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
