Welcome to the 2025 EDITION

SACRAMENTO FAVORITES Now in its third year, Sacramento Favorites continues to celebrate the people, places, and businesses that make our region such an extraordinary place to live, work, and explore.

Sacramento, known for its vibrant neighborhoods, rich history, and proximity to both the mountains and the coast, offers a unique blend of small-town charm and urban sophistication. From its celebrated farm-to-fork dining scene and thriving arts community to its endless outdoor adventures and deep cultural roots, Sacramento shines as a city that beautifully balances tradition and innovation.

That’s why The Sacramento Bee created Sacramento Favorites — to honor the businesses and individuals that are the heart of our community. This program highlights local excellence and encourages residents to connect with and support the places that define Sacramento’s unique character.

This year, participation reached new heights. Over 4,700 businesses, organizations, and individuals competed for the top three spots across 282 categories, with the community casting more than 275,000 votes — a 117% increase year-over-year. The incredible response underscores the pride Sacramentans have in their local favorites and the strength of the region’s entrepreneurial spirit.

A contest of this scale takes teamwork — from our dedicated local staff and the commitment of participating businesses to the generous support of our advertisers. Together, they make this celebration possible.

We are proud to recognize and honor this year’s winners for their outstanding contributions to Sacramento’s success. Their dedication continues to fuel our region’s growth, preserve its heritage, and shape its future.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and share their love for our community. We invite you to explore SacramentoFavorites.com to discover and engage with this year’s winners.

Enjoy!

Turning Injury Into Justice Personal Injury Firm Puts Clients First Omega Law Group is a boutique personal injury firm serving clients across California and Texas. Over the years, the firm has secured some of the largest verdicts and settlements in both states, building a reputation for taking on difficult cases and pursuing them with persistence until the very end. What defines Omega, however, is not only the numbers or the headlines — it is the people the firm represents, the trust they place in its attorneys, and the relationships built during some of life’s hardest moments.

Personal injury law is never just about statutes, procedures, or courtrooms.

It is about people whose lives have been disrupted by an accident, injury, or loss. Omega Law Group keeps the human element at the center of every case. The firm maintains an open-door policy, welcoming clients to share their concerns, frustrations, and questions freely. Attorneys and staff take the time to listen, knowing that being heard is often the first step toward healing and recovery.

Compassion is viewed not as a courtesy but as a necessity. Clients often arrive in pain, overwhelmed by medical bills, or worried about lost income. In those moments, they need more than legal advice; they need an advocate who understands what they are going through. Omega’s attorneys aim to provide that level of care, combining empathy with a relentless commitment to justice.

THANK YOU SACRAMENTO FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

With a team of more than 25 attorneys, Omega brings the resources of a larger law firm while maintaining the personal approach of a boutique practice. This balance allows the firm to dedicate the time, attention, and strategy that complex cases demand without losing

the client-focused connection that defines its work.

Many of the firm’s cases are those other firms have turned away, often seen as too complex or too risky. Omega takes pride in looking deeper. In one recent case, a seriously injured client had already been rejected by multiple firms. When the matter reached Omega, the attorneys conducted a thorough review and uncovered crucial evidence that shifted the outcome entirely. What others dismissed as a dead end became, in Omega’s hands, a life-changing settlement. For the firm, these stories are not exceptions — they are the reason it exists.

Diversity, mentorship, and professional growth are woven into the culture at Omega Law Group. The firm embraces a broad range of perspectives and experiences, recognizing that the strongest teams are built when different voices and backgrounds come together. By fostering collaboration and prioritizing inclusion, Omega

SACRAMENTOFAVORITES.COM

helps shape future leaders who carry both the skill and the confidence to succeed in the courtroom and beyond.

Omega also actively invests in the future of the legal profession through initiatives such as the Omega Growth Scholarship, in-house training sessions, and structured mentorship programs.

These efforts provide guidance and opportunity for students and young professionals, preparing them with a strong ethical foundation and a clear vision for their careers.

Equally important is Omega’s connection to the community. The firm is engaged in outreach through educational workshops and longstanding partnerships with nonprofit organizations. For example, Omega is a proud supporter of the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, helping to

extend resources and care where they are most needed. To Omega, community involvement is more than an obligation — it is an expression of gratitude to the people and neighborhoods that place their trust in the firm.

What sets Omega apart is its people.

Many of the firm’s attorneys come from top schools and national firms, choosing Omega because it represents the kind of work they are most passionate about. At Omega, they saw the opportunity to stand with real people, to make a difference in their communities, and to practice law with both purpose and impact.

Omega Law Group stands for people first, results earned, and a future built on trust, compassion, and relentless advocacy.

A

typical beauty studio might whisper its ethos with modest decor and soothing color schemes, almost to deflect attention away from the act of beauty-seeking.

But Dirty Bird Esthetics isn’t a typical beauty studio.

The Midtown Sacramento waxing salon reads like a direct upload of owner Megan Vanderford’s maximalist and cheeky sensibility, with a floral mural cascading from ceiling to wall and vintage oddities drawing attention to every corner of the space. Beige: Be gone. Quiet luxury: Who is she?

For the last five years, Vanderford has built a brand based on fun — and on making clients feel good about themselves.

“You can kind of guarantee that people are going to feel so cute after their eyebrows, after their Brazilian wax,” she says, adding that she gets a secondhand satisfaction from the immediate results.

Under its sparkly veneer is an equally irreverent take on waxing.

“I’m a gross girl,” Vanderford says with a smile as she describes the down and dirty business of hair removal. The esthetician doesn’t blanch at ingrown hairs, which she’s accustomed to remedying. That said, she’s big on prevention. “Exfoliation is a really big part of it,” she says, emphasizing the importance of before- and after-care.

genuine relationships with our clients that it often feels like we’re hanging out with longtime friends.”

The gift of gab is a hallmark of wellness professionals, and for Vanderford, it’s what attracted her to the gig. “You don't really get to yap during facials because it's supposed to be a little bit more peaceful. I just feel like waxing definitely is more my speed and more of my personality.”

For fans of the yap, the gab and the tea, Vanderford spills it all on the Dirty Bird Instagram account. Her “Chirp and Chat” video series showcases genuine conversations on the waxing table: Waxer Jessi Lee is seen discussing imposter syndrome while administering a Brazilian wax to Vanderford, whose legs are up and walls are down; in another, Vanderford coaxes honest thoughts out of her husband, fellow business owner Anthony Giannotti, as she carefully plugs his nostrils with swabs of wax; and in one video, waxer Brittney Sanders reveals a fun fact about herself before Vanderford instructs her to fold “knees to chest.”

Vanderford, a former PR professional, is expert at creating a singular persona for Dirty Bird on social media — one that references pop culture, entertains with satirical skits, and plays up her softer side with real-talk posts.

Vulnerability, with its ability to disarm and bind client to practitioner, seems to be as much a secret sauce as the wax itself. “Creating a genuine connection,” says Padilla, is about “paying attention to details, delivering consistent, high-quality service and celebrating life’s milestones.”

Vanderford has grown her business steadily since 2020, but not without a few challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

She first signed a lease for a cozy one-room studio on Capitol Avenue on March 1, only to promptly shut it down by March 13. But the cycles of closures and reopenings during that first pandemic year worked in her favor, allowing her time to “readjust what I was getting wrong.” One year later, she hired her first employee and started to look for a larger space.

Celebrating their own milestones — or just a Tuesday — is a big part of Dirty Bird’s own team spirit, too. The s taff often embark on adventures outside of work, whether it’s creating a unique memory like visiting an ostrich farm or ners and concerts.

Evelyn Padilla, a former Dirty Bird client, joined the staff in 2021, after witnessing the warm and inviting atmosphere Vanderford had cultivated. “A day at Dirty Bird is never dull,” she says, nearly four years in. “Over time, we’ve built such

The five-year milestone was celebrated — how else — with Vanderford popping out of a giant, pink cake. Fans will have to wait and see what she pulls out of her hat for the honor of winning “Sacramento’s favorite in hair removal.”

ADULT DAYCARE

Reimagining Care

WITH DIGNITY, JOY & CONNECTION Daycation for Seniors provides more than supervision for aging adults — it was designed to deliver dignity, enrichment, and peace of mind for families. For James Slaughter, owner and director of franchising, the mission grew out of firsthand experience with the challenges of senior care.

“Many of us on the founding team had walked the difficult road of caring for loved ones with dementia or age-

related challenges, and we realized there wasn’t an affordable, enriching, and compassionate option available,” James said. “From the beginning, our mission has been to give seniors a place where they feel valued, safe, and connected, while offering caregivers much-needed relief.”

What started as a single center has now evolved into a model being franchised across California and into

other states. The vision is to make Daycation’s blend of safety, joy, and community accessible to more families while giving local owners the opportunity to build meaningful businesses.

The foundation of Daycation lies in purposeful programming. Each day is structured with activities that engage the body and mind – art projects, crafts, memory games, and light exercise.

SACRAMENTOFAVORITES.COM

“By engaging in structured yet enjoyable routines, participants maintain independence longer, improve cognitive function, and feel a renewed sense of belonging,” James said.

For many families, the impact is transformative. A caregiver named Karen brought her father to the Rocklin location while juggling the stress of caring for him and maintaining her own balance. “Almost immediately, she saw the difference,” James said.

“Her father began thriving in the warm, social environment — joining activities, laughing with peers, and building friendships. For Karen, it was a tremendous relief to see him happy and engaged while also knowing she had time to recharge.”

Inspired by the profound change she witnessed, she is now opening a Daycation location of her own in El Dorado Hills.

Music, games, and comfort animals also play a daily role. According to James, music has a unique way of unlocking memories and easing anxiety, while games encourage social interaction and lighthearted competition.

Comfort animals, he added, provide companionship and ease loneliness.

Celebrations are at the heart of Daycation. Birthdays, holidays, and cultural traditions not only lift spirits but also affirm the value of every participant’s background, culture, and life story.

Families often express gratitude for the peace of mind they gain by entrusting their loved ones to Daycation during the day. “The relief

reduces stress, prevents burnout, and often strengthens family relationships,” James said. “In many cases, participants thrive so well at Daycation that families can postpone or avoid more intensive care arrangements.”

For James, the distinction between Daycation and other senior care programs lies in its emphasis on life and thriving. “We’re not simply supervising seniors; we’re empowering them with meaningful activities, friendships, and a sense of belonging,” he said. The affordability and flexibility of the program make it accessible to families, while its compassionate approach means that seniors do more than just pass the time — they thrive.

Two new centers are opening soon in El Dorado Hills and Fair Oaks, California.

“These communities are a perfect f it for our mission, and we’re excited to serve local families by providing an affordable, compassionate, and enriching alternative to traditional senior care,” James said.

Each new location will uphold the same heart and philosophy of Daycation while embracing the character of the community it serves.

“It’s the next step in our journey to make Daycation for Seniors accessible to more families across California and beyond,” he said.

For the staff and operators of each Daycation location, the vision is simple but powerful: to provide seniors with dignity, joy, and connection, while giving caregivers the freedom and peace of mind they deserve.

RED HAWK

SLOTS | SUITES | SMILES | UNDER ONE ROOF Red Hawk Resort + Casino is one of Northern California’s premier gaming and entertainment destinations. With more than 2,200 slot machines, a full complement of table games, and a connected hotel and family entertainment complex, the resort offers guests a complete experience in one location.

“The large 88,000-square-foot gaming floor houses more than 2,200 slots and all the favorite table games, and includes dedicated high-limit and non-smoking gaming areas that provide the ultimate gaming experience for all types of visitors,” said Bryan deLugo, Red Hawk’s President and CEO. He added that the combination of variety and layout allows Red Hawk to appeal to seasoned players and newcomers.

To keep the gaming floor fresh, Red Hawk regularly rotates in the newest slot titles while maintaining popular table games such as blackjack and roulette.

“The resort combines the gaming offerings with loyalty incentives like tournaments, and cash and free play drawings, and other events and promotions to appeal to all types of travelers,” Bryan said.

Guests can participate in free daily slot tournaments Monday through Friday and enjoy giveaways and cash drawings on weekends. These promotions, along with the property’s Red Hawk Rewards

Club, encourage guests to return. Rewards members also receive discounts on hotel stays, giving them access to the resort’s broader amenities.

Red Hawk emphasizes both comfort and safety. A full floor is designated for non-smoking slot machines and tables so that all visitors can enjoy their visit in the environment they prefer.

The facility also expands the resort experience through The Apex, an allages family entertainment complex that includes 18 lanes of bowling, an indoor multi-level go-kart track, virtual golf, and an arcade. Families also have access to Kids Quest and Cyber Quest, which offer nonviolent video games and childcare options.

Red Hawk’s dining venues cover a wide range of tastes. Guests can enjoy American favorites at the Apex Grill, Apex Sports Bar, and Verona Coffeehouse, or elevate their evening with a variety of flavors at Pearl Asian Cuisine and the flagship steakhouse, Henry’s Steakhouse.

The Koto Buffet remains one of the area’s few all-you-can-eat experiences. Visitors can easily move between dining, live sports at the Apex, family entertainment, or late-night gaming.

Owned by the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Red Hawk reflects the culture and natural beauty of El Dorado

County. The property’s design incorporates tribal elements and panoramic views of the Sierra foothills, giving guests a sense of place rooted in the region’s history.

The hotel includes 156 guest rooms and 24 suites, each designed for comfort and convenience. Floor-to-ceiling windows in many rooms provide views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills.

The rooms’ views are complemented by upscale finishes with tribal inspirations.

“Our guests have amazing compliments for the friendliness and helpfulness of our team members and love the comfortable, spacious rooms, as well as the on-site entertainment options,” Bryan added.

The whole team at this resort provides a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment where guests can enjoy themselves at their own pace. “Whether someone is visiting for a weekend getaway, a family outing, or a night of gaming, we want them to feel welcome and cared for from the moment they arrive,” Bryan said.

At Red Hawk Resort + Casino, that approach — combining strong service, diverse amenities, and attention to detail — has helped the property stand out in Northern California’s competitive hospitality landscape.

BUILDING LEGACIES for Our Families & Retirees erasing the tax bill.

“It’s a planning opportunity most advisors don’t even know is possible,” said Lauren Williams, co-founder of ProsperPlan Wealth. “And most families don’t realize they can plan around it until it’s too late.”

For her partner, Chris Grellas, the case demonstrates what sets their company apart. “These are the kinds of wins people don’t expect until

IT IS ABOUT “DIGNITY, PEACE

OF MIND, AND HELPING PEOPLE

“

In the competitive world of financial advice, where big firms often put advertising, empty promises, and profits before people, Sacramentobased ProsperPlan Wealth is charting a different course. With more than 30 years of combined experience, co-founders Lauren Williams, CFP®, CRPC®, MBA, and Chris Grellas CFP®, MSFA, have built a practice on independence, empathy, and technological expertise that is saving clients and their families millions in unnecessary taxes while transforming lives along the way.

“Independence gives us the freedom to do what’s right, every time,” said Williams. “We are not tied to products or quotas. Our only responsibility is to the families and retirees we serve, and that changes everything.”

How so? Williams points to a recent planning case that highlights ProsperPlan’s depth of expertise. A Sacramento family was facing taxes on nearly $900,000 in capital gains inside an irrevocable trust. By working with a local estate attorney, Williams was able to help restructure the assets to ensure they passed to the children without tax ramifications - ultimately

they work with a highly specialized advisory team,” he said. “It takes technical knowledge, creativity, and the ability to see beyond the surface numbers.”

And it is not just about dollars saved. ProsperPlan’s impact often extends into the most personal areas of life. One client – a veteran quietly

battling lung cancer – came to the firm for retirement guidance and estate planning. Through their process, the team at ProsperPlan discovered he qualified for 100% VA disability benefits, which he had never claimed.

The benefits changed his financial trajectory and, just as importantly, lifted an enormous weight from his family’s shoulders.

“Moments like that remind us why we do this work,” Williams reflects.

“Financial planning is not only about investments and spreadsheets. It is about dignity, peace of mind, and helping people live their best life, which is what they deserve.”

ProsperPlan serves pre-retirees and retirees across Sacramento and is also widely recognized by business owners and families managing multigenerational wealth. Their clients share one thing in common: they’ve reached a stage where the stakes are too high for guesswork and the stress of self-managing finances is no longer a job they want.

That’s where ProsperPlan stands apart. Their proprietary five-step ProsperPlan™ takes the stress and uncertainty out of financial decision-making by blending

disciplined strategy with economics and psychology. The result is more than a roadmap - it’s a personalized framework that grows and protects wealth while staying aligned with what matters most to each client.

“Our vision has always been bigger than money,” said co-founder Chris Grellas. “We want to give retirees clarity, confidence, and the ability to stop worrying so they can focus on what matters most.”

According to Grellas, families do not just come for tax strategies or retirement plans, they come because they feel heard, understood, and protected.

It is this mix of technical brilliance and human care that has earned ProsperPlan the title of The Sacramento Bee’s Favorite Financial Planners.

As Williams puts it: “At ProsperPlan Wealth, we’re not just managing assets, we’re changing lives.”
