Sacramento rats, food recalls and a new Roseville restaurant. Here's what to know

Sacramento-area residents have a mix of news to track this Thursday, from pest problems to pantry safety to a new dining option. Here’s a quick look at three stories making headlines. Sacramento ranked No. 20 on Orkin’s 2026 list of the 50 worst U.S. cities for rodent infestations, and a Terminix home inspector told The Bee that rats and mice seek warmth and shelter indoors during colder months , squeezing through holes as small as a dime to nest in walls. October brought a wave of food recalls affecting California shoppers , including WinCo salsa bean dip trays tied to peperoncini from a company linked to a dead mouse video, a frozen lemon alfredo fettuccine sold at Walmart for possible listeria, more than 122,000 cases of Gatorade with undeclared yellow dyes and Once Upon a Farm toddler snack bars pulled over a choking hazard. Bohl, the Elk Grove salad and rice bowl spot owned by former Dutch Bros franchisees Hailey and Kyle Garret, is opening a second location at 10357 Fairway Drive in Roseville in 2027 , serving signature bowls like the “lettuce enter the dragon” and “steak me outside” alongside build-your-own options. This report was produced with the assistance

Paradise Fire Anniversary: Quilting for Renewal

When the sky rained sparks over Paradise on November 8, 2018, igniting the Camp Fire, California’s deadliest wildfire to date, few could have guessed it would also reignite a creative flame in artist and retired nurse Gail DeMartis. Her encounter with Paradise began after the fire killed 85 people and incinerated 95 percent of the town’s buildings, when the need for support remained high. Already experienced as a Red Cross volunteer in the blood services sector, DeMartis leaped at the chance to join the Red Cross Disaster Response team for two weeks.

'Amazing' tacos come to Redding market. Pasta Pronto reboot | The Buzz

Daniel Monaghan is one half of DJ’s Smash Burger in the Redding Public Market. Now the chef is getting ready to unveil his latest concept, which will also be in the public market. Cenote, a Mexican restaurant, is scheduled to open Nov. 18 in the former Bantam Kitchen space. Bantam closed in June after just seven months. Monaghan is partnering with Raj Kandhola to open Cenote. Kandhola has a hospitality background and with his family owns the Gaia Hotel in Anderson. Cenote will serve lunch and dinner. Its recipes will be inspired by the Yucatan region of Mexico, “a lot of bitter orange or Achiote (bright red paste made from ground annatto seeds),” Monaghan said. “They are using like banana leaf and they’re cooking their meats longer.” Monaghan and Kandhola have been friends for some time and they wanted a concept that would elevate the market. Kandhola admires Monaghan’s skills as a chef. “We felt that tacos would be an amazing addition, but tacos that Daniel creates is even somehow and even more an amazing addition,” Kandhola said. “You’ll see how after you try his food; you’ll be amazed. We’re not just opening up a taco shop; we’re trying to

In 1938, an 18-year-old started selling burgers beside a hiring hall where workers gathered for jobs building Shasta Dam.

Redding Costco center adding steakhouse. 2nd El Pollo Loco? | The Buzz

Arguably the busiest shopping center in Redding, River Crossing Marketplace, home to Costco, is going to be getting a lot busier. Texas Roadhouse, a steakhouse with locations across California, is coming to the shopping center. Ken Miller, of Northstate Commercial Partners, said the company has signed a ground lease for the vacant lot between Chick-fil-A and the Costco gas station on the east side of the shopping center. “The tenant is going to build it (the restaurant),” Miller said. He did not have a construction timeline or the expected opening date. Miller said the Texas Roadhouse in Redding will be about 8,000 square feet and it will be a sit-down restaurant. Texas Roadhouse only serves dinner on weekdays and is open for lunch on weekends, according to its website. Each restaurant has a butcher and baker. “The butchers, or Meat Cutters, hand-cut each and every steak we serve. Our Meat Cutters work in 34-degree coolers and cut an average of $1 million of meat a year per store,” Texas Roadhouse’s media fact sheet says . The baker makes the restaurant’s yeast rolls from scratch every day. The rolls are served with cinnamon butter. The publicly traded company (TXRH) was established

Mount Shasta’s “Top Hat” Cloud Makes the 2026 Weather Photographer of the Year Shortlist

Anyone who has spent time in the shadow of Mount Shasta knows the mountain likes to put on a hat now and then, and this fall one of those hats is getting worldwide attention. “Mount Shasta Top Hat at Sunset,” a photo by Lisa K. Kuhn, made the shortlist for the 2026 Weather Photographer of the Year competition, an annual contest run by the Royal Meteorological Society that drew more than 5,500 entries this year. The image shows a smooth, stacked lenticular cloud glowing in the evening light above the 14,000-foot volcano, the saucer and pancake-stack shapes behind plenty of UFO talk over the years.
