Cockroaches and rodent droppings were found at this Land Park seafood restaurant

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to an Arden Arcade Mexican restaurant after finding 175 “fresh” rodent droppings. Additionally, 15 eateries were cited for health food violations ranging from dented cans, slime buildup inside an ice machine and black residue accumulation in the ice cream cooler. 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, Oct. 22, through Wednesday, Oct. 28. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com . How to report a business to the health

California’s November Hike Of The Month Is A Scenic Trail Worth Exploring Before Winter Arrives

A wooden ladder bolted into a fern-filled canyon is the most famous feature of this hike. Beat poets Gary Snyder and Jack Kerouac reportedly climbed down an earlier version of it in the 1950s. The ladder sits beside a creek that tumbles through redwoods on its way to the Pacific.

Dine with the dearly departed at these Sacramento Día de los Muertos dinners

The first two days of November mark Día de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday of remembrance of friends, family and pets who have died. Rather than being somber, festivities can be joyous, even funny, as people recount stories of their loved ones. A few Sacramento-area restaurants are welcoming celebrants with special meals and events for the occasion. Cuvée Club, the pop-up bar concept within the Granite Bay location of Mimosa House at 6861 Douglas Blvd., is hosting A Night to Remember on November 1 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. For $75, you’ll get three cocktails or spiked aguas frescas plus unlimited plain aguas frescas and 13 passed bites. Under-21 guests get in for $20 and receive the same refreshments, minus the alcohol. Cocktails include the eponymous Mimosa de los Muertos, sparkling wine with mango, salty-sweet Chamoy on the inside of the glass and a Tajin rim, and La Catrina, a smoky concoction of mezcal with orange, lime and agave syrup, served with a chile-salt rim. Horchata and cucumber-lime aguas frescas, served in plastic bags in the street cart style, can be spiked with tequila. Guests will be greeted with tostilocos, another street food delicacy, Tostitos with jicama, cucumber, peanuts, sweet

How Deep Are Northern California Lakes? Here’s a Depth Guide to Shasta, Tahoe, Oroville and 8 More NorCal Lakes.

Most people floating on a Northern California lake never think about what sits beneath the inner tube, which is probably for the best, because at Lake Tahoe the answer is 1,645 feet, making it the second-deepest lake in the country and deep enough to swallow the Empire State Building, antenna and all.

Hollywood icon and Oakland native Zendaya was spotted at Folsom High School on Friday night, where she went to watch her nephew, E.J. Coleman, play on Senior Night. The 30-year-old got quite the show from the Bulldogs, too, as the perennial Northern California powerhouse had a back-and-forth, down-to-the-wire battle with local rival Del Oro and escaped with a 42-41 win.

Vic's Ice Cream whitewashes mural, causing online backlash in Sacramento neighborhood

Maren Conrad said it was unfortunate a mural she’d painted outside Vic’s Ice Cream in 2021 was painted over Tuesday morning, leaving a blank white wall. But her biggest gripe was a claim that Vic’s made on Instagram that it had attempted to contact her. “I don’t have a single missed phone call, missed voicemail, missed text message, missed email,” Conrad said in a phone interview Wednesday morning. “I mean, I’m not a hard person to get a hold of.” The landmark Land Park ice cream shop – which reopened in January following a change in ownership after the death of longtime owner Craig Rutledge – painted over Conrad’s mural that adorned the outer wall of Brew Bird, a cafe that shares a building with Vic’s. Jason Williams, a hairstylist working across the street Tuesday evening said that the whitewashing happened around 10 a.m. Work that Conrad created across the street as part of the same project appears to have been untouched. But even just the destruction of one mural was enough to cause a stir online. “It took months of planning and thousands of dollars to bring this incredible mural to (Land Park),” wrote Jennifer Madriago-Benton, owner of Artisan

Metalcore takes over Roseville’s All Hollow’s Eve costume party

The Sacramento music scene has many characteristics that delineate it from the attitudes of the coast. Rather than the NorCal scene looking like Los Angeles, where artists-turned-products aggressively salivate to be the next breakout stars, Sacramento embraces music devoid of egotistical endeavors. On most evenings at some venues, audiences will encounter musicians in different stages of their careers playing for enjoyment, instead of playing with the hope of captivating an A&R representative.

The best pork on Sacramento's plates comes from this regenerative ranch in Ione

Currently, Magpie Cafe is offering a dish of pork belly with pears, frisee, pickled onions and a sweet-spicy glaze. The fat on the pork belly is rich and unctuous; the meat is tender with a nutty flavor. Not all pork is created equal. How and where the hogs are raised, and what they eat, informs the final food product. This particular hog was raised at PT Ranch in Ione, about an hour southeast of Sacramento in Amador County. Run by Emily and Ned Taylor, PT Ranch is a regenerative ranch that raises pork, lamb, turkey and chicken. “PT Ranch started when my dad bought it when he was in college. That was in the mid ‘50s, and he had all these aspirations of raising bulls. About 15 years ago, we took over the management of PT Ranch, and really wanted to change practices, and that’s when we decided to get into the pastured meat business and follow a regenerative-style farming as best as we could,” Emily Taylor said Regenerative ranching is a land stewardship practice that strives for sustainability through soil restoration, water conservation and biodiversity. The practice relies on five main principles: no soil tilling, no spraying, rotational grazing,
