As Californians Face Rising Grocery Bills, This Neighborhood Market Makes Fresh Produce Easier On The Wallet

About three-quarters of this grocery store’s floor is fruits and vegetables. Not chips. Not frozen pizza. Produce, stacked high in a space of roughly 7,500 square feet. The buyers work directly with small and regional growers. That means heirloom fruits, unusual greens, and a mushroom lineup that could make a forager jealous.

California Dining: New Eateries in LA, SD and SF

* The Aries Rooftop Restaurant and Lounge will open Nov. 11 on the top floor of the 11-story Hotel La Jolla on San Diego’s north side. The project is spearheaded by veteran restaurateur Alessandro Minutella and co-managing partner Giancarlo Guttilla, who together also run Zama and AKA in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. Aries’ interiors were designed by Cassandra Builer of Huntress Decor and draw inspiration from the glamour of European seaside destinations such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes, project backers said in a news release. The space has operated under several names over hotel’s 50-plus year history; it was most recently Sea & Sky, a seafood restaurant that opened in 2024. The hotel is a member of Hilton’s Curio Collection.

10 Outback Steakhouse restaurants close in 4 states as franchisee files Chapter 11

Out West Restaurant Group closed 10 Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Nevada before filing for Chapter 11. Few moments unsettle a regular diner faster than pulling into a familiar parking lot and finding the windows dark and the doors locked. Casual chain restaurants hold a particular place in American routines. Families book them for birthdays, teams pile in after weekend games, and tired couples treat them as dependable fallbacks when nobody wants to cook. A shuttered location erases one of those habits without warning. The loss leaves nearby guests wondering whether their own favorite spot will go next. Workers lose the shifts they counted on. Each closing ripples past the people who used to order dinner there.

There are places in California that everyone knows about, and then there are places that the people who know about them would prefer to keep to themselves. Wool Growers Restaurant in Los Banos falls into the second category, except that the food is so good that keeping it secret starts to feel genuinely selfish.

11 California Bakeries Making Fresh Sourdough Bread For The Thanksgiving Table

One San Francisco bakery has been making sourdough since 1849. That means its bread was rising before California even became a state. I still can’t get over that. Sourdough is old-school baking at its best. It doesn’t use packaged yeast. Bakers rely on a living starter made of flour and water, and it gives the bread that famous tang.
