Hot Pot Spot
Among the teeming suggestions for food-related resolutions for 2025, consider committing to more communal eating. Sharing a meal from a common bowl or platter, and tipping our faces into the steam together, is a balm to our beleaguered bodies and minds. We’re going to need it. Enter Ginger (1835 Fourth St., Eureka), which has meandered […]

Sun’s Out at Taco Town Fruteria
Some days, even the most chunkily be-scarfed among us is hit with a wave of seasonal affective downer, the need for a little sunshine. Sure, there’s light therapy, but it can’t hurt to try tacos. Taco Town Fruteria (320 F St., Eureka) opened in July, in the former home of Chuchi’s and before that Masaki’s […]

Arcata to Get Wild Hare Tavern
The darkened windows of the Jam may not be dark for too much longer. Her purchase of the business from owner Mike Munson is still pending, but longtime bartender Angela Robershotte has plans to open Wild Hare Tavern in the plaza-adjacent spot. Robershotte is keeping the specifics of the menu mum for now, but says […]

Il Forno in Fortuna
The people of Fortuna have evidently mastered manifestation, perhaps connecting with their namesake goddess. One can only assume this from the imminent opening of a larger branch of the Asia’s Best market there and a second location for the Garberville-based Il Forno Bakery (1006 Main St., Fortuna). What candles are you lighting, Fortunans? The chai […]

Tera Mar and Kate Manley showed up at 10 a.m. to stake out the first spot in line for a last meal from Japhy’s Soup and Noodles today. The restaurant announced its closure this week after a quarter century in business and the line for its final lunch service stretches up the block to Northtown […]

Hole Food
The doughnuts at Frankie’s NY Bagels (3750 Harris St., Eureka) are doused in an array of glazes to tempt anyone, but that many of the springy treats are vegan is somewhat miraculous. Lime, tamarind and hibiscus sprinkled, anyone? (Tragically, we have yet to make it in time for the crunch-topped créme brûlée before sell-out. And […]

Look Up for Rooftop Sushi
Those of us craning our necks in Old Town can satisfy our curiosity at last. The frankly named Rooftop Sushi is out in the daylight at last (148 E St., Eureka). Slip into the modest entrance on the E Street side of the new building and ride the elevator (a Eureka rarity) to the fourth […]

On the Jamwagon Bandwagon
You can’t miss the bright blue Jamwagon food truck with its red lettering announcing pitas, gyros, hummus, falafel and fries (1631 Central Ave., McKinleyville; updates on Facebook). And good thing, too. (Sidebar: Is McKinleyville’s Central Avenue, with its Indian takeover days at the Taqueria Martinez truck, Auntie Hao’s and now this Greek street-food operation, becoming […]

‘Our Food is Our Medicine’
Marion Frye is cutting sea anemones, or sa’roh, gelatinous looking fists pulled from rocks at low tide. She’s let them rest a couple days in water so they won’t sting her hands. “Yeah, ‘horse’s ass,’” she says with a chuckle, explaining the nickname of the creatures whose flowery tendrils retract when touched. She cuts into […]

Sushi Spot’s Tipping Point
The social media response to Sushi Spot posting its new policy regarding gratuities was swift and nuclear, with Facebook posters and commenters largely deriding the announcement, some even swearing off patronizing the business for good. But the plan itself, the automatic addition of an 18-percent “equity fee” for dine-in and 10 percent for takeout to […]

Alchemy’s Pop-up Magic
Less than an hour before sunset, the Alchemy Distillery (330 S. G St., Arcata) gives off the glow and thrum of a party through the large open window counter, where patrons sit inside and out, bustling bar traffic on one side, overhead heat lamps cutting the chill on the other. There’s still a line of […]
