Meat-and-cheese diet

When I drove out to eat at La Trattoria Bohemia in East Sacramento last week, the only vacant parking spot was in front of an under-construction building across the street. Formerly The Electric Bike Shop (which has moved to Midtown), the building was still undergoing major renovation, and I wondered what would come of the space. Fortunately, my curiosity only had to last one evening, because—as luck would have it—the next day, a friend informed me that the storefront will soon become The Cultured & The Cured, a specialty deli selling premium cheese, charcuterie, and local beer and wine. When it opens its doors at 3644 J Street, it'll be right in the middle of a nice spot for good eats and drinks, with neighbors La Trattoria, Bonn Lair and the relatively new Cielito Lindo Mexican Gastronomy.
