Edit 2019: Alas, Trinideli is no more. The New York lives on, however.

Our journey to Trinideli actually began in the New York Saloon
(Tether your horse in the rear, it says).

But when we got hungry, it turns out they don’t serve food at the New York. The pizza place next door is closed for renovations. Guy at the other end of the bar suggests Trinideli, just around the corner.

It’s actually on Highway 3, but really close to Main Street.
The homey interior lends a welcoming vibe.

Anchor Steam on tap. Hot Pastrami on rye. Oh yeah, that works. True deli style.

“#1 Sandwich in the Northstate,” a bold claim. I suggest it’s worthwhile for you stop in and decide for yourself. They offer over 40 custom-made sandwiches, salads and soups from scratch, meat & cheeses by the pound, and weekly specials. Dine in/Take Out. Check out their menus online at the Trinideli website. Located in Downtown Weaverville , One block up from the movie theatre, on Hwy. 3, next door to Alp’s Lock & Key Army Surplus. 201 Hwy. 3 & Center St. (530) 623-5856 Monday through Friday 6:30 am to 4:00 pm, Saturdays 10 am to 3 pm, Closed Sunday.

Now celebrating nearly 21 years in business, and the owner would like to retire, if you or anyone you know would like to run a deli in picturesque Weaverville.

We just happened to be at lunch with a few friends at Shameless O’Leery’s Irish Pub today, and as it happened, today is St Patrick’s day! Luck of the Irish, I’d say.




Here’s a brief video of the pipe and drum band as it came through. It will lift your spirits.

A fine time was had by all. Their food is terrific too. Shameless O’Leery’s has a well designed website at the link. But you don’t really need a website for this, do you? Just go.

This is one of the most remarkable pubs in ReallyRedding.

Monday — Wednesday 11am — Close

JJ’s is located in the Hat Creek region on Highway 89 at Old Station.

It’s a cozy, country style cafe, popular with locals and tourists alike. And there’s a patio out back too. Regardless of the weather, JJ’s has accommodation for everyone. Their spacious setting, and their efficiently-worked kitchen that has the best refrigeration options (check out this refrigeration company for more information) allows them to prepare the best food for all of the customers who pass through here daily. Something as small as this could have an effect on how successful a restaurant can be in the long run. As it has a patio, it’s already one step there.

Their meat comes from Hat Creek Grown in the Hat Creek area. From the JJ’s Cafe website:

Home-style Goodness, and lots of it!

At JJ’s, we bake our own breads, pastries, pies, cookies, and more. We cure our own corned beef and smoke our own pastrami and pulled pork. Our burgers are made from a 1/2 lb of locally-grown, grass-fed Black Angus and served on a fresh-baked bun. Most people would look to restaurant consulting companies to help them set up and run, but in this case we pushed on without this and made our own little cozy place.

Come on up and join us. You won’t go away hungry!

Below, a triangle peg game at every table on which to test your IQ. My score was predictably low, so the lovely Karry enjoyed showing me up.

The Hat Creek highlands are as lovely a spot as you can find on this planet. The journey to JJ’s from Redding is as important as the destination. Hat Creek is world famous for amazing fly fishing, and the scenic wonder of its lava rock lined journey from volcanic heights to the sea. Savor the skies, mountains, and trees, and then on to JJ’s for a special meal.

We see the owners Chuck and Anne Woodman are mentioned in the newspaper today as planning on opening a restaurant in downtown Redding. But why wait? JJ’s is open now. Seasonal hours posted on the JJ’s website. JJ’s Cafe 13385 Hwy 89 Old Station, CA 530-335-7225
