Here It Is: The


Cream of the Crop
Welcome to the Auburn Journals Best of the Best special
section. In this publication, youll find information about the
businesses and professionals chosen by you, the readers, as the
best in their chosen field.
And thats what sets this section apart: The results are not
chosen by us, or by web clicks or any other indicator other than
your own. You chose the winners and you voted for them, based
on your own positive experiences.
In some cases, the same merchant or professional has won
numerous times in the past which doesnt diminish the
satisfaction of being chosen the best in your field. In other cases,
the winners are first-timers. Youve no doubt seen the Auburn
Journal Best of the Best plaques and certificates displayed
proudly in businesses in our region. That endorsement is the single
most valuable piece of evidence that an enterprise is operating in a
way that breeds customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Whether youre new in town or a lifelong resident, its both
interesting and valuable to go through the selections. Many people
keep the section handy throughout the year. When you need your
gutters cleaned or a suit tailored, weve got you covered. And
you can drill down deeper, too, depending on your tastes: Youre
hungry for lunch and dont know what youre craving? We list the
Best Lunch. But if youre craving a burrito for lunch, we can point
you to the place voted tops for that, too.
Some categories lean more toward fun than function. You chose
the Best Sign Dancer, Best Nightclub or Bar, Best Tanning Salon
and Best Tattoo Parlor.
In other cases, the categories are more serious and the stakes
higher: Best Surgeon, Best Firefighter, Best Veterinarian.
We asked, you answered, and now youre holding the results:
The Auburn Journals Best of the Best. We hope you enjoy reading
the profiles as much as we enjoyed compiling them. It was fun
to break the news to a small-business owner that he or she was
picked by acclaim. Thanks for participating in our promotion.

Whats your reaction to learning that you


were chosen as the Best of the Best in your
chosen field?
Obviously, I was ecstatic. When I won last
year, I didnt think I could feel
better than in that moment.
To win for a second year in
a row is much better. When
you work for a firm that is
known for its outstanding service,
its quite an honor to be singled out
from your peers.
What is it about your company or
yourself that distinguishes you from
the competition? In short, why do
you think you won?
I entered the financial-services

industry because I like helping people achieve their long-term financial goals.
Building relationships with my clients and in my community is key. The decisions
my clients are making when they meet with me will affect their financial futures.
They are big decisions that deserve my undivided, personal attention.
What would you like to say to those who voted for you to win this award?
It is an honor to receive this award. I am one of those fortunate people who
gets to make a living doing something I truly enjoy. This industry is always
challenging and sometimes difficult, but I enjoy helping the people of Auburn
meet their financial goals. I am truly humbled to be recognized for my work, and
I will work tirelessly to continue to earn your confidence and trust. Myfamily
and Ilive right here in Auburn,which helps me really get to know the values
and needs of my clients. Much of my business comes from referrals or from the
people I see while Im doing everyday things like going to the grocery store,
enjoying a meal in one of our many great restaurants,or attending community
events. We truly are blessed to live in such a great community.

Ropers
Jewelers

Best Realtors

How does it feel to be considered the best at


what you do in the Auburn area?
Its wonderful. It means a lot that people believe in
us that much, then take the time to essentially say that
out loud. I get a little nervous every
year around this time. We have
a lot of great jewelers in town,
locally owned and supported by
the community. Any one of them can
deserve this and I never assume it will be
us.
What do you feel sets your business apart
and earned you the distinction?
I think the number one thing we have
going for us is longevity. Weve been in the
community since 1956. We are fortunate to

have dealt with grandparents and parents and children. When its time for an important
purchase like an engagement ring or something they ask family wholl say, Oh youve
got to go to Ropers. Its an important component of who we are and our challenge is to
continue to provide that level of service so our current clients will tell their children.
What is your favorite piece of jewelry in the store?
That depends on the day. Maybe because I am surrounded by all of this beautiful
jewelry all of the time, for me to get gaga about a piece doesnt happen very often. But
right now there are definitely a couple of pieces I wouldnt mind taking home.
Anything you would like to say to the people who voted for you?
First of all, thank you; thank for continuing to trust and believe in us, for taking the
time to vote and making your voice heard. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Auburn Home
Shows

What is your reaction to winning?


I think because the Auburn
Home Shows have such fantastic
vendors, exhibitors and displays,
that they are the ones that deserve
the honor.
What distinguishes you from the
competition?
I think its a unique venue for Auburn. There
are other venues that are equally good, but
Im just very proud the voters recognized us.
Theres no other venue around that focuses
on the home. We have festivals, we have

parades, we have a lot of


activities, but were a regional event and we
bring in not only attendees but vendors from six different counties, and I think we show
off Auburn.
Do you have any kind of statement or promise to the people who voted for you?
We are a family-owned business, and we are all committed to maintain the confidence
that the voters placed in us, and we will endeavor to make each show a little better than
the last.
What is your favorite part of the shows?
My favorite part of the show is, when the show opens, I love to see the people that are
lined up coming in. Because I know theyre there to see the vendors, and I know weve
done our best to bring the people in to visit us.

Dingus Mcgees, which reopened 2 years ago after


nearly a decade out of business, has reemerged and is
taking Auburn by storm. The California Cajun cuisine
is unlike anything else in the area.
Basically were a steak, seafood,
and pasta house, said Dave
Nelson, owner of the restaurant
since 1995, We specialize in a
California Cajun cuisine. I think we
really hit more of the Cajun market up
here than anybody ever has.
The restaurant is not only very broad in
terms of food, but also in terms of price.
Our menu is very diversified price-point
wise, Dave Nelson said, Entrees start at
$9.95 and they go up from there. We try to

Dingus Mcgees

appeal
to a broad spectrum. We
dont want anybody to feel left out. If
youve got a guy making a million bucks
or you got a guy making $10,000 a year,
they can eat at the same table, which is
pretty important to us.
Today, the place that was once open in
Colfax, has opened where the Headquarter
House used to call home.
The headquarter house was the
restaurant that was here before, said
Devon Nelson, assistant manager and son
of Dave Nelson, It was open around the
same time as Dingus originally. Theyve
been closed for eight or 10 years. So its
kind of a good merger of two past entities

from this area coming together.


Even the old owners of the headquarter
house still come in quite frequently,
said Michael Scagliotti, Executive Chef,
Theyre really excited to see this location
be revitalized after being dormant for so
long.
For those who remember Dingus from
when Colfax was home, the food, even ten
years later, should taste the same.
The whole kitchen staff came back
after 10 years, Dave Nelson said, They
used to work in the old location and they
all came back after 10 years. So its the
same kitchen staff it was in the early
2000s.

Open Tuesday and Wednesday 3p.m.- 9


p.m. and Thursday thru Sunday 11 a.m.
9 p.m. and closed all day Monday.

What is it about your appetizers


and dessert that you feel earned them

Our desserts are very good and
big and we have great appetizers. I
like the way the way they are presented
on the plate; the chefs do a very nice
job.
What is your favorite appetizer?
The Thai Chili Tenders (chicken
tenders tossed in a sweet and spicy Thai
chili sauce over a bed of rice noodles,
topped with cilantro and scallions).

Best Title Company

And your favorite dessert?


I like Maxs Fantasy Torte (three
layers of cheesecake, chocolate

bittersweet chocolate).

Well, its a very nice restaurant with
a very nice atmosphere, plus we have a

Leslies Cleaning
Services

What is your reaction to winning?


Even though its happened,
I think, every year since the
category came out, its a huge deal
to us. We work for that every day
with every client, and it just feels like
a huge success when we win it. It really
does. Its a pretty big deal to me.
What distinguishes you from the
competition?
First off, we use legitimate, state-of-the-art
science in the cleaning that we do. Its very
different than what anybody else is doing,

not only here but even throughout


the country. The level of service I have
somebody in there 40 hours a week to answer the phone. Nobody is answering the
phone while theyre cleaning, that kind of thing. So we go above and beyond in terms
of service, more importantly, were really using current knowledge and science in the
cleaning that were doing so were creating healthier spaces, and thats really what I set
out to do years ago when I made this shift in the direction of my company.
Do you have any kind of statement or promise to the people who voted for you?
Other than thank you, were going to continue to work for that all year long, like we
did last year and the year before.
What is your favorite thing about your cleaning business?
I would say the research I do. I do all the research. We have a product that were
manufacturing, so thats been really fun and thats coming out this year. Its actually
being bottled right now, so thats fun. So were very innovative, were coming out with
a cleaning product, I do all the scientific research, I do all the training, I travel all over
the country. My job is fun.

Company,

What is your reaction to winning?


I feel really fortunate to live in such a great town with
great customers, basically. It seems like our customer
base is mostly local people and people that we know
personally. Its just a good feeling to know that we have a
lot of good, loyal customers.
What distinguishes you from the competition?
I would have to say customer service. When customers
come in, they can actually talk to somebody. Instead of
just going and grabbing something out of the counter,
they can come into the meat marked for specific items
that a lot of other places dont carry but we do. Were also
available to talk to about cutting instructions, cooking
instructions and stuff like that. If anybody needs a tip
on how to cook a particular cut of meat, we have a welltrained staff to answer those questions.

Do you have any kind of statement or promise to the people who


voted for you?
Well continue to improve and do a better job at serving the community.
What is your favorite thing at Longhorn Meat Company?
My favorite thing is the interaction with the customers and being able to
supply a wide variety of meets. You cant go up to Safeway or Raleys to
go get frog legs, rattlesnake, exotic meats, stuff like that. Were kind of an
exotic niche here.

How does it feel to be considered the best


at what you do yet again?
Its very satisfying. Hopefully my
honesty is paying off. My main
thing is honesty and
trustworthiness. I hope
you wont find a person
in the county who would
say otherwise. I stand up for the
customer.
Do people look for honesty more
than anything else in a mechanic?

A lot of people look for a deal,
the cheap way out. But, they learn
the cheap way out may not be the
cheapest in the long run.

Scott Chiaratti,

If you could work on any car, what would it be?


Toyotas. I know them inside and out. When youve worked on them for
so long it makes it a lot easier. I started working at Toyota in 1988-89, right
around the time fuel injection was coming in. All of the old timers were trying
to learn something new and for me that made it kind of nice for me.
What is the best part of your job?
I like that Im not doing the same thing every day. My grandfather had
Chiaratti Garage in Auburn, closed it down around 1973. Unfortunately I
wasnt able to take it over at age 7.
Any advice you would give car owners so they might not have to see you
so often
Maintain and check your fluids and your tires! You can email me at
hope I can be of help to you in the future.

Auburn Farmers Market


8 a.m. to noon Saturday in the Old Town Courthouse parking lot,
Auburn-Folsom Road at Lincoln Way in Auburn. Year round.
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday at the DeWitt Center, Bell Road
and First Street, Auburn. June 4 through October 29.
Info: placergrown.org/farmers-markets,
foothillfarmersmarket.com.
How does it feel to be considered the best
produce in the Auburn area?
It feels great that the best quality produce from
our local growers is getting recognized. The difference
is becoming more appreciated because more people are
shopping locally at farmers markets and buying direct
from growers. Its all in season, picked at the peak of
ripeness, not shipped. The farmers benefit by selling
directly to customers. Its wonderful that more and more
people are finding out about it.

Auburn Farmers
Market

What do you feel sets this market apart and earned you the distinction?
It had been around since 1989. It was ahead of its time for the local food movement. There are
some growers still with us who have been here since the beginning. The community knows about the
farmers market in Old Town Auburn on Saturday. They can get produce, meat, eggs, flowers, honey
they know they can get it from people that they know, like an extension of their family.
Do the Wednesday and Saturday markets offer anything different?
The Old Town market is much larger and diverse than the one on Wednesdays at the DeWitt
Center, which has really high quality produce and vendors too. That one is in a park on grass with

What is your reaction to
winning?
Its a goal for us always to be the
Best of the Best every year, so Im
happy we met our goal.
What distinguishes you from
the competition?

Everything price, service and atmosphere.


Do you have any kind of statement or promise to the people who voted
for you?
Its our goal to strive to always give Auburn residents the best price for the
best quality merchandise so you dont have to drive down the hill. People
down the hill come up.
What is your favorite thing at The Sleep Store?
I love fitting people in the right mattress for them. Its kind of a challenge.
Everybody is a little different, everybody sleeps a little different, everybodys
needs are a little different. We have 50 beds on the floor that we can help fit
you in, whether its firmness or price or size. Its kind of fun. Weve been
doing it for 20 years, and we plan to do it for another 20. We have a furniture
store now where our warehouse is, so that got lumped into the category, and
since its us, that kind of won by extension too. On its own, its a cool thing.
Its something different that Auburn needed.

(Answered by David
McHugh)
Whats your reaction to
learning that you were chosen
as the Best of the Best among
investment companies?
Its truly an honor to be

relationships with those clients

Edward Jones is a partnership. That structure is not just financial; its a

of working with long-term individual investors. That brings out the best in
everyone. Edward Jones embraces the importance of building long-term, faceto-face relationships with clients, helping them to understand and make sense
of the investment options available today.

Bison Blanc Viognier


Lone Buffalo Vineyard

How does it feel to be considered the best


at what you do in the Auburn area?
Its very flattering and I am very
grateful for it.
What is it about your winemaking
process you feel may have earned you the
distinction?
I set out to make the best wine I can make.
The wine I want to make instead of what the
market will accept. Fortunately what I like is
what others like. Ninety-five percent is done
when you get the grape out of the vineyard. You
can be a good caretaker of it; there are certain
things you can do that distinguish it.
Tell us a little about the Bison Blanc
Viognier.
The whole family at Lone Buffalo
believes that in Placer County you
should be making wines that do well in this
region. It aint Chardonnay country. Its too
warm for really good Chardonnay. Viognier can
really excel in the foothills. In the eight years
weve been doing this, there has been a big
recognition in Viognier from people out tasting.

Ours is a blend of vines from two different elevations. Some grapes are grown at our
vineyards here 1,000 feet or more and some come from El Dorado County at about
2,600 feet. Viognier does something different at those two elevations. The higher grapes
produce a more flowery, perfumey product; the lower ones more rich and complex.
Blending them together gets the right mix.
You won gold (2011 Tatonka Tempranillo) and silver (2011 Where the Buffalo
Roam) at this years State fair competition. Tell us about those wines.
Where the Buffalo Roam is our flagship wine, we started out with it and it
consistently does well at competitions. It took gold at the Orange County Fair and silver
at the Chronicle Wine Competition. Its a very versatile Rhone style blend which goes
well with a lot of different foods and is good by itself. Blending is really where its at;
theres a lot more flexibility and year after year it produces a wine that is relatively the
same. You are more able to compensate for certain variables when you blend. I am a big
Tempranillo fan, I think its the coming red in the foothills. It can be a difficult variety
to deal with; in some ways it takes longer to come around and show its true colors than
others. Its an interesting wine that tends to be a little more earthy and rustic than our
other wines.
Anything you would like to say to the people who voted for you?
Thank you, first and foremost. This is not something we campaign for. We were
really excited when we were told about it. It is an indication that we must be doing
something right. We are very grateful.

Thank You for Voting Us

Royal Signs

Mary, office aide


What was the
reaction to winning
Best of the Best among sign
shops?
We were very happy for Al
Haddad, and he was really
happy, too. Extremely happy.

What distinguishes you from your competitors?


In my opinion, everyone who comes in gets one-on-one attention; their
needs are met. Our pricing is definitely lower than some of the others in
the area. He does a really superb job. Hes open, hes honest, hes a small
local business, and everyone likes him.
Message to those who voted for you?
Its very simple: We thank Auburn for voting us the best of the best.
Royal Signs is very proud to represent the industry and to provide
excellent quality and workmanship.
Do you have a favorite type of job or product?
Al does everything from banners to vinyl lettering, logos, T-shirts,
posters. Every single job he does, he gives it the same professional care.

What is your reaction


to being voted
Best of the
Best?
Were very
excited. Its hard
without state funding
to keep our grounds as
nice as wed like them to
be. Its nice that they are
still thinking of us as the
best venue.
What is it that

distinguishes you from your competition?


Weve been here forever. Its a traditional place to have an event.
What would you like to say to those who voted for you?
Thank you. Thank you for believing in us.
What is your favorite event at the fairgrounds?
The fair, of course. I have to say that. Probably because I grew up
on High Street. That was the biggest attraction then in Auburn. Its
traditional to me.
