel burgers at

almost a rite of passage in our neck of the woods. Touted as one of the best burgers in America by Guy Fieri, the Squeeze Burger is dressed to impress, with its cheese “skirt” and sesame seed-jeweled bun. Throw in some fresh tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo, and mustard, and you’ve got the ultimate burger experience. Caution: These burgers are not for the faint-hearted and may warrant an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill but are totally worth it!

We love sliders—their smaller size makes them perfect for sharing and easier to eat. What do the numbers stand for in 50/1/50 Sliders? We’re glad you asked! Sienna blends 50% Kobe-style beef, 1% habanero pepper, and 50% bacon to create their distinctive patty. Melted habanero jack adds just the right amount of kick, crispy onion strings give a satisfying crunch, and house-made Thousand Island dressing brings the zest. Garnished with lettuce, tomato, and pickles, you’ll be ready to slide into a food coma after devouring these delicacies.

PRO TIP: They also have “no skirt” or “mini skirt”

PRO TIP: Wait for your sliders to arrive with a

Squeeze Burger—what are you waiting for? It’s

options (cheese—not clothing!) if you’re all cheese-d out.

106 North Sunrise Avenue, Suite C1, Roseville, 916783-2874, squeezeburgerroseville.com

Old Town Grill charbroils their free-range, grass-fed patties and accompanies them with vine-ripened tomatoes, dill pickles, red onions, and delectable Old Town spread. You must try their succulent Stuffed Burger that’s packed with whole-roasted garlic cloves (vampires begone!), mushroom, and feta. One bite and you won’t know what hit you! Strong flavors and ultimate satisfaction are guaranteed here. PRO TIP: Instead of fries, ask for their “side of the

moment” that include grilled veggies or fresh fruit, to balance out all that meat. 444 Main Street, Placerville, 530-622-2631, otgplacerville.com

A beefless burger doesn’t have to be boring, as

Relish Burger Bar proves. Their Moroccan

Vegan Veggie Burger is far from bland, spicing up an already delicious five-ounce veggie patty with exotic Moroccan spices. Zucchini, roasted red peppers, and crunchy lettuce top off this veggie delight. It’s hard to say what the best part is, but it might just be the vegan pretzel bun— dense enough to keep your burger from falling apart but still soft as a cloud. PRO TIP: If you’re trying to cut back calories, order your burger “naked”—served over greens instead of in a bun.

Best Burgers! Granted, Land Ocean is known for their more upscale fare like filet mignon and beef Wellington, but they make a pretty (and pretty to look at) polished burger. Something as simple sounding as the BBQ Burger can bring the oomph, with a large Kobe beef patty, crispy onion strings, bacon, sharp cheddar, and BBQ sauce. Don’t be fooled by the list of limited toppings either. LO dishes out a generous helping, so you best bring your appetite. PRO TIP: If you’re looking for a burger bite during happy hour, try their prime beef slider that offers the same quality and great taste.

DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT? If you agree that every day should be “fry” day, then check out this list of our favorite fries found ‘round town. Samuel Horne’s Tavern is a Sutter

Street staple—and their Shoestring Fries and old-school Tater Tots are always the talk of every table. Freshly fried, crispy, and salty, enjoy them as-is or topped with fun fixings like chili cheese or pork chili verde. 719 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-2938207, samhornes.com

One bite of the lightly spiced, piping hot Sweet Potato Fries at

The Purple Place Bar & Grill and you won’t

be able to stop! Served with creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing, they’re sweet, salty, and seriously delicious. 363 Green Valley Road, El

Dorado Hills, 916-933-2313, thepurp.com

The Garlic Fries at Danette’s Brick Oven Pub—homemade, hand-cut tots tossed with a hefty helping of fresh garlic, olive oil, parsley, and asiago cheese—are potato perfection. Just make sure to pack a breath mint; these famous fries pack a pungent punch! 2875 Ray Lawyer Drive, Placerville, 530-622-7420, danettesbrickovenpub.com

The Chef’s Table serves up Pesto

Fries—beer-battered tots topped with house-made pesto and shredded Swiss— that rise above the rest. Trust us when we say the reviews don’t lie. They really are “out of this world!” and the “best fries ever.”

Forget frozen fries! The Handcut Fries at Solid Ground Brewing are as fresh as they come. After being cut, they’re blanched till soft and nearly cooked through, then chilled, and finally dunked in the deep fryer—ensuring an extra crispy crunch. Sprinkled with just the right amount of sea salt, they’re the perfect pairing alongside a pint. Just don’t forget to ask for a side of the chef’s house-made ranch. 552 Pleasant Valley Road, Diamond Springs, 530-344-7442, solidgroundbrewing.com

Krush Burger brings double the delight with the

option to pick two mini burgers of your choice. They promise never-frozen Angus beef that’s cooked to order and freshly baked brioche buns that are handtoasted. If left to us, we’d pick the Cowbell Burger for its bacon, crispy onions, gouda cheese, and BBQ sauce; and the Buffalo Chicken Burger for its crispy chicken, country slaw, buffalo sauce, and buffalo blue cheese sauce. Throw in their sweet potato tots with ancho honey dipping sauce and you’re golden.

PRO TIP: Ask for extra servings of sauce; they’re made in-house and add a ton of flavor.

6815 Lonetree Boulevard, Suite 101, Rocklin, 916-9135692; 1151 Galleria Boulevard, Roseville, 855-5787403, krushburger.com

PRO TIP: Make it a true happy meal by ordering one of their 30-plus craft beers; from

sours and stouts, to IPAs, ambers, and ales, there’s something to satisfy everyone. 1805 Cirby Way, Suite 12, Roseville, 916-771-4165, nixta.co

Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes has some of

the best buns—let alone burgers—in town, and if you’re a bun connoisseur, we suggest you try their artisan potato or multigrain options. Aside from their popular cheeseburgers, they also cater to the vegan, paleo, keto, and calorie-conscious among us with their “lifestyle burgers.” We’ve tried a few, and the Vegan Burger (black bean patty, avocado, sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and BBQ sauce on a potato bun) is one of the good ones. Although, with so many options, it’s hard to go wrong here. PRO TIP: De-veganize

your meal with their green chile queso (extra charge). Whether slathered on your burger or fries, it’s truly addictive. 5194 Commons Drive, Suite 110, Rocklin, 916-660-9591, mooyah.com

The Bruiser from Buck & Sadie’s won’t hurt you,

but it does pack a punch of flavor. Their patty, made of 100% Angus beef, sizzles on a flattop, creating a decadent crust reminiscent of an old-fashioned burger. Their choice of cheese is anything but oldfashioned though; they add the sharp, piquant flavor of blue cheese to spice up traditional fixings (fresh lettuce, sliced onions, and ripe tomatoes). Closed up in the buttery goodness of a brioche bun smeared with their house Shanty sauce, this burger comes to your table skewered with a gherkin.

PRO TIP: Looking to go bun-less? Choose a lettuce

wrap instead.

2030 Douglas Boulevard, Suite 28, Roseville, 916749-3394, buckandsadies.com

Bones Roadhouse in Placerville has relaxed,

unassuming bar vibes and their service and food are as warm and welcoming as it gets. Try their muchloved Cheeseburger that comes with a special Bones sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and raw or grilled onions (get the grilled onions to level-up the flavor profile). Another must-have at this joint is a cold beer (no tepid suds here!) so don’t skip it. PRO TIP: Sub your fries for any of these fried

foods: onion rings (they’ve really perfected these), “hotzarella” sticks, deep fried mushrooms, pickle spears, and more. 4430 Pleasant Valley Road, Placerville, 530-6444301, facebook.com/bonesroadhousebarandgrub

Moo-ve over, burgers! Sliders are here to stay! One bite of the King’s Meats Dry Aged Sliders at Heyday Café, and you’ll immediately ask yourself why you didn’t try them sooner. Two, three-ounce patties (freshly ground at King’s Meats in Diamond Springs) are topped with triple cream brie, sautéed mushrooms, cherry tomato mustarda (essentially fancier, tastier ketchup), and micro greens. Sandwiched into pillowy brioche, these bite-sized beauties pack a seriously delicious punch. PRO TIP: Save room for one of Heyday’s decadent house-made desserts. We hear the Ghirardelli chocolate brownie with vanilla gelato makes a perfect post-slider pairing.

You wouldn’t expect big, bold burgers to come out of a Mexican restaurant’s kitchen, but Nixtaco isn’t your ordinary eatery.

The high-quality ingredients and attention to cooking detail make it just one more reason to celebrate the weekend’s arrival.

aring for patients for over 25 years as a family practice physician has been very rewarding to me. Augmenting my traditional medicine practice with functional and regenerative medicine has inspired me to find the root cause of patients’ illnesses while also bringing them to their optimal health from the inside out. Feeling well is the primary goal. I have incorporated many modalities to keep patients living lives to their fullest. Growing up in Hawaii, I enjoyed being in a naturally healthy environment and I found myself wanting to promote health in others. Becoming a physician, and traveling a path ranging from serving as President of my medical school class to serving as a Chief Resident of the U.C. Davis Department of Family and Community Medicine, allowed me to develop a solid foundation for having an active presence in the lives of my patients and finding deep satisfaction in seeing them thrive. In my practice, I promote attainment of key health objectives by encouraging, among other things, lifestyle changes, supplementation, energy medicine, low intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy, platelet rich plasma, myofascial release therapy, PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy), and ION Cleanse to benefit and enrich my patients’ lives. Most recently, I have begun utilizing the OPUS microfractional plasma system to rejuvenate facial skin, bringing my patients even closer to optimal health, so that they can not only feel their best, but also look their best.

My journey into the childcare field began in 1999 when I was left disappointed in my search for ”the right” childcare for my son. After going through many programs and with my daughter on the way (now attending Chico State), I began to reflect upon my family’s needs. It was then that I changed my career focus and ventured into childcare. My mission is to provide a nurturing, loving, safe and educational environment for every child. On June 10, 2000, I opened my home to three newborns, two 2-year-olds and a 3-year-old. I immediately knew that this was

my calling. Everything felt so natural. I went back to school full time for early childhood education and started my own preschool program that incorporated home-cooked meals, planned outings, and practiced an advanced curriculum with structured activities that fostered learning.

In 2007 I opened a small pre-school with 60 families while continuing my in-home daycare. In 2010 I expanded again, bringing my preschool and in home-daycare under one roof - The Gift of Kids Daycare and Preschool. It has been a dream to serve so many children and give families the satisfaction I never felt when my son was in daycare. I pride myself on offering a safe place for families to bring their children. The Gift of Kids currently has 32 wonderful, loving, professional teachers and over 200 children. We provide care for infants, preschoolers and private kindergarten. Although the size seems large, the classrooms have a homey feel where the teachers truly care about each child’s development. We work together on communicating with parents and developing each child’s individual needs. It delights me that so many children have the opportunity to experience our program. Even now during this challenging time we have served our community with cautiion and all safety measures in place. MAY 2021 |

The staff at LFU has been carefully chosen and come from many walks of life. Some are on the road to become psychologists, public school teachers and nurses. Bonnie believes having a place that accepts varying personalities with countless strengths enables them to empower one another and continuously grow. Yearly work retreats focus on team building combining research, fun, and even the occasional unknown to create an environment where they are constantly growing, improving, becoming the best version of themselves.

Everyday Adventures

Go Global…But Stay Local

BY SUZIE DUNDAS

Anyone with the travel bug has likely been feeling a bit antsy since the start of COVID-19, but international explorers are probably missing one aspect of travel in particular: global cultures.

One of the most significant parts of any new culture is the food: trying new dishes, learning about local spices, and determining which exotic foods you can recreate at home and which are a bit too outside of your comfort zone (spicy Oaxacan grasshoppers, anyone?) And there’s nothing like walking down the street in a foreign country and observing the language, art, and customs of the city’s locals.

Fortunately, area residents are lucky: There's no shortage of international influence at our doorstep. Check out the restaurants, cultural centers, and businesses below if a year of staying at home has you aching for an affogato or bonsai fix.

ITALY Italian cuisine is some of the most accessible in the U.S., but authentic Italian, well, that can be harder to find. Chefs at restaurants

/stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags

in Italy know that some noodles pair better with certain sauces and that they should pick herbs just a few minutes before use. And the art is just as inspiring as the food—after all, who hasn’t felt a sense of awe when standing in front of Michelangelo's David or gazing at a Roman floor-to-ceiling tile mural? • Vaiano Trattoria specializes in Tuscan cuisine: simple, flavorful dishes with healthy doses of tasty olive oils, including zuppa di fagioli (a rustic white bean soup)

MEXICO Mexico is a broad category—after all, it's a sprawling country—but unfortunately, Mexican cuisine in the U.S. all too often gets reduced to Tex-Mex and prepackaged margarita mix. Fortunately, California has some of the country's best authentic Mexican food, along with some of the best places to brush up on your Spanish skills. Plus, more than a quarter of Californians speak Spanish at home or work, so it’s quite

a useful language to learn. • If you love all things mole, head to Mezcalito Oaxacan Cuisine. Their menu focuses almost exclusively on Oaxaca's cuisine, with different mole blends, dozens of spicy peppers and sauces, and ceviche guests rave about. 5065 Pacific Street, Rocklin, 916-701-4772, mezcalitocuisine.com • Made from scratch and representing various Mexican states, La Rosa Blanca is highly rated for its dishes like chile colorado, asada de puerco, and tacos de papa. Just remember to save room for their refried beans with plenty of melted queso and authentic Spanish rice. 402 Natoma Street, Folsom, 916-673-9085, larosablanca-folsom.com • Would you really be embracing the full Mexico experience without sipping on margs from sunup to sundown? Luckily, the offerings at Mexquite are the real deal.

Pho Mimi BY LORN RANDALL // PHOTOS BY DANTE FONTANA

| MAY 2021 |

n one of our area's late winter, faux-spring days, I felt the need for a soul-warming bowl of chicken noodle soup—Vietnamese style. You know the one: pho (pronounced fuh), Vietnam’s national dish whose beef-based versions boast a bone broth cooked for hours with star anise, ginger, fish sauce, and a few other conspirators, alongside rice noodles, herbs, and meat. When combined, the resulting bowl of pure umami is incomparable to other noodle soups. I was prepared to eat to-go in my car, or perhaps in a park somewhere, but as luck would have it, Pho Mimi was allowing indoor dining. I decided to sample several items, beginning with their fish sauce-glazed chicken wings. To my surprise (and a little concern), the wings came out in minutes and were quite good: lightly coated with just the right amount of salty/sweet sauce and crispiness to make me ponder how they were cooked so quickly.

I wanted to try one of my other Vietnamese favorites, bún thit nuáng (rice vermicelli with grilled meat) or #33 at Pho Mimi. I ordered the pork, and it was fantastic.

Bagel & Bean // Another brave pair of entrepreneurs have decided to say “Now’s the time!” and open their business, despite the crazy COVID-19 climate we’ve endured the past year. And judging by the response, Bagel & Bean owners Cory and Heather Smart’s gamble has been a success. Their morning rush consists of lines out the door, and lunchtime is only slightly less busy. The reason for all of their sudden popularity is two-fold: quality bagels and Heather’s knowledge of the restaurant industry, which has helped guide them through an uncertain path of shutdowns and mandates. Cory didn’t just jump into the bagel business and start selling someone else’s product; being a trained chef made the transition to baker easier, although not without research and some trial and error. Seriously, these are the best bagels I’ve ever had, bar none. Couple a fantastic bagel with the “bagel-wich” (bagel sandwich) concept they loved from a spot in Humbolt County, throw in some cheffy touches, and you’ve got a success story unfolding in our neighborhood. I sampled a few sandwiches from their “Local Favorites” selection and wish I could’ve tried more: Veg Out (fresh-baked bagel topped with avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, carrots, and sprouts, topped with toasted everything bagel seasoning; Pepperoni Pizza (marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni on the bagel of your choice), and Thai (peanut butter, cucumbers, carrots, jalapeño jelly, and green onions with your choice of bagel). All were delicious and huge. B&B also sells their house-made cream cheeses to go. Check their online menu for bagel selections (in addition to the classics, there’s often Tell us about funky flavors, too, like Fruity Pebbles, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and French Toast Crunch) and your experience daily specials.

TASTING NOTES: The West Coast version of Red Bus' famous Jetronic



Haze IPA, this beloved beer is loaded with Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops, giving it notes of grapefruit and pineapple with a moderate hop finish.

GearTooth’s flagship West Coast double IPA fills the glass with a crisp golden hue and is as balanced as a pale ale. Generously dry-hopped with Mosaic, Citra, and Centennial, the hops erupt into a medley of citrus and stone fruit flavors that give way to notes of resinous pine from Magnum and Columbus in the boil. *Tasting room and restaurant is scheduled to open this summer.

BREWED BY: Crooked Lane Brewing Company, 536 Grass Valley Highway, Auburn, 530-878-5232, crookedlanebrewing.com, @crookedlanebrewing TASTING NOTES: A fan favorite since day one, SR16—a double IPA that drinks like a single—features Citra and Amarillo hops complemented by a touch of malt complexity with a crisp, dry finish. The bitterness balances out the sweetness from its high ABV, resulting in one of the most drinkable double IPAs around.

Where We Live

BIKE SAFETY TIPS CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT • The seat should be adjusted to the proper height and locked in place. • Make sure all parts are secure and working correctly. • Check that the tires are inflated properly. • Make sure the bike is equipped with reflectors on the rear, front, pedals, and spokes. • A horn or bell, rear-view mirror, and bright headlight also are recommended. PLAN TO BE SEEN • Wear neon, fluorescent, or other bright clothing. • Whenever possible, ride during the day.

Shawn Remy of Bob's Cycle Center riding the trails of Granite Bay.

• If you must ride at night, wear reflective clothing and use flashing lights. • Wear a helmet (on every bike ride, regardless of length, and make sure it’s certified by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and fits correctly). GET ACQUAINTED WITH TRAFFIC LAWS • Ride single-file in the direction of traffic. • Remain alert, keep your head up and look around; watch for opening car doors and other hazards. • Use hand signals when turning and extra care at intersections. • Never hitch onto cars. • Before entering traffic, stop and look left, right, left again and over your shoulder. SOURCE: National Safety Council

“I love riding in this area, because in 30 minutes or less you can access all sorts of terrain, year-round. You can ride steep downhills, technical cross-country routes, or hop on the road and explore the rolling foothills.”
