For decades, Vikas Bajaj has dreamed of opening his own restaurant, one that would evoke the same joy and surprise he experienced as a child when dined with his father at the Maurya hotel in New Delhi.The hotel is popular among visiting dignitaries, and the restaurant, he says, set a standard  he has had trouble finding in the decades since, working and living in Australia, Singapore and Malaysia.Taj Mahal, a new Indian restaurant in Livermore, has a full bar with a signature cocktail menu. (Courtesy Chinar Desai) His dream, though, is finally coming true. He and his wife, Priya, recently opened an Indian fine-dining restaurant, Taj Mahal, in Livermore’s Republic Square complex. A grand opening is set for 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28 with Bollywood performers and a full buffet ($70 for adults, $45 for children).“I did not want to let life pass by,” he says. “I just gathered the courage to say ‘Hey, we’re going to do it, no matter what comes...

Chipotle says it may need to tick its food prices up to pay California wages

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:08:01 GMT

By Danielle Wiener-Bronner | CNNNew York — Chipotle, which just announced price hikes, said it will likely charge even more at its California restaurants, blaming a new law that raises minimum wages for fast food (and fast casual) workers in the state.“We haven’t made a decision on exactly what level of pricing we’re going to take,” said John Hartung, Chipotle’s chief financial officer, during an analyst call discussing the company’s third quarter results Thursday, adding that “we’ve been studying” the situation.“But to take care of the dollar cost of that and/or the margin part of that … it’s going to be a mid- to high single-digit price increase,” he said. “We are definitely going to pass this on.”A company spokesperson later told CNN that Chipotle hadn’t yet decided whether it will raise prices in California.California Gov. Gavin Newsom in September signed legislation that raises the minimum wage to $20 an hour for fast food workers, and creates a council that can approve further...

How spooked is California’s housing market? 12 factors to watch

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:08:01 GMT

A witches’ brew of economic forces is stirring unnerving thoughts about what’s next for California’s homebuying market.One particularly ghoulish factor in these spooky times is that most Californians can’t afford to buy a home in the state – whether they are a first-time house hunter or an owner looking for a new place.That’s largely due to a scary reversal of mortgage rates, which have risen to 23-year highs, less than three years since we saw record lows.Yes, prices have not cracked and remain near record highs.Still, these gut-twisting gyrations walloped the pace of statewide home sales, which are eerily slow and run 35% below average this year.Forecasting California’s homebuying future requires a peek into a spine-chilling concoction of market forces that may not mix well.Remember, housing’s history is filled with painful memories of the Great Recession and the very gloomy days of the early 1990s.But any California outlook means pondering a potentially haunted house with a dozen...

U.S. Quietly Expands Secret Military Base in Israel

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:08:01 GMT

Two months before Hamas attacked Israel, the Pentagon awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to build U.S. troop facilities for a secret base it maintains deep within Israel’s Negev desert, just 20 miles from Gaza. Codenamed “Site 512,” the longstanding U.S. base is a radar facility that monitors the skies for missile attacks on Israel. On October 7, however, when thousands of Hamas rockets were launched, Site 512 saw nothing — because it is focused on Iran, more than 700 miles away.The U.S. Army is quietly moving ahead with construction at Site 512, a classified base perched atop Mt. Har Qeren in the Negev, to include what government records describe as a “life support facility”: military speak for barracks-like structures for personnel.Though President Joe Biden and the White House insist that there are no plans to send U.S. troops to Israel amid its war on Hamas, a secret U.S. military presence in Israel already exists. And the government contracts and budget doc...

Israeli forces conducted another ground raid in Gaza in advance of an expected invasion of the Hamas-ruled territory that the country’s defense minister said would come soon. U.S. warplanes, meanwhile, struck targets in eastern Syria after attacks on U.S. forces by Iran-backed fighters, adding to regional tensions fueled by the 3-week-old Gaza war. The Palestinian death toll passed 7,300 as Israel launched waves of airstrikes in response to the bloody Hamas rampage in southern Israel on Oct. 7. The Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza, which tracks the toll, released a detailed list, including names and ID numbers on Thursday. In the occupied West Bank, more than 110 Palestinians have been killed in violence and Israeli raids since Oct. 7.More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians slain during the initial Hamas attack. In addition, 229 people — including foreigners, children and older adults — were taken by Hamas during the incursion and remain in capti...

Jets cornerbacks Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed clear concussion protocol and will play vs Giants

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:08:01 GMT

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets starting cornerbacks Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed cleared the concussion protocol and will play against the Giants on Sunday.Coach Robert Saleh announced Friday both Gardner and Reed are “good to go” after practicing fully this week.Gardner missed New York’s 20-14 victory over Philadelphia two weeks ago after being a late addition to the injury report with what was first called an “illness” by the team. But symptoms worsened for last year’s AP Defensive Rookie of the Year and it was determined he had a concussion.Reed sat out two games after being injured in the Jets’ 23-20 loss to Kansas City on Oct. 1. The return of both Gardner and Reed is a big boost for the Jets’ defense, which had Bryce Hall, Craig James and Tae Hayes replace them. The backups played well, but Gardner and Reed form one of the league’s top cornerback duos when healthy. “It does allow flexibility on the defense and it allows you to do some thin...
