We Ranked California’s Best Thai Restaurants And These 12 Are The Ones That Made The List

One spot on this list serves its spicy curries on disposable plates, and that’s part of the charm. Another built its whole reputation around roasted duck and jade noodles. Then there’s a vegetarian kitchen in a polished, modern room making crunchy sides meant to mimic duck skin. I have to give that one credit for pure creativity.

These Northern CA farmers markets are considered best in the state. How they ranked

Number of rabid animals in California skyrockets to the most cases in nearly 30 years

Your browser does not support the video tag. California has seen the number of rabid animals skyrocket, with the most cases in nearly 30 years, according to state officials. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday. Most of the rabid animals were bats or skunks from Southern California, according to the veterinary association. San Diego County health officials sounded the alarm in July after a rabid bat landed on the table where a family was eating lunch at the rustic Yellow Deli chain in Vista. Another diner quickly grabbed the bat with a towel and brought it to the Humane Society in Oceanside. Last month, local health officials reported the first two raccoons to test positive for rabies in Los Angeles County in more than 50 years.

13 Changes In-N-Out Burger Needs To Make

I have a few beefs with In-N-Out Burger (bun intended), but I, like so many with ties to California, grew up eating here. Founded in Baldwin Park in 1948, the fast-food chain feels like it's woven into the fingerprint of the Golden State at this point. And with generations of my mom's side born and raised in Southern California, it should be no surprise that it was a family tradition to eat at In-N-Out when we were visiting our loved ones. With these meals marking our gatherings, reunions, and Disneyland trips with everybody, In-N-Out Burger has never just felt like some random fast-food joint to me. It feels personal.

'Everyday Courage' event promotes California arts, humanities

A big event Wednesday night in Los Angeles will lift up arts and culture, history and the humanities. The theme is “ Everyday Courage .” The nonprofit California Humanities will present its Spirit of the Humanities Awards. Ann Burroughs, president and CEO of the Japanese American National Museum, will receive the award for Courageous Leadership. She said California's postwar mistreatment of Japanese Americans remains highly relevant today. "It's critically important that we not only know the history but we understand history, because if we don't know what the lessons of history are, then they can so easily be repeated," Burroughs explained. The evening’s featured speaker will be playwright and filmmaker Luis Valdez, founder of El Teatro Campesino, which helped spread the word about strikes and marches by Chicano farmworkers in the 1960s. PBS currently features a documentary on the subject, called "American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez." Sen. Ben Allen, D-El Segundo, will be honored as the legislative champion for his support of the film industry and arts education. "They've been an incredibly important part of what makes California special," Allen emphasized. "So much of our global leadership has to do with our cultural leadership, the fact that we're

Fukumi Restaurant Group combined its two popular eateries, Fukumi Chaya x Momo Katsu, and Pier 50 Sushi, in one building in Davis. The combo offers, as the owners said, “the best of both worlds.” “From fresh sushi to comforting ramen, your new favorite spot is nearly here,” read the announcement on social media.

Rodent enters Sacramento restaurant during health inspection. What else was found?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a soul food restaurant after finding about rodent droppings throughout the facility in addition to the live rodent. 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. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 4. 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 department For readers who would like to report a local restaurant, food truck or café for health violations, you can file

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.
