Ed and I dined together a couple of nights in Ukiah last week (Ed has blogged about the restaurants). He was in trial, I was taking depositions.
He defensed a medical marijuana trial – the first and probably the last in Mendocino County. The jury was out for all of an hour before coming back with a defense verdict.
As to the restaurants, Ed has yet to try an excellent Japanese place. Can’t think of the name, but it’s on one of the off streets a block or two south of the courthouse. Great atmosphere. Excellent food. I would probably rate it number one, although both Patrona’s and the Thai place on the main drag rate closely.
At Patrona’s I strongly recommend the Gorgonzola, walnuts, and fig pizza. And Ed is right about the wine choices.

Hey Eric, you mentioned that Ed defended his first and probably last medical Marijuana case in Mendo. Does that mean that Mendo is getting rid of medical marijuana or just that Ed won’t defend them anymore in Mendo?

I sure do miss the Fjord’s smorgasbord on the north end of Ukiah. Great family memories there.

hey – both Eric and Ed are going to want to read this article – “Cannabis ‘disrupts brain centre’” just out from the Beeb.
I’d be more tempted to dismiss it if it didn’t ring so true with my own teenage experience. Psychosis and paranoia, anyone?
8:47 — he means, I suspect, that in the wake of Ed’s victory, won’t nobody be bringing such prosecutions in Mendo again. Not with that kind of jury waiting.

I didn’t say “his,” I said “the.” Ed suspects this was a test water case.

The “great Japanese place” you’re referring to is probably Kyoto, at 320 F Street. The owners are George and (Kyoko?) I’ve only met her once; he’s the one who’s always in the front.
Great spot — our favorite in Eureka. I suggest calling ahead if you’re going, because they’re very often packed.

Cristina – we were in Ukiah.
Kyoto is very good however.

Correction: Kyoko is very good, George is a pain in the ass.
