Fork Lift  //  When Nugget transformed their Cameron Park Food 4 Less into Fork Lift in the fall of 2014, shoppers got the best of both worlds. The budget-friendly pantry staples stayed, while a supreme produce and meat section, self-serve salad bar, and the can’t-be-ignored cheese counter joined the culinary celebration. Their deli also offers numerous drool-worthy mains and sides that can be heated up at home (think Vietnamese meatballs and crispy risotto cakes), but on my recent visit, I fell for their made-to-order sandwiches. The concept is BYO (build your own), allowing patrons to pick from a plethora of meats, cheeses, toppings and freshly baked breads. Indecisive eaters—such as yours truly—can tell the friendly staff what they like and let them work their magic. For a small chunk of change, it was one of the best sammies I’ve ever had. Marinated and tender tri-tip was topped with tarragon mushrooms, onions and sweet red peppers, jalapeños for kick, Havarti cheese and peppery arugula—all piled into chewy ciabatta that had been slathered in their house-made garlic-ranch and artichoke-Romano sauces (they’re not on the menu but available in their fresh produce section) before being grilled on the panini press. A memorable sub can be hard to find, but after one bite of this masterpiece, the hunt for me officially ended. Fork Lift, 3333 Coach Lane, Cameron Park, 530-672-9090.
