Belgian style Benedict

Fat Elvis Waffles
Stephanie Izard knows puts together a great restaurant. The Girl and the Goat is hard to get into even now 2 years later and Little Goat had a 90 minute wait when we went last month. 90 minutes for diner food! That's impressive. Other things that...

You can eat other things at Loveless Cafe but if you don't try the flaky buttery biscuits, you're missing out. Carol Fay Ellison started at Loveless as a dishwasher in 1979. She graduated to the stove a few years later and reigned supreme as The...
Los Bagels in Arcata
As the name (and the picture) suggests, Los Bagels is a multicultural bagel bakery and cafe with a menu to match. They have thai bagels with peanut butter and green onions next to sushi bagels with lox and wasabi and if you're brave you can try...
