Downtown Redding gets a restaurant it turned away 25 years ago. Tap house opening
Times have changed in downtown Redding. The former Downtown Grounds coffee shop at Market Street and Eureka Way is being redeveloped into a Domino’s Pizza. According to the city's building department, the location will cater to delivery and take-out customers only. No sit-down dining. Nearly 25 years ago, the Redding Planning Commission unanimously rejected plans for a Domino’s Pizza on a then vacant lot at Shasta and Market streets, across from Old City Hall. Eventually, that lot was redeveloped into the Gateway Building, which houses Kobe Seafood & Steakhouse on the ground floor and apartments on the second floor. Back in November 2002, the city wanted no part of the one-story, 4,875-square-foot building that would have housed the national pizza chain and adjoining cafe. Commissioners said the project did not meet the urban, high-density and pedestrian-friendly downtown the city envisioned, according to the Record Searchlight story. The Domino’s proposal was the first project to come before the planning commission since the new Downtown Redding Specific Plan was enacted a year earlier. Then planning commission Chair Gray Brickwood summed up the proposal “as a square peg in a round hole,” former R-S reporter Scott Mobley wrote in his story. “We have

Norma Jean’s Family Restaurant has that cozy, country feel, like 'Bowman Road Cheers'
Norma Jean’s Family Restaurant in Cottonwood may be off the beaten path, but it has a loyal following of customers who crave its house-smoked sandwiches, handmade burgers and creamy soups. Home cooking is the best way to describe the meals. “Comfort food is really a good way of putting it,” said main cook Michael Goldsberry. “We’ve got quite a variety on the menu and it changes seasonally. We do salads through the summer and we do soups through the winter.” The eatery on the Tehama County side of Bowman Road is the kind of place that when regulars come through the door, the cook already knows what they want before they take a seat. “I’ll just start their order because I know what they’re going to get because they never change,” Goldsberry said. It’s also a place where out-of-towners will drive out of their way to enjoy a meal based on complimentary online reviews. Owners Lynna Gott, her brother Johnny Gott and Goldsberry say it doesn’t take long for customers to be treated like family. “It’s kind of like Bowman Road Cheers really,” Goldsberry said. “That’s kind of what we are.” Local residents who come in and don’t know one

The Buzz: Redding restaurant closes, another one opens. New hotel arrives in California
Five months after taking over the former Moonstone Bistro space on Redding’s west side, Honeymoon’s Kitchen has closed. In a note to customers that is on the front door, owners Kate and Joe Wood state that the closure is temporary as they rethink the business model. “We fell short and we are looking forward to pivoting into the establishment the West side of Redding desires. Ambiance, menu, service style all need a fresh start and we are going to take the necessary time to make that happen,” the message reads. Does that mean rebranding the restaurant and returning it to the upscale dining experience it replaced after Moonstone closed a year ago ? When Honeymoon’s Kitchen opened last April , Kate Wood said the atmosphere would be more casual than Moonstone offered. She called it Southern comfort food at “at an elevated level. Our goal is to still do barbecue, French Cajun cuisine and bring some high-end proteins in here,” she said at the time. I sent a phone text message to Kate Wood on Tuesday, Sept. 16, for more details. She replied that it’s been a difficult time but that she would very much like to do a story.

Fat Shasta Lake Rainbow Trout are on the Menu
The September feasting continues. Shasta is pumping out limits of fat, hard fighting, great eating Rainbow Trout. The past few days (and all summer) have provided steady trolling action for Rainbow Trout in the 2 to 5 pound class. The closer these fish get to fall spawning time, the more they eat, amd the fatter they get. In September, we historically see football size Trout. This fish have been feasting on shad all summer and there bellies are stuffed, making them look like footballs. This healthy diet of fish makes these Shasta Lake trout some of the best tasting table fair around.

'Get your food, come on over.' Cider bar opening in Redding bets on proximity to eateries
Alan Colwell and his girlfriend and business partner Hailey Friesner want to bring something to downtown Redding that they think is underserved. That’s why the North State natives are in the process of opening Logic Ciderbar & Alehouse in the former Cask & Cleaver (which has moved to Tehama Street) and before that Downtown Java space at 1534 Market St. They hope to open in December. Colwell, who graduated from Foothill High School in 2012, said the couple enjoys “mini vacations” where they travel around far Northern California and Oregon taking in the local brewery scene. “Everywhere we go we would try to find a brewery and try to make a stop there. Her big thing is always do they have cider?” Colwell said of Friesner. Colwell said many of the breweries they would go to would have great beers on tap but not a huge variety of ciders. But earlier this year, they visited the North Coast and went to The Local Cider Bar in Arcata. The visit made an impression, so much so they walked away with the ambition of opening something similar in Redding. “They had, I think, geez, 12 ciders on tap and like four beers,”
