Local real estate listings are offering a broad menu these days with a bevy of restaurants and food businesses up for sale. After its sudden closure early this year, Fernbridge’s Angelina Inn is available for $1.9 million and the up-and-running Gill’s by the Bay has a price tag of $2.5 million for the property and business.

He says sales for the large pan-Asian spot average $2,500 per day but the work is overwhelming with two other restaurants to run — Nori in Arcata and the newly reopened Overtime Pizza and Bar in Eureka — and for now, he says his plans for a rooftop sushi place in Eureka are on hold. “There’s long hours, there’s stress … everything is too expensive, ingredients and employee insurance,” he laments with a small laugh.
