Menu of Menus 2018

Hungry for something new? So are we. The landscape of restaurants in Humboldt County is ever shifting, with new places sprouting up in every corner. There are fresh newcomers, new branches of old favorites, start-up stands and cuisines we haven’t seen in our neck of the woods before. Wondering how many of them you haven’t tried yet?

L Roasted beet and carrot salad at Campground.

J An order to go at Frankie’s NY Bagels.

K Board No. 1 and a cold draft at The Boardroom.

Before we peruse the new options before us, a fond farewell to some of the restaurants we lost over the last year, some local favorites among them. Black Lightning Motorcycle Cafe took its last ride. The Eureka institution that was Liu’s is closed and the place is up for sale. Ferndale Omelette Factory and Lost Coast Cafe closed their doors, too, as did standbys The Yellow Rose and V&N Burger Bar. Our collective sweet tooth took a hit when Nona’s Ice Cream and Coffee, Marie Callender’s and Ferndale Pie Co. all called it quits. And I hope you enjoyed your last sticky bun because Humboldt Sweets has pulled up stakes for Las Vegas.

Have a good cry into your napkin (we have) and progress to the stage where you feed your feelings. Enough new restaurants and bars have opened up in the past year to offer all the comfort food and drink you could ask for.

In Arcata, the red Tacos La Bonita truck (1499 Spear Ave.) has grown into a neighborhood staple, a family run stop for tacos, burritos and sopes. Just off the plaza is the dinner game-changer Campground (865 Ninth St.), with a transportive forest-chic decor and a blazing grill fire-roasting everything from aged steaks to salmon to seasonal vegetables. Fast casual makes its move into Humboldt with Burger Joint (835 J St.) flipping beef patties, salmon and more onto buns in the former home of Three Foods and Harvest. Wolf Dawg has packed up its fancy mac and cheese hot dogs and traded its Eureka location for new digs at 1731 G St. Fans of Big Pete’s Pizza can order up New York-style slices and pies again at The Jam (915 H St.). On Saturdays, you can find jerk chicken and other Jamaican specialties at the Jerk Kitchen stand at the Arcata Farmers Market (you might find it at The Jam for special events, too).

Eureka has been busy, too. Henderson Center got fancy French fusion in the form of Le Monde (2850 F St.) with its duck, French Champagnes and a menu that changes monthly. The Boardroom and Frankie’s NY Bagels brought charcuterie and noshable carbs, respectively, to Redwood Acres (3750 Harris St.), and Tres Chiles Picosos filled the former Marie Callender’s with contemporary Mexican dishes and tableside guacamole. Just a mango’s toss away at the Bayshore Mall, Fresh and Fruiti Raspados and More (330 Broadway) means you don’t

have to wait for the fair to score Mexican fruit cups and shaved ice. Mobile units have rolled in, too, including the Pacific Rim-Cajun truck Yo Mama’s Fish & Shrimp, and rib-and-brisket operation SeaSmoke Barbeque. We’re keeping a weather eye out for The Madrone Brick Fire Pizza and Taproom (321 Third St.) in Old Town and Fat Cat (415 Seventh St.), billed as a “bakery, tappery and carvery.” Redwood Curtain Brewing Co. and its sidekick LoCo Fish Co. are opening up second locations in Eureka, too, this summer (1595 Myrtle Ave.).

Traveling southward into the Eel River Valley area, Fortuna adds Fat Anne’s Bakery and Bistro (939 Main St.) to its roster for sandwiches, salads and homemade pies and cakes. And over in Ferndale, Tuyas Mexican Restaurant (553 Main St.) is serving mole and blue corn tacos in its airy dining room. Rio Dell has had its share of openings, too. Wildwood Waffles (770 Wildwood Ave.) hits the sweet and savory notes, stuffing waffles with everything from cream cheese and blackberry jam to pastrami. Coffee lovers can hit up The Green Bean (281 Wildwood Ave.) for coffee, panini and pasta dishes, as well as a new branch of Fortuna favorite Shotz Coffee House (541 Wildwood Ave). And over in Carlotta, Tornado Dave’s (5427 State Route 36) has twisted into town with seafood, steaks and a smoker full of barbecue.

Down in Garberville, the Pineapple Express Hawaiian Plate Lunch truck (744 Redwood Drive) is zipping around and dishing out kalua pig, furikake-crusted mahi mahi and shave ice.

And look out for Souji House (436 Church St.), newly opened with “Asian soul food,” ice cream and Japanese desserts. Finally, Shelter Cove has seen a pair of openings this year. Gyppo Ale Mill (1661 Upper Pacific Drive), where you can sip the house brew (bring a growler for the road) with seared steaks and fish and chips. And for Venezuelan cuisine with a view, there’s garlicky shrimp and plantains at Mi Mochima (210 Wave Drive).

We’re still working our way through the roster of new restaurants (and bars — see page 26) and you probably are, too. If you find something you like, let us know by emailing jennifer@ northcoastjournal.com and we’ll follow up on the lead. Who’s hungry? †

Morsels by Month

By Josephine Johnson

Prepare to mark some dates because here is a list of Humboldt’s annual food festivals.

We’ve got a year full of tasty events ahead of us, both for good causes and just because.

Remember, whether you’re sucking down oysters or noshing on fair food, it’s not gluttony — it’s community spirit.

Big Chili Cook-off: In mid-January Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the North Coast hosts its annual cook-off at the Mad River Tasting Room in Blue Lake. Chow down on chili and groove to live tunes for the sake of local kids.

Bowl of Beans: Jan. 21 at the Arcata Community Center.

An evening of local music and youth performances with a traditional rice and beans dinner to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day and benefit Arcata youth.

sam armaNino

After all that chili, beans and rice, a digestive rest is in order. Well, maybe just a little local Valentine’s chocolate and a St. Patrick’s Day beer.

Mark McKenna

Spamley Cup: Ah, SPAM , that guilty, salty-fatty, porky-ham pleasure. Local chefs and armchair connoisseurs compete and craft this specially processed American meat into gourmet entrees. The great local music, kid activities and food benefit CASA of Humboldt. Spamtastic!

22

Menu of Menus 2018

Up in Smoke BBQ and Beer Tasting: At Eureka's Redwood Acres Fairgrounds, local breweries showcase their wares and barbecue aficionados compete for top honors.

And it’s all you can eat. With local music. Proceeds go to the Clarke Museum.

Pony Express Days: In the first week of June, it’s another round of chili, a good option for those sometimes cold, overcast days. Pony Express Days in McKinleyville hosts an entire week of family fun, including this chili cookoff at the McKinleyville Recreation Center.

Sample every chili and vote for the champion.

Trinidad Fish Festival: June 17. An all-day party in the “drinking town with a fishing problem,” featuring live music, vendors and a big 'ol fish feed in the sunshine.

Best of Humboldt Fair: Takes place June 21 through 24 at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds, featuring local food products, tastings, funnel

cakes and the best fried fair food. It’s a great place to catch the best of what’s being produced in Humboldt.

Arcata Bay Oyster Festival: With more than 12,000 attendees each year, the bivalve bacchanalia on the Arcata Plaza is one of Humboldt’s signature summer events. Always on the Saturday before Father’s Day — this year, it’s June 16. The event is sponsored by Arcata Main Street and proudly showcases the aquaculture of our very own Humboldt Bay with live music, shucking contests, an army of vendors and chefs competing for best oyster.

drew hyland

23

Taste of the Cove: Sept. 1, get ready for a meal with a view at Mal Coombs Park in Shelter Cover. Grilled fresh-caught seafood is the order of the day. Proceeds benefit Heart of the Redwoods Community Hospice.

Fourth of July: Get ready for fireworks and food as Arcata, Eureka, Benbow and Ferndale all boast day-long celebrations with tons of local food vendors, music, games and family-friendly activities.

Tastin’ Trinidad: On Sept. 20 local restaurants, cafes, wineries and breweries showcase what they do best as the sun sets over the seaside town. Bocce ball, live music and fun for the kids.

North Country Fair: Held Sept. 15 and 16 on the Arcata Plaza, this two-day romp in the sunshine has been a jewel of local culture since 1974. The fair features regional arts, crafts, music and food — pizza, beer, oysters, barbecue, sweet treats and much more.

Taste of Willow Creek: In mid-July, go inland to Willow Creek and enjoy all the best local deliciousness — wine, hors d’oeuvre, barbecue, fruits, veggies, local art and music.

Fortuna Rodeo: July 15-22 saddle up for the Fortuna Rodeo’s signature chili cookoff and annual pit barbecue — 4,000 pounds of beef, 80 gallons of potato salad, 1,800 bread rolls and 100 gallons of baked beans, y'all.

mark larson

Blackberry Festival: At the end of July, head to the Westhaven Fire Hall for blackberry and huckleberry pie, barbecue, beer and wine. Local music, too. Proceeds go to the Westhaven Volunteer Fire Department. amy kumler

Yurok Salmon Festival: Aug. 18 marks the 56th year of this family friendly fest. Held at the Klamath Community Center, the celebration includes cultural demonstrations, a 5K run, heavy machinery rodeo and more. The lunch includes Klamath salmon if available.

Hops in Humboldt: On Aug. 25, get ready to get your beer and grub on at Humboldt’s biggest beer fest in Rohner Park, Fortuna. Pizza, pretzels, Indian tacos, tri-tip, fries, kabobs and more compete for room in your belly with beer from more than 50 breweries from across the West Coast.

Humboldt County Fair: Aug. 16 thru 26. Sure, you can check out prize-winning livestock, enjoy the thrill of the mid-way or try your luck at the horsetrack. But really, you’ll want to load up on favorites that only come around once a year — funnel cakes, shaved ice, corn dogs, cotton candy, caramel corn and all things deep fried and delicious.

24

Menu of Menus 2018

Lost Coast Beer & Bocce Tournament: Sept.

15 brings a full day of food, beer and Bocce with live music at Firemen's Park in Ferndale.

Fieldbrook Art & Wine Festival: The last Saturday in September at the Fieldbrook Winery, enjoy barbecued oysters, albacore, local wine, beer, music and artisan booths. Benefits Fieldbrook Educational Foundation and Fieldbrook School.

Apple Harvest Festival: The first weekend in October, Fortuna throws an old fashioned street fair with bushels of apples — on sticks, with caramel, in pies, baked and deep-fried.

There’s even more food, barbecue and family activities in Rohner Park.

Hoptoberfest: Held mid-October in Perigot Park in sunny Blue Lake, this one celebrates regional breweries, area food vendors and local talent.

Proceeds benefit Blue Lake Education Foundation.

Oktoberfest: It’s a traditional German-style dinner at Rohner Park, Fortuna. German and local beer, beer barrel and stein races, polka and “oompah” music to top off the bratwurst.

Benefits Fortuna Senior Center.

León Villagómez

Intertribal Gathering and Elders Dinner: The Redwood Acres Fairgrounds welcomes all and celebrates elders the second Saturday in November The event gives a glimpse into local Native cultures with traditional dance, art and music.

Elders are served a free traditional salmon dinner at noon.

Mushroom Fair: The annual fun since 1978 is always on the Sunday before Thanksgiving at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds.

Learn about all things fungi-rrific, get mushroom cookbooks and recipes, and bring in your found fungi for accurate identification.

Ferndale Tree Lighting and Linguiça and Beans Dinner: On the first Saturday in December, join the residents of the Victorian Village lighting the tallest living Christmas tree in America, then head over to the Portuguese Hall for a traditional meal of linguiça and beans. A heartwarming, friendly, delicious evening with — what else? — cookies for dessert. †

How to Pick a Bar in Humboldt

By Grant Scott-Goforth and Jonathan Webster

H

umboldt County’s bars are the perfect spots to sample its fine local beers and spirits, while taking in great music, watching a game and mingling with the locals. From world-class Bloody Marys to highend cocktails to $2 pints, Humboldt bars have you covered morning, day and night. Just remember — our county’s roads are dangerous enough, so plan ahead and designate a sober driver.

yes not really / maybe

Humboldt’s got a happening live music scene, with up-and-coming and established bands playing every genre. Not to mention DJs, karaoke and more. Check up-tothe-minute listings at www.northcoastjournal.com or plan your week with the “Music and More” grid in the paper edition of NCJ.

Life hack: To avoid bad hangovers, drink plenty of water. And less alcohol.

The Shuffleboard tables at AA Bar & Grill and the Palace Saloon are monuments in their respective institutions. You can shuffle down on the Eureka Waterfront at Vista Del Mar, too. Open and inviting Redwood Curtain Brewery hosts monthly shuffleboard tournaments.

Going out for a drink in the more urban parts of Humboldt has one huge advantage: You’ve got choices.

This Venn diagram can help you narrow them down. At the center with a little bit of everything, is The Alibi, actually two bars in one.

Its newer half opened in 2015 but the enduring popularity of the older side proves that to many, “dive” is definitely a compliment.

For full satellite packages and bartenders who always know what channel they’re looking for, Sidelines in Arcata, Pacific Bar & Grill in Eureka and Timeout Sports Pub in Fortuna are the real deal. Your best bet next to sipping a beer at the Arcata Ball Park.

*Sandwiches can be ordered from neighboring Deo’s Sandwich Shop during select hours. †Food can be ordered from neighboring restaurant The Burger Joint.

Congratulations, you are extremely picky.

Stay at home. No one likes you.

no

sounds nice

Restaurant 301 offers ultra-high-end spirits in a comfortable setting, but you can’t beat $3.50 martinis and Manhattans during happy hour.

Humboldt weather is fickle, which makes for no greater pleasure than having a cold drink outside when you can. Enjoy partial afternoon clearing at Humboldt Bay Provisions, Mad River Brewing Co. or Six Rivers Brewery.

For a lovely view of Eureka’s waterfront, check out the bar at Cafe Marina, or people-watch from the parklet at Siren’s Song Tavern.
