I moved to South Lake Tahoe in 1993 when I was 19 years old. I turned 50 this spring and I'm still stoked to live here 30 years later. I love South Lake, but I'm starting to wonder what it will look like in another 30 years. Our town is changing, shrinking, and losing "the middle", and if you don't see it, or you don't want to do anything about it, I am writing this to you.

Want a burger, pizza, pasta, bagel or wings? Tahoe has you covered. However, if you are craving some fesenjan with tahdig (if you know, you know), it’s time to fill up or charge up your car, because you’re heading to Sacramento. You could also head to my kitchen, where I prepare it along with many other staples of Persian cuisine.
