YUBA CITY, CA (MPG) - Local eatery Lambert House Cafe will be hosting a visit from America’s Best Restaurants (ABR) in mid-May.

America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently owned restaurants, will bring its America’s Best Restaurants Roadshow to the restaurant on May 19. Popular dishes will be highlighted, along with an extensive on-camera interview with owner Natalie Lambert about the restaurant’s special place in the community. The episode will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date.

Lambert began her career in the hospitality industry working as a barista and line cook in high school and college. Following graduation, she worked in education and then healthcare, but wanted to make a career change that would be more conducive to raising her children. She found a cafe on social media that was closing and inquired about it.

“A few phone calls and a couple cocktails later it was unanimous that we were buying the equipment and opening our own cafe,” Lambert recalls, adding that she really did not know what she was doing.

But she figured it out, opening on Valentine’s Day 2019.

The cozy, casual restaurant is named after the Lamberts because they want it to be a reflection of their own home and hospitality. They assist area youth with entry-level employment opportunities, and also support other small local businesses by obtaining ingredients from area farmers, bakeries and coffee roasters.

The cafe serves breakfast all day, daily specials, a lunch menu of salads, sandwiches and burgers and a wide variety of drinks including local wines and eleven flavors of mimosas. Popular menu items that may be featured on the episode include the Loaded Hot Mess, biscuits and gravy with hash browns and eggs; (made from scratch every morning), the Stuffed Jalapeño Bacon Popper Burger and the award-winning beef chili, made from a family recipe.

America’s Best Restaurants will be filming on location on Monday May 19 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. pacific standard time (PST). The restaurant’s finished episode premiere date will be announced on their Facebook page (@americasbestrestaurants) and will be featured on America’s Best Restaurants’ website at americasbestrestaurants.com.

Restaurants featured on the America’s Best Restaurants Roadshow are selected based on their customer reviews, menu items, social media presence, and level of involvement with their community. They are found through customer nominations, internal vetting or by a restaurant applying to be featured at americasbestrestaurants.com.
