Located IN: Nevada City. Distance: 20 miles point to point. Difficulty Level: Hard. Know Before You Go: This is meant to be a one- to two-night backpacking trip. Campsites are available on the route and a permit is needed for fires and gas stoves. There are lots of mosquitos and overgrown sections, so plan accordingly. Bring plenty of water and a water filter, wear shoes with traction, tell someone about your plans in case of an emergency, and leave no trace.

There’s food that satisfies a physiological need, and there’s food that satisfies an existential need. The latter transcends hunger and borders on something even more fundamental and significant to our human existence: an interaction with the soul. That’s the best way I can describe my meal at Omakase Por Favor. A Japanese raw bar founded on the traditional coastal cuisine of Mexico, Omakase has a touch of fusion, but I would argue that some of the plates hint to something new entirely.
