Seafood in the Treasure Valley is kind of hit and miss, which results in a lot of imported, previously frozen fish on local menus.  Now I love fish and chips and sushi as much as the next guy, but I love a good piece of simply prepared fish just as much.  So, when I heard […]

If you were to ask me why I’ve never written about Sakana before, I would have to say that’s a good question.  And I wish I had an answer.  I’ve been eating there longer than I’ve been doing this website.  I think sometimes it’s more difficult with a place you’ve been to many times, because […]

At the beginning of this month my employer moved our offices to Nampa, a place I haven’t spent any serious time in since I was a kid and Karcher Mall was the epitome of local shopping.  In preparation for the move, I started researching eateries within a small radius of the new office.  I already […]

I’ve not been looking forward to this, because I’m expecting some griping and a few insults.  Sigh.  Let’s just get it over with, eh?El Gallo Giro in Kuna is something of a local legend.  Every time the Statesman or the Weekly do one of their somewhat redundant annual polls, these guys always seem to come out […]

So, a couple of days after my previous trip, I had occasion to be in Twin Falls again (don’t ask).  But given my previous good luck, this time I decided specifically to see what else Mountain Home might have to offer.When it comes to aggregate review sites for restaurants, I’ve always been partial to Urbanspoon, […]
