Those of you who follow “foodie” news may be aware of the fact that cases of chefs and restaurant owners taking legal action against bloggers are on the rise.  Currently this is mostly happening in other countries, but how long can it really be before it catches on here?  When I first started out, there […]

Friends and readers, I feel I need to come clean about something here, something that I’ve never really kept hidden, but which may not have been stated clearly enough: I am a meat lover.  Voracious, unrepentant and insatiable.  This is not to say that I don’t love fruit and veggies, but if the world was […]

MoMo Dumplings may be celebrating their grand opening on Saturday, July 14th, but they’ve been doing pretty steady business since their soft opening on the 6th.  I’ll just admit now that I’m not unbiased when it comes to this place.  I first met the MoMo crew at last October’s Boise Urban Market, and over the months between […]

One thing I’ve learned in the time I’ve been doing this is that some places are, for lack of a better word, institutions.  These establishments have fiercely loyal fanbases, including individuals who will resort to base insults and nonsensical rants should you speak ill of their darlings.  Normally, I don’t like to give a lot […]

My roommate has lived in Eagle most of her life, and the one thing she complains about over and over in regards to my site is the fact that I’ve done very few reviews of Eagle eateries.  In particular, she’s been fixating on The Blue Moose Café for a while now, despite the fact that […]

If you follow the local street food scene at all, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about West Coast Weiner Company.  Proprietor Mike Grim recently made the move here from Spokane and started working the social networking scene pretty quickly.  I was lured by posts about big coils of Italian sausage and meatball sandwiches on […]

What follows is a long-winded diatribe regarding a couple of responses to what I do (or do not do) on here.  It is not a review of an eatery or a dish.  You’ve been warned.  Click below if you’re so inclined.It’s been far too long since I’ve gone on one of my angry rants, which I […]
