German cockroaches and rodent droppings at East Sacramento brunch spot. What else

Sacramento County Health Inspectors found German cockroaches and rodent droppings at one East Sacramento brunch facility. Additionally, nine eateries were cited including a country club after health inspectors found uncovered ice cream in the freezer. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Nov. 5, through Wednesday, Nov. 11. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com .

It's soup season. Here are the Sacramento spots for slurping to your heart's content

It’s chilly. It’s rainy. That means one thing: soup. Whether it’s clear and brothy or thick and creamy, nothing warms and nourishes like a hot, satisfying bowl. There’s no shortage of spots in the greater Sacramento area where you can score a steaming bowl of fragrant pho, hearty ramen or spicy sundubu jiggae all year round, but a handful of restaurants are digging deep and celebrating soup season their own way. c Mexican restaurant Algo Bueno has reprised its Instagram-famous soup flights . Chef and co-owner Zenaida Rodriguez cooks up cauldrons of her homey, comforting soups, and this year she’s expanding the selection, ramping up to 15 soups to choose from. c Rather than investing in a single big bowl, the soup flights allow diners to select three, 10-ounce samples, presented much in the way craft beer flights are served. The selections are a sort of greatest hits of Mexican soups, including red and green pozole, menudo any day of the week, beef albondigas and a less-traditional birria ramen. c New this year are shrimp albondigas, caldo de habas, made with broad beans, and fideo, with thin spaghetti-like noodles. Flights cost $21. You can make your way through the entire

Food production has always depended on farmers, soil, water, and weather. But as the world faces challenges such as climate change, limited resources, and the need to feed a growing population, researchers are looking at a different question: how can food be grown more efficiently in the future? In California, a new research center is doing this through the combination of agriculture, artificial intelligence, robots, and the science of sustainability.

Republican Hoover concedes Sacramento-area Assembly seat to Democratic challenger

Assemblymember Josh Hoover, R-Folsom, on Tuesday conceded to his Democratic challenger Amy Slavensky in the race for a Sacramento County statehouse seat. Hoover had declined to concede Friday after Slavensky declared victory for the 7th Assembly District. His concession came after Sacramento County released its latest vote totals. Slavensky had 53.2% of the vote as of Tuesday afternoon. “I just called my opponent to congratulate her on her victory,” Hoover said on X. “While there are still many ballots left to count, our team no longer sees a viable path to closing the gap like we did when we flipped this seat in 2022.” Hoover said it has been the “honor of a lifetime” to serve the area in district — which includes Folsom, Fair Oaks and Rancho Cordova — in the Assembly. The seat was one Democrats were eager to wrestle back. Slavensky will be part of what is expected to be a widening Democratic supermajority in the Legislature. She has worked 40 years in California public schools as a teacher, principal and superintendent, according to her campaign website. She said her campaign knocked on over 16,700 doors, engaged 400 volunteers and sent 150,000 texts. “I thank the hundreds

Sac City Unified rejects all of state's budget review candidates, asks for more names

The Sacramento City Unified School District board Thursday rejected all nine candidates on the state’s list for a Budget Review Committee and asked the state superintendent for more names, saying they didn’t believe the candidates could provide the independent review they sought. The unanimous vote came days after the district’s fiscal overseer, the Sacramento County Office of Education, rejected its revised budget , sending SCUSD into a state review process. “Given that the county, in concert with FCMAT, has not been supportive of the budget, we want an independent set of eyes to look at it and offer recommendations that we’d be willing to look at as well,” Taylor Kayatta, a board member of the district, said. “In that vein, the committee unfortunately believes that all nine names on the list aren’t able to provide us with that independent view.” The district officials are grappling with a fiscal crisis marked by a $222 million structural deficit while clashing with the county education office and the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team, the state-funded financial group that provides fiscal oversight to school districts and evaluates their financial health. The state-provided list included six candidates with ties to FCMAT — current chief

Upscale Mexican eatery is coming to Elk Grove's historic Railroad Street

A popular, upscale Mexican restaurant known for its live music is replacing a barbecue spot in Elk Grove. Rosa Madera is launching its second location in the Sacramento area at 9700 Railroad St. in Old Town Elk Grove. The site is taking over Horn Barbecue, which closed in February after nine months in business. Rosa Madera is originally from Orange County, with its flagship location in Santa Ana. The franchise came to Sacramento’s Valley Hi / North Laguna neighborhood at 7521 W. Stockton Blvd. in 2024. The restaurant’s most popular dishes include its enchiladas, carne asada street tacos, and its Los Favoritios plate, which is filled with birria chimichangas, al pastor nachos, and flautas de tinga, deep-fried corn tortillas with Mexican meat in a tomato-chipotle sauce. Its cocktail menu has just as much kick and flavor as its dishes, serving beverages like a sweet Mangoñeada, coconut margarita and spicy tamarindo. The restaurant has live entertainment, with a mariachi band performing on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, as well as a live DJ, according to the restaurant’s social media. Rosa Madera did not respond to an interview request from The Sacramento Bee. An exact opening date has not been announced. The location
