Allow me to make something clear right from the start: I know pretty much nothing about Korean food. There wasn’t even a Korean eatery around here for the longest time, so the best you could do were things like the (admittedly awesome) fusion tacos at RiceWorks or highly questionable options like short ribs that occasionally show […]

Pizza Pie Cafe
onSo, buffets. A lot of snobby foodie types don’t dig them. Hell, a lot of people in general don’t dig them. I’m not saying it’s completely unjustified. One trip to Golden Corral could poison you against the idea forever. Still, I’m sure there’s a few truly good ones out there (I’ve heard good things about […]
Grant’s Neighborhood Grill
onSo a couple of posts ago I mentioned that two Meridian restaurants made the Statesman’s list of the best new restaurants of 2015. Last week, I visited the other one.Grant’s Neighborhood Grill has been open since June, but their website is still just a placeholder so I’ll include a link to their Facebook page. They […]
Mi Casa
onThere is probably no more widely and diversely represented ethnic cuisine in the Treasure Valley than Mexican. In many eateries, it’s as Americanized as Chinese food is. Others seem to have a mix of traditional and non-traditional items. Honestly, when I want Mexican nine times out of ten I’ll hit a taco truck because it’s […]
On the Road Again: South Beach Fish Market (Newport, OR)
onAlright, one last road post and then you’re safe for a bit. This isn’t really the road trip time of year, after all.After a somewhat disappointing hike around Cape Perpetua (Thor’s Well wasn’t being very impressive even at high tide, and the youngest member of our entourage tripped on a downhill trail and shredded both […]
Mount Everest Momo Café
onI loved Momo Dumplings. From the first time I tried them as an indie vendor at a little table at the Boise Urban Market back in October of 2011 until the day their Meridian restaurant closed in November 2014, they were a consistent favorite for me. I mourned the loss of that restaurant like I’ve […]
On the Road Again: Chalet Restaurant & Bakery (Newport, OR)
onOkay, one more road piece, then I’ll do a local. Miss Golden Rule’s b-day was turning out kind of bland. Dinner had been less special than expected, the weather wasn’t particularly conducive to hanging out at the beach, and we had no dessert plan locked down. I had made some unsuccessful inquiries, and it was […]
On the Road Again: Cafe Mundo (Newport, OR)
onOkay, I know I just did a road post and I promised to mix it up a bit, but right now my backlog of road posts is bigger so bear with me. So, after a brief exploration of Portland’s street food scene, we headed off to Newport, probably the closest thing Miss Golden Rule has […]
On the Road Again: PDX Street Food (Island Grill, The Whole Bowl, The Frying Scotsman)
onOkay, so I did a local post last time, now back to my most recent trip to Oregon. There’s been a lot of talk recently about Portland being the best food city in America. I don’t know about that because my own travels have been fairly limited, but it’s pretty damned good. It’s definitely the […]
