Best of Food and Drink
Humboldt was a little late to the fresh ramen party. So, when word spread Susukino would be sliding into a spot in Northtown Arcata, we were ready to drop in like a marinated boiled egg. The fresh noodles, long-cooked pork and chicken broth and charred pork belly built a following, but the zangi appetizer — marinated and fried hunks of chicken in the style of the snowy northern island of Hokkaido — is edging it toward a cult.

What's Good: Ice Cream Sandwich Edition
I have had some good days playing hooky. An easy top-five entry is the afternoon I spent with a dear friend on a park bench facing the water, eating vanilla ice cream sandwiches, the wax wrappers moving gently in the breeze. In the last summers of the 1800s, some genius in New York City swapped the paper between which street vendors sold ice cream for cake and, later, cookies. To them, I lift my sticky fingers in salute. So rarely does innovation take such elegant form.

These Discontinued Regional Lagers Deserve a Comeback
Regional lagers are a cornerstone of American drinking culture. There’s Hamm’s, Utica Club, Natty Boh, Rainier, Pearl Beer — the list goes on and on. Much like craft beer, nearly every pocket of the country has a macro-style lager that locals enjoy with pride, embracing a slice of American pie that outsiders simply don’t have access to. The differences between them are subtle, but their light-bodied, easy-drinking, inoffensive profiles deliver a warm reminder of home. Even if these beers don’t sell like hot cakes, they maintain enough of a loyal following that their parent companies keep brewing them.

Humboldt Made Dishes on the New Arcata-Based Friday Night Market, Which in All Likelihood is Coming This September
Facebook commenters, please for God’s sake note: It will not compete with Eureka’s Friday Night Market, which ends in August. But if — and more likely, when — the Arcata City Council agrees to terms at its meeting this Wednesday, then the new Arcata Friday Night Market will be something close to fulfilling the original vision of the popular weekly festival.

Kokoro Ramen Opens with Comfort
A feathery betta fish painted by muralist Kyle Sanders drifts above the red door to Kokoro Ramen in Eureka's Old Town (409 Opera Alley). Owner Joe Tan, who can look down at it from nearby Rooftop, where he's behind the sushi counter most days, has been looking for a place to open a traditional Japanese ramen shop for the better part of a decade. Traditional, in this case, meaning focused on one specialty, rather than the array of Japanese offerings from ramen to sushi that has become standard in the U.S.
