Style Magazine - February 2023
In any romantic relationship, the first “I love you” is always a momentous milestone. When my now-husband first professed those three words, we were listening to sappy songs while watching the sunset and enjoying vanilla cones from the Golden Arches. Of course, I echoed his sentiments, and the rest is history. I’ll forever associate Mickey D’s soft serve with our love story’s butterfly-filled beginnings. But just as our partnership has evolved over the years, so have our palates, particularly when it comes to cones. Speaking of the V-shaped vessels, you won’t want to miss contributor Caitlin McCulloch’s piece in The Hot List (page 88), highlighting six undeniably cool cones, including a hand-held, house-made waffle cone filled with candied brown sugar bacon, fried chicken tenders, avocado, lettuce, and cool ranch from Cluck N Cone; and an activated charcoal Oreo cookie cone swirled with black sesame and Hokkaido milk ice cream from Tokyo Cream. Though I’ll never say no to a classic cake cone with machine-made froyo, the more upscale offerings featured here are undoubtedly a yes. Invite your nearest and dearest and go on a “cone crawl” to try them all! In Get to Know, “Two’s Company,” Nelly Kislyanka interviews three local couples whose journeys to the altar prove that real romance can happen at any age and at any time. Read each duo’s sweet stories and secrets to success (“communicate about everything, even the difficult and sensitive topics”; “work as a team and put pride away”) starting on page 20. Another (not-so) secret to relationship success? Going on date nights, especially those that involve red meat and red wine. Wondering where to go? In our feature, “Sizzling Steaks” (page 72), Sharon Penny writes about 13 restaurants that take the art of steak (and all the requisite sides) seriously. From tenderloins and tomahawks, to old-school steakhouses experimenting with new-school preparations, there’s something for almost everyone (apologies in advance, vegans!). On the “rare” (pun intended) occasion that my husband and I make it out, without our tots in tow, I’m adding all the spots, and steaks, to our list. Enjoy the issue! Here’s wishing you a month full of love—and maybe (if you’re lucky!) a filet mignon. Cheers!

What’s your<br />
love<br />
language?<br />
“Though my husband and I practice all the<br />
love languages, we’re always making each<br />
other feel special with kisses, kindness,<br />
compliments, and holding hands, so I’d<br />
have to say physical touch and words<br />
of affirmation top the list!”<br />
—Debbie Juhos<br />
“Quality time. In a world filled with<br />
distractions, having someone’s<br />
undivided, dedicated attention feels<br />
precious and meaningful.”<br />
—Melissa Strand<br />
“Acts of service, or when my interests<br />
are being thought of—like someone<br />
picking up a book I’ve recommended to<br />
them.”—Bella Nolen<br />
“Quality time—100%! Few things make<br />
me happier than spending all day with<br />
the person I love, even if we’re just<br />
lounging on the couch binging our<br />
favorite show.”—Ray Burgess<br />
“Hands down (pun intended), it's physical<br />
touch! The energy felt through holding<br />
hands, a giant bear hug, or a kiss is<br />
emotionally powerful and fills up my<br />
heart each and every time.”<br />
—Gary Zsigo<br />
“As the saying goes, ‘actions speak<br />
louder than words,’ so my love language<br />
is definitely acts of service.”<br />
—Nelly Kislyanka<br />

&<br />
Orange House<br />
Wood Studio<br />
Asha Urban Baths (ashaurbanbaths.com)—a communal<br />
gathering place to restore well-being through heat and<br />
water (pool, sauna, steam room, salt lounge, massage,<br />
and more)—is expanding to Folsom. The 6,389-squarefoot<br />
space at 9611 Greenback Lane is expected to open<br />
at the end of the year and have a similar setup as their<br />
Sacramento location along the Broadway corridor.<br />
Folsom has a new interactive, all-youcan-eat<br />
restaurant at 510 Natoma Station<br />
Drive, Suites 100 and 200. Tao’s Hotpot<br />
& Shabu serves “hotpot”—where diners<br />
add their choice of thinly sliced meats<br />
and vegetables into a tabletop pot of<br />
simmering soup stock (pick from broths<br />
like tonkotsu, spicy beef, and miso).<br />
Historic Folsom has a handful of new<br />
businesses on the block! Vosswood<br />
Permanent Jewelry (vosswood.com),<br />
located at 815 Sutter Street, Suite A,<br />
features custom-made, durable bracelets<br />
and anklets (sterling silver, gold-filled,<br />
and 14k gold) that are welded closed after<br />
being designed and fitted; Orange House<br />
Wood Studio (orangehousewoodstudio.<br />
com)—a husband-and-wife team that<br />
handcrafts hardwood cutting boards, lasercut<br />
earrings, wine caddies, coasters, and<br />
more—opened at 815 Sutter Street, Suite<br />
B; and Little Society (shoplittlesociety.<br />
com), which sells soft, breathable kids’<br />
clothing, along with toys and accessories,<br />
is sited at 813 Sutter Street, Suite F.<br />
Premier beach and relaxation footwear retailer Flip Flop Shops (flipflopshops.com) opened<br />
a location at the Folsom Premium Outlets (13000 Folsom Boulevard, Suite 906). In addition<br />
to shoes from over 90 notable brands, the store also sells accessories and apparel.<br />

an exceptional and unique experience, is<br />
expanding to Roseville. The new location at<br />
240 Conference Center Drive, Suite 120,<br />
is expected to open early this summer.<br />
High-Hand Brewery, located on the premises of High-Hand Nursery & Café,<br />
is scheduled to open this month. In addition to 12 house-brewed craft beers<br />
in a variety of styles (including IPAs, a Smash Pale Ale, Prickly Pear Gose,<br />
and Tangerine Kolsch), the space will also feature spirits, wine, food, and live<br />
music. For opening updates, follow them on Instagram @highhandnursery.<br />

Beyond Wellness (livebeyondcbd.com), a<br />
women-owned business whose main goal<br />
is to bring the most-potent, solvent-free<br />
cannabidiol and full-spectrum products<br />
to the community (lotions, lip balms, bath<br />
bombs, tinctures, dog treats, and more) with<br />
a focus on sustainable business practices<br />
and accessible pricing, opened a storefront<br />
in the El Dorado Hills Town Center at 4420<br />
Town Center Boulevard, Suite 130.<br />
Tous les Jours (tljus.com), a global franchise<br />
featuring French- and Asian-inspired baked<br />
goods (including out-of-the-ordinary<br />
offerings like taro buttercream bread, cheesy<br />
garlic croissants, kimchi croquettes, and<br />
sweet potato mousse cakes), is coming to<br />
9400 Fairway Drive, Suite 120, in Roseville.<br />
One-on-One Fitness (folsomwellness.com),<br />
a boutique studio that specializes in senior<br />
fitness and post-rehabilitation programs,<br />
opened at 990 Riley Street in Folsom. Along<br />
with personal training and group exercise<br />
classes, the business also features nutrition<br />
counseling, massage therapy, and more.<br />
Expect appetizers, burgers, pasta,<br />
weekend brunch, over 25 different<br />
Moscow mules, and more at Folsom’s<br />
soon-to-open House of Mules Cocktails<br />
& Kitchen. The 3,444-square-foot space<br />
at 13385 Folsom Boulevard, Suite 900,<br />
will also have over 20 TVs, a spacious<br />
patio, and weekly events like karaoke and<br />
trivia nights. For opening updates, follow<br />

Hundreds of people gathered at Green<br />
Valley Community Church for the<br />
swearing in ceremony of El Dorado<br />
County’s new sheriff: Jeff Leikauf. A<br />
Cameron Park resident and 32-year<br />
veteran of the El Dorado County<br />
Sheriff ’s Office, Leikauf’s vision is “a<br />
modern approach to traditional law<br />
enforcement values; total enforcement<br />
on crime and criminals; total care<br />
for victims, witnesses, and the<br />
community; and total professionalism,<br />
through training and by example.”<br />
Beloved Folsom eatery Bacchus House Wine Bar & Bistro (bacchushousebistro.<br />
com) gifted over $79,000 to Shriners Hospitals for Children Northern California<br />
(shrinerschildrens.org). The money—which will provide a child with 7-10 days<br />
of critical care—was raised through the restaurant’s Hollywood-caliber tribute<br />
to The Wizard of Oz that included a series of special fundraising dinners.<br />
Congrats to the Folsom Lake College<br />
Women’s Soccer team for being ranked<br />

Local Love<br />
Stories<br />
by NELLY KISLYANKA<br />
'Tis the season for romance! We're ushering in<br />
Valentine's Day with three love stories that'll warm<br />
your heart despite the <strong>February</strong> chill.<br />
laughing, and having fun together. The<br />
evening ended with a first kiss under the<br />
stars. Rico asked Shannon to marry him<br />
in 2020, and they tied the knot in 2021.<br />
“Rodeo magic is a real thing!”<br />
Favorite date spot: Thursday is our<br />
weekly date night. We typically stay in<br />
Folsom and rotate between Land Ocean<br />
and Scott’s Seafood Roundhouse.<br />
Secrets to success: Since we both<br />
come from failed marriages, we<br />
feel strongly that it starts with good<br />
communication. In our relationship,<br />
we talk about everything—even when<br />
it’s a difficult or sensitive topic. During<br />
premarital counseling, our pastor<br />
recommended we hold business<br />
meetings to address business issues<br />
such as finances, parenting, and home<br />
responsibilities. This keeps the business<br />
side of us separate from our dating/<br />
fun side. We also love to travel and<br />
make quarterly trips a priority. We think<br />
it’s important to show our children that<br />
relationships take quality time, nurturing,<br />
Shannon Robb<br />
& Rico Bundalian<br />
Some love stories begin in the<br />
unlikeliest of places. In 2014, Shannon<br />
and Rico met at a divorce care group<br />
through Hills Church. Both were<br />
navigating their newly single lives and<br />
not considering a relationship. So, they<br />
became friends—working out and<br />
traveling together, running into each<br />
other at community events, and even<br />
playing on the same softball team. “Still,<br />
it never crossed either of our minds to<br />
date one another,” says Shannon. Until<br />
the 2019 Folsom Pro Rodeo, that is. After<br />
inviting Rico to help at the event, where<br />
Shannon was working, they spent a<br />
magical evening dancing in the saloon,<br />
and hard work.<br />
What's your favorite thing about your<br />
partner?<br />
Shannon: Rico is kind, thoughtful, loving,<br />
and an amazing listener. He’s always fun,<br />
and I still get butterflies when he walks<br />
into the room. He’s also an amazing<br />
stepdad to my three kids.<br />
Rico: Shannon is always positive and<br />
makes me smile. She’s beautiful inside<br />
and out.<br />

MaryLisa and<br />
Charley Cornell<br />
It may sound “cheesy,” but MaryLisa and<br />
Charley first connected because of their<br />
mutual passion for great cheese. In 2015,<br />
MaryLisa was content with a career she loved<br />
(looking after her herd of goats and owning<br />
Jollity Farm). “Life was good,” she says. But<br />
then it got better! While volunteering with<br />
the Gold Country Dairy Goat Association at a<br />
show, Charley—a fantastic cheesemaker—<br />
sent her a Facebook message. He wanted<br />
to donate cheese to the Jollity Farm raffle<br />
table. From there, they began chatting and<br />
spending time together. A year later, they<br />
got engaged while on a cheese trail journey<br />
along the coast and eventually married<br />
on MaryLisa’s farm surrounded by her<br />
beloved goats.<br />
Favorite date spot: Stumpy Meadows<br />
Reservoir or Marco’s Café for live music.<br />
Secrets to success: Some days you have to<br />
choose the relationship—do you want to be<br />
right, or do you want to be happy?<br />
What's your favorite thing about your<br />
partner? Sense of humor!<br />

Rose & Steven<br />
Gonzales<br />
Rose and Steven’s story is one<br />
of triumph. Despite the odds of<br />
young love (they met in eighth<br />
grade) and teen pregnancy, their<br />
relationship has stood the test<br />
of time. Nearly three decades<br />
later, they cherish the life<br />
they’ve built—with four children,<br />
a grandbaby, and a thriving<br />
business—more than anything.<br />
But getting here was no easy<br />
task. The loss, near-death<br />
experiences, and struggles that<br />
face a young family threatened<br />
to tear them apart. “We<br />
[eventually] realized how much<br />
our marriage meant and really<br />
worked together to be better as<br />
a team,” says Rose.<br />
Favorite date spot: Waking up<br />
early (before the kids), drinking<br />
coffee, and reading in the<br />
same room without talking is<br />
a special connection we have.<br />
Occasionally, we go on lunch<br />
dates to Flame & Fire while the<br />
kids are at school.<br />
Secrets to success: Work as a<br />
team and put pride away; learn<br />
to listen; keep the passion alive;<br />
and find things in common (ours<br />
include going to the gym and<br />
personal development).<br />
What's your favorite thing<br />
about your partner?<br />
Rose: Steven is my biggest<br />
supporter—always pushing<br />
me to be better, encouraging<br />
me, and reminding me of the<br />
possibilities I’m capable of—<br />
continues to “make moves” on<br />
me, and is a great dad!<br />
Steven: Rose always wants to<br />
help other people, strives to be<br />
the best person she can be, and<br />
lives every day trying to make<br />
the world a better place.<br />

Wonderful<br />
Watercolorists<br />
The vibrant yet translucent colors, the flow and<br />
movement, and the simplicity of materials—paper, paint,<br />
water, brush—are some of what makes watercolor both<br />
appealing and challenging. Called to the task, these<br />
masters of the medium are treading the depths of its<br />
range, creating colorful, captivating works.<br />
by HEATHER L. NELSON<br />
Anna Rolin<br />
saatchiart.com/artgoddessmama<br />
Judy Lew Loose<br />
lewloose.com<br />
O<br />
ften utilizing<br />
pointillism—a<br />
technique using tiny dots of<br />
color—Judy Lew Loose<br />
produces stunning pieces<br />
through the fluidity of<br />
watercolor. When asked<br />
how long a painting takes,<br />
Loose shares that she<br />
doesn’t think in terms of<br />
time. “Every dot paints a<br />
tear, and happy dots<br />
heal the soul,” she says.<br />
“There’s nothing like the<br />
flow of water; it’s almost<br />
life itself.”<br />
When were you first<br />
drawn to watercolor?<br />
I was five years old and<br />
in kindergarten when I<br />
accidentally discovered<br />
that yellow and red<br />
paint create orange. I ran<br />
home from school and<br />
told my parents I wanted<br />
to become an artist.<br />
The feeling of mixing<br />
those colors put me on<br />
the path of trusting my<br />
heart enough to endure<br />
rejection in life.<br />
Describe your<br />
artistic process.<br />
Passion and inspiration<br />
for the subject, which<br />
incubates inside my soul.<br />
After preparing a drawing,<br />
I’m ready to paint,<br />
usually upside down and<br />
sideways—developing<br />
intuition, stepping<br />
back, evaluating, and<br />
painting the journey. It’s<br />
challenging, because each<br />
painting is intuitive and<br />
there’s no road map to tell<br />
me where to go.<br />
What inspires you?<br />
I find inspiration with<br />
anything that heals<br />
one’s soul: nature, dogs,<br />
bikes, things that bloom,<br />
buildings, light, and<br />
shadow. When you open<br />
your heart to feelings<br />
and vision there’s a world<br />
of opportunity waiting<br />
for you.<br />
M<br />
oving to Roseville in 2000, Anna<br />
Rolin first studied watercolor<br />
under Pat Abraham, whom she<br />
attributes as one of her biggest<br />
influences. “Right now, I’m following my<br />
own curiosity; the more I paint, the<br />
more I learn,” she shares. “I try to start a<br />
painting before I finish one, so that [I]<br />
always [have something to] work on.”<br />
Why did you choose watercolor?<br />
I love the feeling of dipping my brush<br />
into a well of water and pigment and<br />
watching it spread across the paper<br />
as I paint. Watercolor flows and is<br />
transparent. It’s basically just water,<br />
paint, brushes, and paper—beautifully<br />
simple—but if you have to fix something,<br />
you can only do so much, or your<br />
painting could be ruined.<br />

What advice do you<br />
have for aspiring<br />
artists?<br />
Keep painting; take<br />
classes and see what<br />
other artists are doing;<br />
visit a gallery or<br />
museum; take photos or<br />
collect reference photos<br />
to have ideas for what<br />
to paint next; and buy the<br />
best materials you can afford,<br />
because it makes a difference.<br />
Jo Ella Allen<br />
joellawatercolors.com<br />
J<br />
o Ella Allen has taught<br />
over 100 beginning<br />
watercolorists to fall in love<br />
with the medium. “There’s<br />
a fear out there that<br />
watercoloring is too<br />
difficult—many [aspiring]<br />
artists don’t give it a try.”<br />
Ironically, it<br />
was the<br />
medium's<br />
difficulty<br />
that drew<br />
Allen in.<br />
How<br />
did you<br />
develop<br />
your<br />
skills?<br />
It all began<br />
when I<br />
took a<br />
class and<br />
became<br />
intrigued with the beauty<br />
watercolor can produce. I dedicated<br />
myself to learning the craft and<br />
took numerous classes. Lots of<br />
practice later, and I learned to<br />
master the water, control the<br />
mistakes, and produce works I feel<br />
good about.<br />
What are your favorite aspects<br />
of watercolor?<br />
The flow of the paint, which can<br />
create an ethereal feel; or being able<br />
to switch techniques and produce<br />
a painting of exacting details—the<br />
choice is yours.<br />
Nick Vogt<br />
nrvogtart.com<br />
R<br />
aised on a 240-acre<br />
cattle ranch in Rough<br />
and Ready, Nick Vogt—who’s<br />
been painting since he was<br />
nine years old—was a<br />
founding member of Nevada<br />
City’s Pioneer Arts in the ’60s.<br />
His passion for the region’s<br />
rich Gold Rush history is<br />
reflected in his bold works—<br />
preserving the excitement<br />
and nostalgia of the era.<br />
Describe your process.<br />
After a light sketch and<br />
beginning with the “wet on<br />
wet” approach, I often mix<br />
colors directly onto the<br />
paper. As the paper dries,<br />
I move from soft brush to<br />
dry brush and work from<br />
lighter to darker colors.<br />
Because my subject matter is<br />
representational of landmark<br />
buildings, historic scenes,<br />
or events, my paintings<br />
usually have more detail than<br />
traditional watercolors.<br />
How do you avoid artist's<br />
block?<br />
Everywhere I go, I’m looking<br />
for scenes and imagery for<br />
future paintings. While driving<br />
down the interstate this<br />
morning, I began painting in<br />
my head the beautiful cloud<br />
formation that came to view.<br />
Other times, I'll quickly sketch<br />
or snap photos of antique<br />
automobiles that I see.<br />

Relationship Rx<br />
9 Tune-Up Tools<br />
by MELISSA STRAND<br />
Have you had a relationship<br />
checkup lately? Just<br />
like a regular office visit<br />
with your primary care<br />
doctor, relationships need<br />
regular maintenance, too.<br />
We asked local experts<br />
to weigh in on their top<br />
tools for creating a healthy<br />
partnership with a steady<br />
pulse and robust heartbeat.<br />
TAKE YOUR RELATIONSHIP’S<br />
1 TEMPERATURE<br />
“Be intentional [by sitting down]<br />
to discuss areas that are working<br />
great and areas that need growth in<br />
your relationship. By creating this<br />
regular routine and choosing your<br />
words wisely, unmet needs can<br />
be tended to more frequently.”<br />
—Ashlee Janzen, MS, LMFT,<br />
ashleejanzenlmft.com<br />
2 GROW<br />
TOGETHER<br />
“Think of your<br />
relationship as a team,<br />
and work together to<br />
support each other<br />
and be there when<br />
your partner needs<br />
you the most. You<br />
may have to ask<br />
for that support<br />
and care, as you<br />
can't expect your<br />
partner to know what<br />
you need.” —Joan<br />

FOSTER THE COUPLE<br />
3 BUBBLE<br />
“In healthy, committed,<br />
romantic relationships, partners<br />
begin to develop safety and security<br />
with each other, and a ‘couple bubble’<br />
begins to form. The idea is that ‘I have<br />
your back and you have mine.’ It also<br />
includes having a shared vision of<br />
the future, navigating life’s challenges<br />
together instead of individually, and<br />
taking each other’s distress seriously.<br />
A good place to start when thinking of<br />
your couple bubble is by questioning<br />
how you show up for one another in<br />
private (and in public!) and getting<br />
curious if your actions or words<br />
are creating security or insecurity<br />
in your partner.” —Jennifer Moffat,<br />
AMFT, PACT Level 1 Couples Therapist,<br />
jennifermoffatmft.com<br />
YOU CAN’T FIX WHAT<br />
4 YOU DON’T<br />
UNDERSTAND<br />
“No one likes to be fixed, but we all<br />
desire to feel understood. Approach<br />
differences with genuine interest.<br />
Imagine what it's like to be your partner<br />
and ask questions to find out. Once you<br />
have a grasp of their perspective, reflect<br />
it back to them and ask if you're on the<br />
right track to understanding.” —Holly<br />
Spotts, PsyD, fullcupwellness.com<br />
COMMIT TO<br />
5 CONNECTION<br />
“Partners with busy schedules<br />
often become ships passing in the<br />
night. To maintain connection with<br />
each other, I teach my couples how<br />
to offer bids for connection, both<br />
verbal and nonverbal, from physical<br />
touch to asking for help on a project.<br />
Some ideas can be as small as a kiss<br />
or hug goodbye as you leave for the<br />
day, a thoughtful text that you’re<br />
thinking about them, or engaging in<br />
a lingering hug when you’re reunited<br />
after being apart. The idea is for these<br />
bids for connection to help us stay<br />
emotionally connected to each other<br />
despite the many different directions<br />
we can be pulled in.” —Jennifer Moffat,<br />

SAY WHAT YOU WANT<br />
“Don't say what you don't like or<br />
don't want, but rather say what<br />
you do want. For example, if you're feeling<br />
disconnected from your partner and<br />
want more of their time and attention,<br />
an example might be to ask for the<br />
following: ‘I'd like to spend some time,<br />
maybe 15-30 minutes each night, talking<br />
about our day together just the two of<br />
us.’” —Joan Druckman, PhD, Licensed<br />
Psychologist and Certified EFT Couples<br />
Therapist, drjoandruckman.com<br />
RESPOND WHEN CALM<br />
7<br />
“We all get triggered, especially<br />
by our partners. When this<br />
happens, press pause. Take a moment to<br />
ask yourself what emotion you're feeling<br />
and where it's coming from. Take some<br />
deep breaths until you're feeling calmer<br />
and then respond.” —Holly Spotts, PsyD,<br />
fullcupwellness.com<br />
FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION<br />
8<br />
“Notice where your<br />
relationship might need some<br />
additional focus and put some effort<br />
into growing that area. Most of us<br />
know about the value of date nights,<br />
but relationships also require daily<br />
attention, even if it’s just giving each<br />
other five minutes of undivided<br />
positive attention in the morning and/<br />
or at night, and when you reunite at<br />
the end of the day. Try not to make<br />
your relationship the last thing on<br />
your to-do list.” —Joan Druckman,<br />
PhD, Licensed Psychologist and<br />
Certified EFT Couples Therapist,<br />
drjoandruckman.com<br />
STOP ASSUMING<br />
9<br />
“We make so many<br />
assumptions about the<br />
relationship and the person we’re in it<br />
with; especially if we’ve been with our<br />
partner for a long time. Instead, we<br />
should approach our partners from<br />
a posture of wanting to understand<br />
them better. Life experiences change<br />
us. Assumptions can lead us down<br />
a very long and misunderstood<br />
path.” —Ashlee Janzen, MS, LMFT,<br />

Caples Lake to<br />
by RYAN MARTINEZ<br />
Emigrant Lake<br />
LOCATED IN:<br />
Kirkwood.<br />
DISTANCE:<br />
9.6 miles out-and-back.<br />
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:<br />
Moderate to hard.<br />
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:<br />
This is a snowshoe hike<br />
in wintertime, which<br />
adds to its difficulty;<br />
come prepared with<br />
snowshoes, gaiters, plenty<br />
of warm layers (including a<br />
windbreaker), sunglasses,<br />
and ample water. Don’t<br />
cross frozen lakes unless<br />
you’re familiar with how<br />
to protect yourself,<br />
and download the map<br />
beforehand, as service<br />
wanes. A permit is required<br />
from the Carson Pass<br />
Management Area. Finally,<br />
remember to Leave No<br />
Trace.<br />
FUEL UP:<br />
Enjoy no-frills American<br />
fare (burgers, sandwiches,<br />
chili cheese dogs, etc.) and<br />
$3 Modelo drafts in relaxed<br />
mountain environs at 7800<br />
Bar & Grill (kirkwood7800.<br />
com) sited at Kirkwood<br />
Mountain Resort.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT:<br />
A challenging snowshoe<br />
adventure in the<br />
mountains is always fun;<br />
and, when the snow melts,<br />
the area boasts some of<br />
the Sierra’s best wildflower<br />
blooms.<br />

How to<br />
Cross a<br />
Frozen<br />
Lake<br />
1<br />
Check with locals. Area<br />
authorities should be<br />
able to tell you current<br />
safety conditions.<br />
2<br />
Carry “ice claws” in an<br />
accessible pocket. These<br />
will help you pull yourself<br />
out from freezing water<br />
and onto the ice if you<br />
take an unexpected<br />
polar plunge.<br />
3<br />
Tread lightly and keep<br />
your distance. Wear<br />
skis or snowshoes and<br />
walk with at least 15-25<br />
meters between your<br />
partners so you don’t all<br />
fall in if the ice breaks.<br />
4<br />
Check ice thickness<br />
frequently. Every 150<br />
feet or so, use an ice<br />
axe to break through<br />
it and test thickness.<br />
If cracking occurs,<br />
return to shore. Blue<br />
ice is safest; white<br />
ice indicates melting<br />
and more dangerous<br />
conditions.<br />
If you fall in, stay<br />
calm, ditch the skis/<br />
snowshoes, swim to<br />
the edge, and use your<br />
ice claws to help you<br />
up while kicking hard.<br />
Once enough of you is<br />
on the ice, stay in a lying<br />
position and roll yourself<br />
away from the breakage.<br />
Seek dry clothes,<br />
shelter, and hot water<br />
immediately.<br />

nationwide, including 7 centers in and around<br />
Sacramento. So when you enroll your child in your<br />
local Mathnasium, you are part of a nationwide<br />
movement towards excellence in math for everyone!<br />
We teach basic math facts through first-year calculus<br />
in a friendly, fun environment where students<br />
earn prizes for working hard. An initial assessment<br />
determines exactly what a student knows about<br />
math and generates a detailed curriculum which<br />
can advance the student one grade level in just 10<br />
weeks, at less than $10 per hour. All the student<br />
needs to do is show up (that’s on you, parents!) and<br />
try. We take care of the rest.<br />
Students don’t really hate math; what they hate is<br />
feeling left behind. Enrollment in Mathnasium can<br />
change all that, because when students succeed<br />
in math, their confidence soars! Parents are<br />
always surprised when their students beg to go to<br />
Mathnasium because it’s “fun”! So give your child a<br />
chance and enroll today at the Mathnasium Center<br />
nearest you!<br />

COOL STUFF<br />
Listen to<br />
the Music<br />
Must-Have Headphones<br />
Under $500<br />
by TERRY CARROLL<br />
From wired to wireless, in-ear,<br />
over-ear, and more, there are so<br />
many choices when it comes to<br />
headphones. Here are three standouts<br />
at their respective price points…<br />
Grado SR60X<br />
The entry-level SR60X<br />
is, in my opinion, the<br />
single best value in stereo<br />
headphones. At $99,<br />
they’re almost magical<br />
in the sound they deliver.<br />
They're also handsome,<br />
with an open-air design that never feels fatiguing,<br />
and can connect with both your phone and home<br />
audio system. gradolabs.com<br />
TIGER'S EYE<br />
SKIN CARE<br />
You may be wondering why a Native American<br />
Clay Exfoliation from The Tiger’s Eye Skincare<br />
is different from a traditional facial? Clay<br />
is versatile. It can be used on almost<br />
all skin types. Some of the great<br />
minerals in clay include magnesium,<br />
calcium and iron, all of which help<br />
with the production of collagen in<br />
the skin. As skin is exfoliated with<br />
clay, impurities from the skin are<br />
surfaced; pores shrink and dead<br />
cells become finer. We offer<br />
a variety of traditional Native<br />
American skin care treatments for<br />
men, women and children.<br />

I was diagnosed with Anal Cancer and aggressive radiation.<br />
I tried everything to relieve, pain, burns, and blisters.<br />
After the first treatment immediately felt relief. My burns<br />
and blistering have completely healed. I would highly<br />
recommend anyone going through radiation look into this<br />
clay treatment from the first day you start.<br />

From the moment you<br />
open the package, you can<br />
see and feel what can only<br />
be described as “elegant.”<br />
And that description<br />
carries on in the sound<br />
they produce. These also<br />
hit way above their weight class, delivering crystalclear<br />
sound when listening to everything from Bach<br />
to Bad Bunny. The Px7 offers Bluetooth wireless<br />
connection, noise cancellation, a two-year warranty,<br />
and are available in a variety of colors; at $399, they<br />
hit all the right notes. bowerswilkins.com<br />
HIFIMAN Edition XS<br />
I was telling a friend that<br />
I wanted to buy a pair of<br />
headphones, something<br />
that would offer me<br />
an immersive sound<br />
experience when plugged<br />
into my audio system and<br />
an alternative to my floor<br />
standing speakers at 1 a.m. Without skipping a beat,<br />
he recommended the HIFIMAN Edition XS planar<br />
headphones. As I was listening to some of my favorite<br />
records, it felt like I was hearing them for the first<br />
time. For $499, they’re a tremendous value and are<br />
incredibly comfortable, even after hours of wear.<br />

WHAT MAKES<br />
A GREAT<br />
MATTRESS?<br />
Celebrating<br />
20 YEARS in<br />
Business!<br />

Q: What should I take into<br />
consideration when deciding to<br />
do pet hospice?<br />
A: When your pet is diagnosed with<br />
a terminal condition, it’s important<br />
to understand disease progression<br />
and ways to maintain their quality<br />
of life. A discussion with your<br />
veterinarian can help make sure<br />
your pet is kept comfortable with<br />
pain medication or adaptations at<br />
home. When pain can no longer<br />
be managed, your pet is immobile,<br />
they no longer enjoy their favorite<br />
activities, the bad days outnumber<br />
the good, or there is risk of<br />
traumatic death, then timing of<br />
euthanasia should be considered.<br />
Lastly, it’s important to prepare<br />
your family members, as not<br />
everyone may agree, due to beliefs<br />
surrounding euthanasia, guilt over<br />
primary caretaker responsibility,<br />
and inability or unwillingness to<br />
accept declining quality of life. In<br />
addition, children experience grief<br />
differently depending on age and<br />
sensitivity.<br />

Feels Like Home<br />
Wow-Worthy<br />
Before & After<br />
by KOURTNEY JASON<br />
Before<br />
El Dorado Hills resident Lisa P. has been<br />
renovating her home, room by room,<br />
for more than a decade—and she’s hired<br />
local Granite Bay firm Designs With You<br />
In Mind (designswithyouinmind.net) for<br />
each and every project.<br />
Before the refresh, her home<br />
featured traditional brown finishes<br />
and was starting to feel dated; not to<br />
mention, it was no longer functioning<br />
for her family’s daily routine. Cathy<br />
Tonks of Designs With You In<br />
Mind stepped in to complete the<br />
transformation, which resulted in a<br />
home that boasts a transitional style<br />
with a calming feel.<br />
“Our overarching goal was to make<br />
sure everything we did flowed to allow<br />
our clients to entertain guests in luxury,”<br />
Tonks says. “Like all our projects, we<br />
also used the finest materials and top<br />
appliance brands.”<br />
Tonks’ design needed to improve the<br />
house’s overall function. Her solutions<br />
included turning the rarely-used<br />
formal dining room into an inspiring<br />
home office; taking a section of the<br />
downstairs area to create a “lady cave,”<br />
which provides an escape for Lisa to<br />
relax and unwind; installing new floors<br />
throughout the home; creating an openconcept<br />
layout to better connect the<br />
kitchen, dining room, and living room;<br />
and maximizing the available bright<br />
natural light whenever possible.<br />
For the kitchen renovation, Tonks<br />
says the cabinet layout was working<br />
well, and both the cabinets and<br />
hardware were in excellent condition,<br />
so they modified and painted the<br />

cabinets for a refresh. Additionally, they added soft-close<br />
hinges into the kitchen cabinets and drawers for an elevated<br />
feeling while also protecting the cabinet finishes. They also<br />
replaced the kitchen hood over the range—though when it<br />
was removed, the intake was offset, so they built a soffit and<br />
facade to make it work. Other kitchen upgrades included new<br />
tile, countertops, crown molding, and baseboards. The cool<br />
color palette added to it was then continued into the adjacent<br />
living room, where the design team added new window<br />
coverings, furnishings, artwork, and plants to create a cozy<br />
and comfortable gathering space.<br />
The home has bonus rooms downstairs, including a second<br />
family room that contained a kitchenette and a bed. Lisa’s son<br />
was staying in this room, which was inconvenient when the<br />
family had guests over. “Her son needed his own space, so we<br />
moved a major wall out, giving the homeowners’ better access<br />
to the kitchenette and a space for their son with a full ensuite<br />
SAVE-THE-DATE<br />

bathroom, plus Lisa’s ‘lady cave,’ and a powder room,” Tonks<br />
says. “We infused some of the client’s personality into the<br />
powder bath through custom wallpaper and photos of her two<br />
adorable pups.”<br />
Moving outdoors, they created a space for Lisa to entertain<br />
off the pool. “We gave the family an upscale coastal-style<br />
kitchen, [and in the] back patio area off the pool, installed<br />
herringbone porcelain tile with texture to prevent slipping,<br />
painted existing railing, added new furniture, and painted the<br />
home’s exterior.”<br />
One of the more recent projects was the upstairs renovation,<br />
which had a four-to-five-month timeline. “We redid both<br />
daughters’ bedrooms and updated the jack-n-jill bathroom,”<br />
Tonks says. “Specifically, we removed the bathtub and replaced<br />
it with a tiled shower, painted the cabinets, and updated the<br />
hardware with soft-close hinges.”<br />
Lisa’s home is now a calming oasis perfect for entertaining<br />
her friends and family. “I highly recommend working<br />
with Designs With You In Mind!” Lisa says. “I have worked<br />
with Cathy for over 10 years to slowly transform my entire<br />
house into my dream space. She has an amazing gift of<br />
understanding people’s personal styles but also stretching it<br />
beyond anything you could ever imagine!”<br />

An Evening of Insight (EOI) is not just about raising money, it’s about raising<br />
awareness. EOI is a unique event that brings people together to not only learn more<br />
about A Touch of Understanding and the impact we make on children’s lives every<br />
day, but to also experience, albeit briefly, what it would be like to live with a disability.<br />
We take our guests on a journey through an evening meal with friends as we explore<br />
what it might be like to eat without sight.<br />
Darlene O’Brien, inspirational speaker and long-time ATOU Board member,<br />
successfully guides our guests through a meal under blindfold. Darlene brings over<br />
twenty years of experience in joyfully navigating her own life’s journey with blindness.<br />
For over 26 years, ATOU has been helping children understand, appreciate and<br />
respect one another, despite differences. Our workshops help schoolchildren accept<br />
and include their peers with disabilities and those who seem different for any reason.<br />
These workshops improve the way students relate to themselves and others. One<br />
student said it best, “I get it now! I can be a buddy, not a bully!”<br />
An Evening of Insight is just that…an evening full of insight where our guests get to<br />
shortly experience the life of someone else and realize ATOU’s mission of spreading<br />
the message of kindness, understanding and respect amongst our children and<br />
communities with our award-winning workshops.<br />

What’s your love language? Physical touch or words<br />
of affirmation? For me, it’s steak. As a discerning<br />
and diehard steak lover, you have a trusted source,<br />
and the feeling is that straying into the unknown<br />
is risky. What if you go somewhere new and they give<br />
you a well-done steak? (Perish the thought!) Worse: what<br />
if it’s (dun dun dunn) tenderized? (Muffled screaming.) Fear not,<br />
steak lovers, I’m here to help. Let me guide you through the “high<br />
steaks” world of restaurants and point you to the classiest regional<br />
establishments that take the art of steak seriously: I’m talking low<br />
risk, high reward. Sharpen your steak knives…feasting awaits!<br />
“You’ll look sweet upon the<br />
seat of my Tomahawk<br />
Chop for Two.” That’s<br />
how the classic song goes,<br />
right? High Steaks<br />
Steakhouse at Thunder<br />
Valley Casino wants you<br />
to cozy up with your<br />
dining partner for this<br />
deeply carnivorous meal<br />
of delicious, ribeye steak<br />
on the bone. Weighing in<br />
at a whopping 48 ounces, it<br />
comes with complimentary<br />
sauce options like au<br />
poivre (peppercorn) or<br />
beurre blanc (if you’re<br />
feeling especially saucy);<br />
you can also go wild with<br />
amazing add-ons, like Point<br />
Reyes blue cheese crust or<br />
shaved seasonal truffles.<br />
Just make sure you order<br />
some sides to share, like<br />
the au gratin potatoes or<br />
romesco brussels sprouts,<br />
and please peep the<br />
dessert menu if you’re into<br />
cheesecake. As George<br />

La Provence Restaurant & Terrace has been<br />
bringing the flavors of the French Mediterranean to<br />
the Sacramento region for 19 years, so they clearly<br />
know what they’re doing, when it comes to cuisine.<br />
French vacation on your wish list? Well, pack up<br />
your taste buds! You’ll be whisked away on a culinary<br />
odyssey with their Petit Chateau: a tender,<br />
succulent fire-grilled petite tenderloin enveloped<br />
in a red wine demi-glace that comes with roasted<br />
garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a<br />
Provençal tomato. Appetizer-wise, be like Captain Kirk<br />
on vacation and “boldly go”: try the escargot, sautéed<br />
in a Provençal herb compound butter with toasted<br />
brioche, or say bonsoir to frog legs, marinated in<br />
basil with a crispy panko crust, Aleppo pepper beurre<br />
blanc, Meyer lemon beurre blanc, and a petite salad of<br />
arugula with pickled onions. Bon appetit!<br />

C. Knight’s Steakhouse<br />
harkens back to an era of dark<br />
wood interiors, suits, and the<br />
Glenn Miller Orchestra, when<br />
steakhouses were the height of<br />
fine dining and not the haven<br />
of denim and crayons that they<br />
are today. Ensconce yourself<br />
in a cozy booth, hit up your<br />
bartender for an Old Fashioned,<br />
and try Chuck’s Prime<br />
Porterhouse: 24 ounces of<br />
grain-fed Angus beef that’s dryaged<br />
and served on a buttery,<br />
500-degree plate, this steak<br />
will haunt your dreams in the<br />
best possible way for years to<br />
come. Feel free to gild the lily<br />
with some add-ons, like a fried<br />
egg or creamy horseradish;<br />
and be sure to indulge in<br />
some decadent sides, like their<br />
legendary “Green Phunque,”<br />
aka, the tastiest cream of<br />
spinach you’ve ever had,<br />
featuring smoky bacon and<br />
three types of mushrooms,<br />
topped with aged cheddar,<br />
and broiled till bubbly. I know,<br />
right? Oh, and don’t sleep on<br />
the bacon brussels sprouts<br />
gratin appetizer either. We<br />
know you’ve got room—there’s<br />
always room.<br />

Land Ocean has a<br />

options, but there’s<br />
no shame in being<br />
normcore: You can<br />
never go wrong with<br />
their classic 14-ounce<br />
New York Strip<br />
(the equally flavorful,<br />
slightly healthier sibling<br />
of the ribeye). Cooked<br />
to perfection, it comes<br />
with mashed potatoes,<br />
grilled asparagus, garlic<br />
mushrooms, onion<br />
rings, and herb butter<br />
(honestly, what more<br />
could you want?). Allow<br />
me to back up for a<br />
moment, however; when<br />
it comes to appetizers,<br />
I’m all about the<br />
tenderloin wellingtons<br />
featuring delicious meat<br />

“Filet all day”—that’s what the shabby chic sign in my living room says.<br />
Folsom’s Sutter Street Steakhouse has you in good hands if<br />
you’re a filet fan (who isn’t?). Their certified Black Angus Filet (six or<br />
12-ounce) is specially prepared at temperatures more than 1,000 degrees,<br />
which means two things when it’s cooked medium rare: juicy and<br />
delicious. Your tender filet comes with garlic mashed potatoes and herb<br />
compound butter, and you could do worse than add some tasty cheddar<br />
potato cakes, sautéed spinach, or asparagus on the side. But let’s talk<br />
appetizers: I wholeheartedly recommend starting with the warm brie<br />
and bacon jam with arugula and grilled ciabatta. Oh mama. And maybe,<br />
just maybe, finishing things off with a vanilla bean crème brulée. I’m not<br />
going to tell you your life. You know in your heart it’s only right.<br />

Flame & Fire offers the ultimate steak<br />
experience, thanks to the Brazilian cuisine known<br />
as churrascaria, where cowboys or “gauchos” slowroast<br />
beef from their cattle herds over a flame pit<br />
or “churrasco” and carve it at the table to show<br />
their skill. At Flame & Fire, roving servers bring<br />
huge skewers of barbecued meats to the table and<br />
carve it directly onto your plate. And when I say<br />
skewers, what I really mean are swords. And I’m<br />
not just talking any old steak, either. I’m talking<br />
Tomahawk, Picanha (prime-cut sirloin), Bife<br />
de Alho (garlic steak), Maminha com Queijo<br />
(tri-tip with cheese), and Filet Mignon! Plus,<br />
you’ll gorge on a veritable feast of accompanying<br />
sides like seasonal cold salads, Brazilian specialties,<br />
charcuterie, and my favorite: pao de queijo (Brazilian<br />
cheese bread), aka, the definition of deliciousness.<br />
And this bountiful feast is best accompanied with<br />
Brazil’s national drink, the Caipirinha, a dangerously<br />
delicious signature cocktail made with cachaça,<br />
sugar, and lime. Que bonito!<br />

Q1227 is a relative newcomer to Roseville, but this chef-driven restaurant has been<br />
making big waves ever since opening four months into the pandemic. It says right<br />
there on the wall “food is our language of love”—folks, this is a restaurant that gets<br />
us. Elevated comfort food is what they’re about, and steak-wise, you’re in truly good<br />
hands: there’s excellent a la carte Angus beef, like the three-ounce Japanese wagyu,<br />
18-ounce cowboy ribeye, and 10-ounce filet tenderloin. But the secret steak star of<br />
the menu is the Ribeye Cap: all the flavor of a ribeye with the delicateness of a<br />
tenderloin, aka, the kind of steak your butcher keeps for themselves because it’s so<br />
good. Chef Q cooks it to juicy perfection and serves it atop a mouthwatering mix<br />
of fire-roasted tomatoes, garden fresh spinach, wild mushrooms, and Maldon Sea<br />
Salt. If you’re feeling fancy, you can add fresh-shaved Velarde truffles (when available).<br />
Speaking of appetizers, it’s my moral duty to inform you of the Q1227 Chicken Fried<br />
Lobster Bites, served with creole remoulade and Chef Q’s season all. Don’t cry when<br />
it’s over, smile because it happened. Or just order double.<br />

Good things come in small packages, like filet<br />
mignon from Henry’s Steakhouse at<br />
Red Hawk Casino. Try their hardwood grilled<br />
Filet Mignon Florentine: six ounces of<br />
pure perfection alongside mashed potatoes,<br />
spinach, beef reduction, and crispy onions.<br />
When it comes to sides, it’s hard to resist the<br />
siren song of their house macaroni and cheese<br />
(you’re only human!), but the Old Bay wedge<br />
fries are comfort food at its finest and should<br />
be mandatory—especially if you worship Old<br />
Bay Seasoning like I do. And when it comes<br />
to dessert names, let’s just say Henry’s has<br />
a flair for understatement. “Chocolate and<br />
Nuts”? I mean, I guess. Unless it’s house-made<br />
chocolate malt ice cream, crème anglaise,<br />
brownie, brown butter almond cake, candied<br />
nuts, and whipped cream. Well, why didn’t you<br />
say so? Sign me up!<br />

The downstairs converted-cellar restaurant<br />
at the Smith Flat House was once the<br />
opening to the Blue Lead Mine dating back<br />
to the 1800s. Fast forward to today, and the<br />
atmospheric setting is perfect for a coldweather<br />
meal, like the truly mouthwatering<br />
14-ounce Choice-Cut Ribeye with slowroasted<br />
marble potatoes, butter-fried French<br />
breakfast radish, and whipped garlic butter.<br />
And if we’re talking appetizers, you could do<br />
worse than start your meal in the lap of the<br />
gods with a baked camembert: puff pastrywrapped<br />
Marin French camembert with<br />
orange marmalade, honey lemon vinaigrette,<br />
arugula, candied ginger, and grilled housemade<br />
bread. The best part? You won’t have to<br />
work nearly as hard to strike it rich!<br />

What lesser-known<br />
cuts of beef do you<br />
recommend?<br />
Flat irons are incredibly<br />
underrated. They’re<br />
tender, flavorful, and<br />
cheaper than more<br />
common cuts (like<br />
ribeyes and New York)<br />
but can be cooked the<br />
same way.<br />
What cuts give people<br />
the most bang for their<br />
buck?<br />
The Boston butt, which<br />
is a pork shoulder; you<br />
can make it into pulled<br />
pork or pork steaks. For<br />
beef, cross-rib roasts,<br />
which can be barbecued<br />
and are incredibly<br />
tender if you buy prime.<br />
Chicken legs are also<br />
priced well and taste<br />
good!<br />
Top steak cooking tips?<br />
Don’t over-season it!<br />
Salt, pepper, and garlic<br />
should be enough to<br />
bring out the meat’s<br />
best flavor. Also, always<br />
use a thermometer to<br />
get your preferred steak<br />
doneness; even the best<br />
chefs use them.<br />

Springs, 530-497-5398, kingsmeats.net<br />
How long have you been a butcher?<br />
Almost 30 years.<br />
Top beef-buying tip?<br />
Ask your butcher! Most are knowledgeable and can assist with<br />
finding the perfect cut and offering cooking instructions. When<br />
selecting a steak, it’s about the marbling (the white specks that<br />
add all the flavor and juiciness) and if the “right” fats are left<br />
on the steak. When you cook your steak over high heat, those<br />
specks of fat leave pockets in the meat that aid in its tenderness.<br />
What lesser-known cuts of beef do you recommend?<br />
Bistro filets (aka teres major)—small steaks that come from<br />
the front shoulder clod; in my opinion, they’re one of the most<br />
versatile and tender cuts at a price that’s right. They’re lean and<br />
great grilled on the BBQ, sliced thin for stir fry, cut for stew meat,<br />
or added to chili, stroganoff, or fajitas.<br />
What cuts give people the most bang for their buck?<br />
Cross-rib roasts come from the front shoulder of a steer and are<br />
an under-utilized cut that’s surprisingly tender and incredibly<br />
flavorful.<br />
Top steak cooking tips?<br />
Keep it simple. Lightly rub extra virgin olive oil on the steak and<br />
season it with kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper.<br />
My favorite steak is a New York strip loin served at medium<br />
temperature with a hard sear on the outside; the flavor and<br />
tenderness are unmatched. The “chew” of the steak is also<br />
important; you want something that offers flavor and tenderness<br />
without feeling like you’re doing cardio! With that said, doneness<br />
of steaks is widely subjective and is not “one size fits all.”<br />

Fun fact: Cameron Park’s The Snooty Frog first opened in 1983. They took a break<br />
in the middle but managed to reopen in their original Burke Junction location in 2008<br />
and have been going strong ever since. With a menu comprised of only the freshest<br />
ingredients and quality cuts of meat, “The Frog” is still a local favorite. The hit menu<br />
item is their Sizzling Filet: tender prime-cut filet mignon with sautéed mushrooms<br />
and red mashed potatoes, served directly from the grill to the table on a piping hot<br />
sizzle platter. (It’s also the house specialty, and you can see why.) If you fancy walking on<br />
the decadent side for starters, then the baked brie with crostini is calling your name.<br />

Since 2011, Placerville’s The Independent Restaurant & Bar has been serving up<br />
high-quality cuisine and libations. A local favorite is the Niman Ranch Ribeye, 14<br />
ounces of hand-cut, marbled meat served with a demi-glace and flash-fried onion rings—a<br />
mouthwatering “big ole steak” cooked to perfection that cuts like butter. I’m also in love with<br />
the truffled mac and cheese, but don’t be fooled, their turnip fries are a head-turner (you<br />
read that right). If you favor a cocktail to accompany your classic ribeye, might I recommend<br />
kicking it old-school in a new-school way with the Smoked Molasses Old Fashioned: Four<br />
Roses Single Barrel Bourbon, Angostura bitters, hickory smoked molasses syrup, and a<br />
flamed orange peel. When it comes to dessert, I’m very much into the silky-smooth and<br />
dangerously decadent chocolate pot de crème with mocha whipped cream. Divine!<br />

El Dorado’s Poor Red's Bar-B-Q is<br />
another historic locale, and these folks<br />
serve up liquid gold in the form of their<br />
signature cocktail the Golden Cadillac,<br />
invented all the way back in 1952 when<br />
the bar was in its infancy. Decades<br />
later, they’re still pouring liquid gold<br />
for locals and serving up delicious,<br />
barbecued steak, chicken, and ribs (just<br />
like the original sign says), with a menu<br />
that favors locally sourced ingredients<br />
and quality meat. The true mark of a<br />
great barbecued steak is when it can<br />
make the humbler cuts of beef sing,<br />
and Poor Red’s Blackened Spiced<br />
Flank Steak can more than carry<br />
a tune. An eight-ounce flank steak<br />
topped with chili lime compound<br />
butter and cilantro, served with their<br />
house salad, a baked potato, and<br />
seasonal vegetables, your taste buds<br />
will be singing along with it! Make sure<br />
you order one (or more) of the Golden<br />
Cadillacs (a smooth, golden-colored<br />
blend of crème de cacao, Galliano, and<br />
half-and-half) to go with your flavorful<br />
steak. And don’t sleep on the housemade<br />
cinnamon rolls for dessert!<br />

Charred Whole Fish Divorciados<br />
The manifestations of our collective<br />
human culture are rarely as<br />
ubiquitously loved as food. The<br />
culinary arts tap into eons-old (and<br />
modern) traditions and deliver a primal<br />
gratification that simultaneously satisfy<br />
both the caveman and the aristocrat within us all.<br />
Some cuisines, however, infuse a rich<br />
history and cultural tradition into their flavors,<br />
transporting you to different times and places. Few<br />
cuisines do this more than Mexican.<br />
Newly opened La Popular is a collaboration between<br />
Grupo Carolo (one of Mexico City’s most recognized<br />
restauranteurs) and the local Eureka! Group. Led by<br />
Chef César de la Parra from Mexico City, the menu is an<br />
upscale take on Mexican classics that evoke the origins<br />
of the gastronomy as well as the country’s cultural<br />
nuances—inspiring us to share and forget our worries<br />
until mañana. Authentic staples are elevated by a chefdriven<br />
evolution and served in lively, lush environs<br />
82 stylemg.com | FEBRUARY <strong>2023</strong> | /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags
alongside warm, welcoming service.<br />
The drink menu is an impressive<br />
modern craft cocktail experience that<br />
brings the tastiest old-world spirits into<br />
the contemporary era using up-to-theminute<br />
bartending techniques—think<br />
smoke bubbles that pop with a whisp on<br />
lemongrass to infuse your Oaxacan rum,<br />
like in the showstopping Oaxacan Jellyfish,<br />
which also comes with pineapple, lime,<br />
blue lemongrass, and coconut cream. With<br />
over 80 labels of tequilas and mezcals, you<br />
can bet they know how to mix up a stellar<br />
margarita, too.<br />
Appetizers include an innovative take<br />
on familiar favorites, like chipotle bean<br />
dip, nachos with hand-cut tortilla chips,<br />
heirloom tomato & oyster mushroom<br />
ceviche, and queso fundido with chorizo<br />
alongside house-made tortillas.<br />
The street tacos are also a must-try. I<br />
was swayed from my normal go-to after<br />
reading the description of the ribeye<br />
offering: “ribeye and handmade corn<br />
tortillas…that’s it, trust us.” So, I took the<br />
Churros<br />
Queso Fundido con Chorizo<br />
Ribeye Fajitas<br />
Desert Rose<br />
leap of faith. The ribeye was delicious,<br />
though the tortilla seemed slightly too<br />
large for the dish. The house salsas were<br />
flavorful, too, and I loved that the simple<br />
tacos encouraged me to add the garnishes<br />
in a traditional Mexican street taco way. A<br />
huge thumbs-up for authenticity.<br />
I also tried the charred whole fish<br />
divorciados (the red adobo was much<br />
tastier than the green, in my opinion), the<br />
ribeye fajitas (a non-traditional staple—<br />
charred jalapeños and potatoes topped<br />
with melted manchego, bacon, guacamole,<br />
sour cream, and pico de gallo—with<br />
a most markedly upscale flavor), and<br />
the habanero BBQ ribs (another nottraditional<br />
take executed beautifully).<br />
While the menu was overall fantastic, I<br />
couldn’t do justice to the experience without<br />
elaborating on the drinks. The agave-inspired<br />
cocktails boast techniques I’ve only seen on<br />
the recent Netflix series Drink Masters—from<br />
“caviar” pearls to infused smoke bubbles.<br />
Each boozy beverage expounds on an agave<br />
spirit and adds a clever craft twist. Again, I was<br />
tempted with a minimal description of the<br />
Yucatán Toucan (“clarified mezcal punch…<br />
trust the jungle bird”) and immediately<br />
ordered one. It was amazing. I also tried the<br />
Desert Rose—a balanced cocktail full of<br />
warmth, freshness, tartness, and sweetness—<br />
that included cinnamon-infused Licor 43,<br />
hibiscus lime-infused tequila, mezcal, prickly<br />
pear, pomegranate, and lemon.<br />
For dessert, the tres leches cake and<br />
churros tied a pretty, Mexican bow on the<br />
entire experience. While they weren’t jawdropping,<br />
they were simple and sweet.<br />
Overall, La Popular surprised with<br />
their ability to make the old new and<br />
brought an experience worthy of any<br />
modern foodie’s praise.<br />
“<br />

Say “aloha” to your new favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot: Big Island Hawaiian<br />
BBQ, where everything is made to order using fresh ingredients. It’s like<br />
being in Hawaii...without having to pack, catch a flight, and shake sand<br />
out of your clothes. They offer so many different dishes, it’s hard to<br />
choose. Fortunately, their family meals feed four and come inclusive of rice,<br />
mac salad, shredded cabbage, and two proteins, like the popular kalua pork<br />
and chicken katsu (both great choices!). My personal pick? The Kalua Island<br />
Fries, because fries—especially with creamy sriracha mayo and a heaping<br />
helping of shredded, pull-apart pork—are always a good idea. For the main<br />
attraction, choose from katsu chicken curry, kalbi short ribs, spam & eggs, or<br />
loco moco, to name a few. I went with the Teriyaki Chicken Plate, and their<br />
sauce (all sauces are crafted in-house, btw!) was one of the best I’ve had.<br />
Portions are generous, so if you’re looking for something a little smaller, go<br />
for their “Make It Mini” plates; or, for littles, one of the kids’ meals. Oh, and<br />
don’t forget the appetizers! Because crispy shrimp, pan-fried potstickers, and<br />
lumpia are always a delicious idea.<br />

Blend Is In<br />
5 BEST BOTTLES by<br />
MEGAN WISKUS<br />
“Blends are a great way for winemakers to express their style,” says Philip Hughes,<br />
general manager at Sierra Vista Vineyards & Winery. “You can bring whatever grapes<br />
you want to the party to adjust dryness, acid, alcohol, tannin, body, fruitiness,<br />
and flavor.” Phil Maddux, owner/winemaker at Lone Buffalo Vineyards, agrees.<br />
“Europeans, who've been making wine for 2,000 years, know that blending<br />
generally results in a better and more consistent wine because it allows<br />
the winemaker to compensate for deficiencies in a vintage<br />
year or in a single varietal. In America, where we've only<br />
been making wine for 200 years, we’re just beginning to<br />
appreciate the advantages of blending.”<br />

Named for the vineyard’s<br />

This wine is an exquisite<br />
expression of Rhone<br />
varietals (grenache,<br />
syrah, mourvèdre, and<br />
petite sirah) blended<br />
to show respect for the<br />
tradition of the region,<br />
while maintaining a truly<br />
vivid expression of El<br />
Dorado terroir. “Clone”<br />
refers to the slight genetic<br />
variations of a single<br />
varietal, and the clones<br />
that Miraflores planted<br />
were chosen specifically<br />
for their ability to thrive in<br />
the area’s terroir. Elegant<br />
and sophisticated, each<br />
sip offers an impeccable<br />
balance of tannins,<br />
spiciness, fruit, and<br />
acidity.<br />

LIST<br />
THE<br />
CoOL<br />
CONEs<br />
by CAITLIN MCCULLOCH<br />
From kale and cupcakes to butter boards, there always<br />
seems to be a new food fad hitting our “feeds.” One of the<br />
latest cool kids on the block? Cones! Classically fabulous<br />
with a scoop of ice cream, there’s a whole new world of<br />
cone-shaped food offerings to explore. No matter what<br />
flavor profile you’re craving, here are six fantastic finds.<br />
Millionaire<br />
Cone<br />
Feel like a million<br />
bucks without having<br />
to spend it when<br />
you order this savory<br />
option from Cluck N<br />
Cone. A waffle cone<br />
(made from the familyowned<br />
establishment’s<br />
proprietary recipe)<br />
is filled with chicken<br />
tenders that have been<br />
braised for 16 hours—<br />
the perfect time to<br />
ensure the chicken is<br />
neither mushy nor dry,<br />
according to Cluck N<br />
Cone creator Laura<br />
Garcia. Next comes<br />
the millionaire (and<br />
mouthwatering!)<br />
bacon, which gets<br />
rubbed with spices<br />
and candied brown<br />
sugar, then triple<br />
smoked, and baked<br />
for 30 minutes.<br />
Creamy avocado,<br />
crisp lettuce, and cool<br />
ranch balance out the<br />
masterpiece.<br />

Charcuterie Cone<br />
Are you hosting a party, baby<br />
shower, or just want something<br />
fun for a girls’ night? Look no<br />
further than a charcuterie cone<br />
from The Dancer’s Pantry.<br />
No one will have to awkwardly<br />
gaze at the last bites on a<br />
communal table, as everyone<br />
gets plenty of their own portions.<br />
Nutty Professor<br />
At Historic Folsom’s Sweet Dozen Cones, you<br />
won’t find classic cake or waffle cones; Europeanstyle<br />
chimney cones reign supreme. A cross between<br />
a churro and a donut would make for a delectable<br />
treat on its own, but we recommend trying the Nutty<br />
Professor: a chimney cone filled with walnuts, peanut<br />
butter, and chocolate gelato, then topped with<br />
granola and Oreo crumbles. If all this isn't enough<br />
to satisfy your sweet tooth craving, the creation is<br />
finished off with a Nutter Butter cookie. It may be<br />
filling enough to share—but you likely won't want to!<br />
807 Sutter Street, Folsom, 916-358-9832, foodiecones.com<br />
There’s a little bit of everything—<br />
from brie and sharp cheddar,<br />
to manchego, salami, crackers,<br />
and in-season fruits and<br />
veggies—all tucked into an ecofriendly<br />
bamboo cone. If you<br />
need a non-dairy option, those<br />
are available, too.<br />

Chipotle Mayo Chicken<br />
Though this savory-meets-sweet option comes from a small food truck,<br />
Bubblecone, the flavors and portion sizes are big and bold. Your journey starts<br />
with a house-made egg puff waffle cone that’s subtly crisped on the edges but soft<br />
and chewy inside. It’s then filled with crispy yet tender chicken pieces and generously<br />
drizzled with chipotle mayo. The whole creation gets topped with crushed red pepper<br />
flakes and green onions for a slightly spicy finish. Find the truck every Sunday at the<br />
Folsom Premium Outlets or visit their website for upcoming events and locations.<br />

Hard Swerve<br />
Can’t decide between a boozy beverage or soft serve for dessert? For<br />
those 21 and over who would like a refreshing new way to experience hard<br />
kombucha, this one’s for you. At Shorebirds Brewing Co., a traditional<br />
cake cone meets a towering swirl of alcoholic soft serve that’s made using<br />
one of the brewery’s rotating hard kombucha flavors, like blackberry<br />
thyme or “apple of my chai.” The tasty treats range from having an ABV of<br />
4-8%, so be sure to inquire before deciding how many servings (or licks!)<br />
you’d like. What’s more, the soft serve itself is vegan and gluten-free.<br />
11327 Trade Center Drive, Suite 355, Rancho Cordova, 916-898-2419, drinkshorebirds.com.<br />
Black Sesame<br />
Swirl<br />
This ice cream cone<br />
from Tokyo Cream<br />
is anything but basic.<br />
The adventure starts<br />
with a house-made<br />
cookie cone that’s<br />
Oreo-based with<br />
some activated<br />
charcoal to give it<br />
a distinctive dark<br />
color (it’s said to<br />
contain some cool<br />
health properties,<br />
too, like helping<br />
with digestion).<br />
Black sesame ice<br />
cream—made from<br />
organic milk—is then<br />
swirled together with<br />
Hokkaido milk ice<br />
cream. The highquality<br />
Japanese<br />
milk has a nutty<br />
flavor with a light,<br />
creamy texture that<br />
isn’t quite as heavy as<br />
traditional American<br />
ice cream, making it<br />
the perfect pick-meup<br />
noon, or night!<br />
