2020 without a doubt was a rough year for everyone on many different levels. Having local restaurants, also barely surviving by the skin on their teeth, stay open and serve our community was a game changer for many including me! I stuck to Arcata as it is my home town and it has everything I need to survive. I enjoy cooking but even that gets tiresome and repetitious. That being said the following is my list of go tos during the lock-down.
1. The Sushi Spot: Once a week and always Spot On! pun intended.
2. Big Island Kine: Yummy!
3. Hole in the Wall: Fridays for the win, Crab Sammie!
4. Murphys Market Sunny Brae: Their ready to cook chicken burgers at the meat counter are so darn delish and saved the day so many times I cant even count. Always something there to make a meal of. Thank you Arcata! ShawnaT
