Or what about canned Fish Assholes?

Can I find White Castles in the little bag in one of the grocery stores? :-)

kbarton10: I think I’ve been there. Don’t they keep the jerky next to the condoms? Same three varieties, as I recall.

This could quickly degenerate into an Ammarati’s burrito versus slaw dog debate.

The real culinary jewel of Dunsmuir, TC won’t let me talk about … Just this once, as it’s SMJ asking – I’ll “drop dime”..

The Chevron Mini Mart just below the Alpine is a magnet for fine dining. They have three kinds of Teriyaki Beef Jerky; sealed, room temperature, and dusty. I stock up everytime I’m in the area.

Thanks Tom. I’ll hit those first. I’m sure they carry most of what I’ll need. Anything I can’t find in Dunsmuir I’ll look for in Mt. Shasta.

KJE: I try very hard to avoid conflicts of interest here (providing favorable editorial coverage in return for freebies — which almost never happens outside of books); I’ve got no stake in this home rental, and think it’s a cool place.

SMJ: I’ve gotta get my “Fishing & Eating in Dunsmuir” series up and running. There’s just so damned little time.

Dunsmuir only has two groceries (USA & Alpine). The Alpine is a little more upscale, and it’s on the main drag north of the Freeway overpass. As for bakeries, you’re somewhat SOL. The old Gandy Dancer made the best baked goods, and rumor has it the same chef is opening a new place near the Ted Fay Fly Shop.

The “blatant commercial plug” is much appreciated.

I looked at this place for my June trip, but it’s too small for my group.

Can you recommend a good grocery store or stores, and a good bakery?

Great idea, and done in a non-spammy way. For someone not familiar with the Dunsmuir/Shasta area renting a place for the weekend could be a crapshoot.
