English Pea Soup at Chalkboard Bistro in Healdsburg ©heather irwin
It’s not secret I’m a huge fan of Chalkboard, which opened in the former Cyrus space in Healdsburg in may. But there’s even more to love now that they’ve expanded their service to include lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning at 11:30am and continuing throughout the afternoon (making it a perfect spot for a leisurely late repast). The full menu is available, including the popular Dungeness crab tater tots, buttermilk fried quail and swoon-worthy Candy Bar, with brownie, caramel and nougat ice cream. 29 North St. at Healdsburg Ave., Healdsburg, 707-473-8030.
