California Burger Stand Opened in 1938 and Has Passed Through Just Three Families

In 1938, an 18-year-old started selling burgers beside a hiring hall where workers gathered for jobs building Shasta Dam. His stand had tree stumps for seats, and the thin patties he served would become a California tradition lasting nearly nine decades. I love the idea that a restaurant could begin...

If you came hoping for a breakfast stack, you will need to set your alarm differently, because this place opens its doors at 4 PM and spends the evening serving steaks that people drive hours to eat.

Redding Costco center adding steakhouse. 2nd El Pollo Loco? | The Buzz

Arguably the busiest shopping center in Redding, River Crossing Marketplace, home to Costco, is going to be getting a lot busier. Texas Roadhouse, a steakhouse with locations across California, is coming to the shopping center. Ken Miller, of Northstate Commercial Partners, said the company has signed a ground lease for the vacant lot between Chick-fil-A and the Costco gas station on the east side of the shopping center. “The tenant is going to build it (the restaurant),” Miller said. He did not have a construction timeline or the expected opening date. Miller said the Texas Roadhouse in Redding will be about 8,000 square feet and it will be a sit-down restaurant. Texas Roadhouse only serves dinner on weekdays and is open for lunch on weekends, according to its website. Each restaurant has a butcher and baker. “The butchers, or Meat Cutters, hand-cut each and every steak we serve. Our Meat Cutters work in 34-degree coolers and cut an average of $1 million of meat a year per store,” Texas Roadhouse’s media fact sheet says . The baker makes the restaurant’s yeast rolls from scratch every day. The rolls are served with cinnamon butter. The publicly traded company (TXRH) was established

Mount Shasta’s “Top Hat” Cloud Makes the 2026 Weather Photographer of the Year Shortlist

Anyone who has spent time in the shadow of Mount Shasta knows the mountain likes to put on a hat now and then, and this fall one of those hats is getting worldwide attention. “Mount Shasta Top Hat at Sunset,” a photo by Lisa K. Kuhn, made the shortlist for the 2026 Weather Photographer of the Year competition, an annual contest run by the Royal Meteorological Society that drew more than 5,500 entries this year. The image shows a smooth, stacked lenticular cloud glowing in the evening light above the 14,000-foot volcano, the saucer and pancake-stack shapes behind plenty of UFO talk over the years.

Young Redding chef prepares authentic BBQ at new family-run eatery

On one upcoming fall weekday, passersby on Placer Street in downtown Redding might catch the aroma of fresh barbecue and spot Angel Serna commanding the grill out on the sidewalk, whipping up fresh items he says are unique. The family-run Black Sheep Cafe opened on Oct. 17 inside Sizzle's Kitchen, a dedicated commercial cooking and dining space that has served as a meal preparation and launchpad site for up-and-coming foodie entrepreneurs for the past several years. Serna said the Black Sheep Cafe offers American food favorites including barbecue and, in a nod to his family's heritage, also specializes in Mexican cuisine. The barbecue attracted a good number of people on opening day, said Serna, who owns the business with his father, Joseph. "They saw the barbecue grill up, they smelled it, and they asked, 'are you guys open?' And we told them, 'Yeah, today's the grand opening' and we were attracting people all day," Serna said. The grilling style, using a Santa Maria grill and a combination of white and red oak wood, contributes to the meat's unique taste, he said. "Traditional grills have a grate that's fixed in place and you load wood or coals into the bottom. A

Redding hot-pot spot eyes opening date. Gaming's popularity | The Buzz

The historic Lim’s Café sign still towers above North Market Street, but not much else of the former Chinese restaurant is recognizable. Work on a new hot-pot restaurant there is progressing, and the owners hope to open in February or next spring. When I spoke to Haishan Chen, he told me there is still another four to six months of work. Chen will own and operate the new restaurant with his wife, Liyi Li. They also own Oriental Express, a popular restaurant in Shasta Lake that they bought in 2015. The couple’s new restaurant will be called 88 Hot Pot. Li told the Record Searchlight in 2025 the numeral 8 symbolizes luck in China, so they’re doubling their luck with their new culinary endeavor. A peak inside the former Lim’s building reveals a complete renovation of the restaurant. Essentially, the only thing left from the Lim’s era are the four walls. Lim’s Cafe closed in September 2022 after serving Chinese and American food for nearly 90 years at three Redding locations. Chen said everything inside will be brand new. The outside has been painted gray, and Chen said the trim will be accented with a different color. While the building
