An Outlaw Cook in Humboldt County

Nothing good lasts forever. The Diner outgrew its location, a greedy landlord refused to remodel, even with the prospect of increased rent, and the only way up would have been to raise prices and/or change to a high-rent venue in Eureka or Arcata. Al and Andrea had enjoyed raising their daughters in a rural environment, and they closed up and moved to … well, a more rural locale. We’re told their restaurant there is booked months in advance, but that they will always make room for old customers.
