Best of the City 2026: Best Pickle Pivot

You’ve heard of Dutch crunch bread. But The Sandwich Spot in east Elk Grove has a way crisper lunch crunch that we love to munch. You won’t find it printed on their menu, but ask for any of their offerings as a Pickle Sandwich, and they’ll happily swap out the bread for a quartet of halved jumbo dill pickles. While a New York deli may have gone TikTok viral for their own pickle sandwich in 2024, Tupou Veimau—who until his passing in 2021, co-owned the Elk Grove Boulevard franchise of the locally based sandwich chain with his now sole-proprietor wife, Christine—began serving his unorthodox creation five long years before then. Pro tip: Go for the pickle-wrapped version of The River Cats (hot turkey, bacon, cheddar and avocado), where each bright bite of the pickle “bread” pairs perfectly with the smoky bacon and buttery richness of the avocado. It’s the best tasting sandwich we’ve ever heard. thesandwichspotelkgroveeast.com.

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 .

A popular, upscale Mexican restaurant known for its live music is replacing a barbecue spot in 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 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.
