Hot Plates Coming Through at Nori
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Wed, Apr 7, 2021 at 2:36 PM
While Joe Tan and Jack Wu,
both among the partners at Eureka’s Bayfront, are planning to offer sushi from
the gleaming white counter, the bulk of the menu will be a spread of Taiwanese
teppan dishes presided over by chef Yee Wen, whom diners may recognize from the
teppanyaki grill at Bayfront. Wen’s cooking will be behind the scenes at Nori
and he’ll be working with different flavors, like black pepper and mushroom
sauces for the meat, seafood, tofu and noodles served on searing hot metal
plates.

A Boba Cafe Makeover for the Former Chalet
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Tue, Mar 23, 2021 at 8:53 PM
Sometimes the universe closes one restaurant and opens another. Stalwart fans of Eureka’s Chalet House of Omelettes have migrated from the shuttered Fifth Street location to its Cutten sibling for breakfast, but the little diner next to Annie’s Cambodian won’t be empty much longer. In fact, the new neighbors will be family.
Namesake Annie Chau’s sister Sarah Ith Phe and her husband Henry Phe are busy pulling up carpet and painting the interior of the dining room, and replacing the stainless steel panels and hood exterior in the kitchen. Once the makeover and some electrical work is done, they’ll be opening S.I.P., a café serving Taiwanese boba teas, coffee drinks and snacks.

Esteban's Reopens in Arcata
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Sat, Mar 20, 2021 at 10:33 AM
"She is the one who puts all the flavor in the food — she is the one," says Cilveron. That flavor, in the pastor burrito and its deep orange rice, for example, remains the same as when he stirred the pots in the side kitchen and passed food across the tiny counter. "She's working hard to keep the legacy of Esteban, with the food the way he want it." But it's not always emotionally easy.

Laissez le Shanty Truck Rouler
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Sun, Mar 14, 2021 at 10:00 PM
The New Orleans offerings are an homage to owner Lynn Sandstrom’s wife Rana Krueger, whose 2020 death friends and regulars marked with a second line brass band parade through Old Town. Stacie Nunes, one of the bar’s managers, says, “Mardi Gras was one of her favorite bar holidays and we wanted to honor her and everything she meant to the Shanty.”
To that end, co-manager and bartender Jon Fisher, with assistance from bartender and former chef Mike Vitiello, put together a lineup of hushpuppies, red beans and rice and fish po’boys, as well as a Shanty burger with remoulade. New Orleans-style Brabant fried potatoes take a tumble in garlic butter and Cajun spice, and come with sauce vert and remoulade. Order the Shanty fries and get them under red beans and andouille sausage, melted Swiss cheese, scallions and parsley.
Times, Nunes notes, are tough and the bar hopes to give its regulars a break with items priced from $4 to $11. “We tried to keep it really cheap because we know people have to buy food in order to get a drink,” says Nunes. Not as cheap as a Shanty dog but close.

Taqueria Martinez Pulls Up
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Sat, Feb 27, 2021 at 9:00 AM
According to his son Christo, owner Miguel Santiago worked in kitchens at Shamus T. Bones, Rita's and Taqueria La Barca before striking out on his own. On the menu are Santiago's Oaxacan and Azteca-style burritos, tacos, tortas and quesadillas, including an ochre-tinged asada marinated with chile California and mixed with grilled red onions. He's hopeful the different flavors will set Taqueria Martinez apart from other local offerings. Translating for his father, Christo says, "There's no other place you can get food like this truck."

Eureka Gets Kentucky Fried
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Thu, Feb 25, 2021 at 12:28 PM
To those braving the potential traffic snarl from today's opening, good luck. To those less intrepid or perhaps feeling a little salty, Humboldt has a bevy of alternatives. If you have patience, Arcata's Plaza Grill has a fried chicken dinner in its takeout rotation, as does Six Rivers Brewery, and Restaurant Five Eleven has a popular buttermilk fried chicken. Ferndale's Fat Anne's has fried chicken dinners and buckets that can be made gluten-free upon request, and the recently opened Couxp truck in Arcata features a lineup of fried chicken sandwiches. These represent just the crispy tip of the mountain of local options. Feel free to share your favorites with us.

Fieri Buys Ferndale Meat Co. Building, Enterprise Reports
Posted By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill on Thu, Feb 11, 2021 at 11:04 AM
Apparently this doesn't mean you can expect Guy-talian fondue dippers at the counter. Titus reports Fieri will support owner Curt Terribilini's plans to keep things as they are, which is pretty much as they were when a young Fieri worked there and when he featured it on his show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Read the full story for the Mayor of Flavortown's reminiscing about the place and a look at its history here.
