Dad, family open Benton Airpark's new restaurant. Latest on The Shack
Willard Martin has been cooking for friends and family for many years. Working in heating and air conditioning, cooking was a hobby. But Martin in the back of his mind always wanted to own and operate a restaurant, and his inner circle would often encourage him to do so. “I wasn’t really looking for places to open a restaurant, this opportunity just popped up, and I was like, I’m just going to jump into it,” Martin recently told me. That opportunity came when his son, Junior Martin, who works at Benton Airpark and wants to be a commercial pilot, told him the airport’s operator was looking for a restaurant to replace The Golden Fang , which closed earlier this year. Enter Flight Deck Grill, which opened Dec. 1. Martin said Camden Air Services, the airport operator, wanted the name of the restaurant to be airport related. “We thought that (Flight Deck Grill) sounded cool,” Martin said. The restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. seven days week, but Martin expects the hours to change as he gets a better understanding of the busy and slow times. “So far we haven’t had any slow days,” he said.

’Tis the season for tamales at Redding bakery with huge secret menu
Victoria’s Bakery-Deli in Redding will be busy this time of year making tamales as well as baking its usual array of authentic Mexican pastries. Don't expect to see a menu at the store. The baker doesn't keep one, but the person at the counter can list off what, besides the baked goods, is coming out fresh from the kitchen that day. Tamales are especially popular for Christmas because they’re part of a Hispanic tradition that’s also embraced by many others for the holidays. “For a lot of people, it’s like (tamales) are their dish to have,” said Rolando Molina, the bakery and deli owner’s son. “It gets busy with the tamale orders,” he said. As an aside, part of the tamale custom is having family and friends gather together for a sort of kitchen camaraderie to make dozens of the delicacies. Tamale makers will prepare the corn dough called masa, add a simmered meat filling – often shredded chicken or pork – and then wrap it up in a corn husk or banana leaves before steaming. You might even call the often daylong process a bonding experience with a savory tamale as the reward. Of course, tamale lovers can skip

Hot noodle soup sings at new Redding restaurant showcasing Asian dishes
Dreamy-light cupcakes with distinctive flavors are just one of the specialities awaiting diners at Sweet Tooth by Myli. Along with sweet treats, the Redding restaurant located off Cypress Avenue offers a variety of Asian-inspired dishes that its owners say are unique in Redding and bring sentimental memories. "We basically grew up eating this type of flavor in the Asian community. So, it's very nostalgic to me," said the new restaurant's owner and first-time entrepreneur, Myli Vang. "It's something that we definitely want to share with the community and let everybody try these flavors that we've been having since we were kids." Her specialties run the gamut of Asian-inspired items including sponge cake, also called chiffon cake. Those cupcakes and cakes are made extra light and airy with batter that incorporates whipped egg whites and less sugar than what's typically found in traditional pastries, said Vang. She said the flavors of desserts in her shop are distinctive too, including lychee fruit, pandan and ube, which gets its taste from a purple yam. Her favorite cupcake is also the restaurant's best seller: pandan. "It has, like, this floral, vanilla, nutty flavor to it. The taste is just so different," she said, adding
