For truly amazing comfort-food meals and uniquely California snack foods, visit Ikedas's California Country Market (530) 885-4243. For decades, I learned today, I've been misprouncing this name. While I had always pronounced the name "eye key da's" , it is prounced "ee keda's". My source, Dustin Ikeda, ought to know. Dustin is the nephew of the original owners, that opened Ikeda's, in 1970, as a fruitstand. Now a restaurant and grocery store, Ikeda's even offers on-line gourmet gift basket orders. By the way, Dustin's favorite item from the restaurant at Ikeda's is a big burger from the "Famous Burger Bar". From the grocery section, his favorite is the "Marionberry Cobler".
