Historic roadhouse restaurant reinvigorated by ambitious owner, two chefs and a pitmaster
is a local treasure with a storied history. The circa 1896 roadhouse above Los Gatos has been a stage stop, a speakeasy, a bordello, a realty, a sporting goods store and, since 1967, a restaurant and tavern.
The latest restaurant chapter is now unfolding along Highway 17. The Cats’ new owner is ChefCentury, a culinary venture launched during the pandemic by South Bay entrepreneur Richard Tam, who wanted to provide a lifeline to struggling chefs by supplying them with a fully equipped commissary kitchen where they cooked meals for delivery.The only thing missing was customer engagement, Tam said, and chefs thrive on that.
Adrian Pham, the chef-GM, combines in-depth barbecue knowledge from his home state, North Carolina, with a passion for Japanese cuisine. Chef Rafael Lim cut his culinary teeth in the Philippines and is also a fan of live-fire cooking. He has founded a company called Angry Cow Master Cuts that specializes in premium Wagyu beef . And professional pitmaster David Hunt adds his meat-smoking expertise to the mix.
Barbecue platters come with two sides , and sandwiches with one side. House-pickled veggies accompany all. Rounding out the menu are a Ribeye Steak with chimichurri butter , Lemon Pepper Salmon , Caesar and Farm Fresh Salads and bar bites and appetizers that include Brisket Chili , Chili Cheese Fries , Roasted Root Vegetables and Chicken Wings with mango-habanero or barbecue sauce . A few comforting desserts like Banana Walnut Pie and Peach Biscoff Crumble are offered.The refurbished bar at The Cats restaurant along Highway 17 in Los Gatos. Naturally, The Cats bar is still front and center.
