All You Can Eat

Have a taste for something but can’t decide where you want to eat? Maybe you’ve been dying to try that new restaurant but you can’t remember where it’s located, or perhaps you just can’t keep up with the comings and goings of Chico eateries.

Whatever you’re craving, let All You Can Eat be your guide. Twice a year, the CN&R puts out this comprehensive listing of Chico restaurants. Have a look-see. Feel like Thai? We know the places. How about a cappuccino? Yep, we’ve got that covered, too. From the area’s fine dining to pub grub, you’ll find it all in these pages.

We can also tell you how much money you’re likely to spend with our handy dining symbols. And just so you don’t get confused, we’ve put a box next to every listing. Each time you try a new restaurant, give it a check mark. Be adventurous! Try new places. You know you want to.

If you’re up for even more adventure, check out our feature stories in which local foodies reveal their secrets. Folks at The Naked Lounge give the lowdown on what it takes to make a really good cup of coffee. For chocolate lovers, chef Craig Thomas of Red Tavern unveils one of his delicious, easy-to-make desserts. And for exotic-food lovers, learn to create your own sushi during classes at downtown’s Rawbar.

Whether you’re eating out on the town or cooking at home, bon appetit!
