here’s oNe thING CoNstaNt IN the restauraNt WorlD: ChaNGe.

menus change; restaurants come and go. It can be hard to keep track. that’s why we put out a new Menu of Menus every year. so what’s new? for those who love barbecue, Shamus T bones in Carlotta became a destination restaurant in recent years. By the time you read this, former-buildingcontractor-turned-BBQ-chef Chris Barry will have opened his dream restaurant in a brand spanking new rustic-meets-Craftsman building on the waterfront (behind the Best Western Plus Bayshore Inn) with lots of room and an expansive view of humboldt Bay. expect the same texas-style barbecue menu, heaven for carnivores, but with more choices on the seafood side, including a full oyster bar, as well as new options for vegetarians. In case you were wondering, yes, the awesome collection of mounted trophy heads made the move. Before ramone’s established itself as one of humboldt’s premier bakeries, it was an old town restaurant known as ramone’s at Night. Berit meyer was among the staff (she’s also a founding owner). she now oversees bakeries in five locations with her husband, Brian ferguson. their production bakery near st. Joseph’s hospital recently took over the neighborhood grocery next door, Duck’s market, to become ramone’s harrison bakery & Café. the well-appointed space offers their usual bakery fare along with a breakfast menu with egg dishes, french toast and the like, with pizza, panini, soups and salads for lunch along with daily specials. there’s also a carefully selected wine list, beer on tap and a rotating dinner menu served until 7 p.m. most weekdays, until 9 fridays and saturdays — which means it’s continued on next page

once again Ramone’s at night — if not by name, by schedule. Despite its off-the-beaten-path Eureka location, there’s often a wait for a table at hot spot Brick and Fire Bistro. Not to worry, simply head a couple of doors down F Street to their satellite, Two Doors Down. The cozy wine bar took over the space that once housed World Café. Wait for your table at Brick and Fire and have an appetizer, fondue or a cheese board while you sip a glass of wine. Or have a light meal there. Choose from soups and salads and finish with dessert.

When our last Menu of Menus came out we were still waiting for Luke Patterson of Luke’s Joint to open his dinner-house, The Other Place, on K Street in Arcata. It was worth the wait for what is arguably the most innovative menu in the county. Luke calls the food “French-American,” but that’s too limiting for the range of influences in play. Those curious about how they do it, and what goes on in a cutting-edge kitchen, are invited to try something new. Just reserve “The Kitchen Table,” a counter with seating for three right in the restaurant’s kitchen. It’s been a couple of years since Avalon

the speCials board aNd a Case of deleCtable sweets at ramoNe’s harrisoN bakery & CafÉ photos by drew hylaNd

expanded to arcata with Bizou, a second location offering what was basically the avalon menu. after spending part of 2011 on hiatus, the space in the safeway shopping center is reopening as a casual burger joint, bizou burger. the new menu includes variations on the classic burger using local grassfed beef, plus BBQ ribs, pulled pork, Buffalo wings and chicken Caesar salad, always with that avalon twist. Vegetarian and glutenfree options? of course. When the Journal asked readers to choose their favorite pizza last year, Paul’s live from new York took home the award. at the time the pizza place was working on a new location on the corner of 7th and f streets near the eureka theater. the big,

roomy space is now up and running, turning out the same high quality New York-style pizzas you’ll find in mcKinleyville. Z & J asian Subs opened a couple of years ago in the steel-clad building near target that once offered drive-through coffee. Z & J’s limited menu — mainly tasty sub sandwiches and a generous asian chicken salad – earned them enough followers to warrant expansion. Now they’ve taken over the almost-new Quizno’s on 5th, offering the original menu plus: Dinner specials rotate night to night (hickory-smoked prime rib on fridays). there’s also an array of exotic snacks, soft drinks and juices — and tables so you can sit and eat. the space on the corner of 5th and G continued on next page

streets in Eureka has been trial home to a series of restaurants offering everything from Philly cheese steak sandwiches to Indian food. Next up: Sopai’s Place, a Southeast Asian sandwich/pizza joint operated by Sopai Chum, who comes from the same family that runs Don’s Donuts in Arcata. You may not notice much of a change, but longtime Northtown Arcata favorite Folie Douce has a new owner, Chris Hollen, who has been a server there for years. One new addition: something she calls “Sweet Sunday Madness” the second Sunday of each month, with appetizers based around local ingredients (Cypress Grove chevre, for example) paired with appropriate regional wines.

As 2011 came to an end, longtime Old Town fave Hurricane Kate’s called it quits and baked its last wood-fired pizza. Now Alex Moore from The Pearl (right next door) is taking over. A new name was in order (the original Hurricane Kate left town years ago). He’s going with the address: Five Eleven. Moore has big plans: He’s already enlisted Dave Griswold from the original Kate’s crew as head chef – he’s working on a menu along locavore Northern Pacific cuisine lines. Interior changes include moving the bar to the other side of the room and building a stage in the back for live music. The industrious Moore projects a July opening. He will definitely have a very busy 2012: He

also recently took over The Yellow Rose, a bar and grill in Petrolia (the only one in the Mattole Valley) and is rebuilding that from the ground up with plans to reopen in June. Also due for resurrection: The Ritz. The Old Town bar and restaurant has been empty since Zhuo Zhao Ellis merged her Italian restaurant, Cin Cin, and her sushi/ teppanyaki operation as the Bayfront Restaurant on the waterfront. Now her Bayfront partner, Jack Wu, is moving into the space she left behind, turning it into a Thai/ French restaurant, presumably named The Ritz. (Why would anyone want to change that classic neon signage?) Kurt Kramer and company are almost done refurbishing the earthquake-damaged Healy Brothers Building, better known as the former Old Town Bar and Grill. That restaurant/bar/nightclub is not returning, however, there’s a ground floor tenant with plans for a pub called The Siren’s Song Tavern. Phyllis Barba from the Accident Gallery and her partner Nathan Swenson, a lecturer at HSU, are figuring on opening the tavern some time this summer with a small menu including cheese, bread, fruit, olives and the like, all aimed at pairing with beer. The main emphasis will be on microbrews and small production craft beers, local and imported, bottled and on tap. Barba figures they’ll have around a hundred different beers — that’s right, 100 bottles of beer on the wall. Also offering a wide array of microbrews, exotic and otherwise, The Local, an offshoot of Blondie’s in Arcata that recently

opened on F in Eureka where Obento Sushi used to be, downstairs in the Professional Building. It follows close on the heels of The Speakeasy, a new, intimate full-service bar on Opera Alley in Old Town. Babetta’s, the Italian restaurant and café on Myrtle closed up shop recently. As we go to press they’re in the process of moving to a new location in Victoria Place by the Bayshore Mall (3220 S. Broadway, Suite 8). The plan is to open by mid-May with pastries and espresso, then take it from there. The old Waterwheel Restaurant in Garberville has been reborn as Sequoia Steak and Pub serving lunch and dinner six days a week. As you can guess from the name, it’s primarily a steak house, although plans are afoot for seasonal seafood, and they already have the requisite vegetarian options and salad bar, which, says owner Pat Bilandzijah, will always be organic and GMOfree as possible. Does that sound like a lot of new places to explore? We assure, before the year is over, there will be more. l

Six Rivers Classic Spicy Wings Hot Wing Richter Scale Rating: 5/10 A classic here at the brewery. The perfect amount of spice, coupled with celery sticks and Blue Cheese dressing. Extra water anyone?

Bergeron is a family owned winery, driven by passion and a desire to express a pure translation of grape to bottle. We believe that “Wine is bottled poetry.” Bergeron uses grapes grown from high elevation mountain vineyards in rocky red clay soil containing layers of volcanic ash and lava. Soil and climate add richness and complexity with intense flavors to the wine. Current Release: 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, “Monk Red” “Vineyard Select” and “Private Reserve”

Bergeron Wines are available at the following locations: (selections may vary)
