On June 19th of last year, I published my first review. Sometime in July, the first person who wasn’t a acquaintance or relative of mine read it. By the time July was over, I was up to thirteen reviews and a few random rants, and the site counter was sitting at an even 800. This was […]
June Urban Market
onHere’s the deal: I’m not explaining the Boise Urban Market again. If you’re interested in details, check out their website, Facebook page, or my previous write-ups. This time around, for me at least, was about revisiting favorite vendors more than it was about trying new things. So without further ado, let’s cover a few highlights.This […]
B29 Streatery (CLOSED)
onIt’s safe to say that I have something of an addictive personality. Not just because I smoked for fifteen years (half of my life until I quit at age 30) either. It manifests itself in all areas of my life. Every once in a while for example, a movie will come out that I’ll enjoy […]
Treats and Tragedies on the road: Wong’s King (Portland)
onIn less than two months, I will be 35 years old. Believe it or not, I was 33 before I took my first trip to Portland as an adult. One of the first things I did while deciding what I wanted to see and do while I was there was to try and determine who […]
Treats and Tragedies on the road: Burgerville (Albany, OR)
onRecently, it was announced that Boise will soon have a Chipotle of its very own. This news excited me to no end because, to be frank, I like Chipotle every bit as much as I do Baja Fresh. Shortly after, Michael Deeds took to Facebook to find out what other chain eateries we’d like to see […]
Treats and Tragedies on the road: Voodoo Doughnut (Portland)
onOne of the biggest issues I have with this little hobby of mine is self-control. Not the eating part…well, maybe that as well…but what I’m referring to here is my penchant for profanity and my sense of humor. It’s no stretch to say that I edit and revise each entry at least twice to make […]
Murphy’s Law is in effect.
onMy computer is doing some decidedly annoying stuff, so while I do have several write-ups to finish and post, I don’t have access to all of the tools I need (the pictures, namely). I’ll be attempting a fix by the end of the week, so keep your fingers crossed. I certainly will. In the meantime, […]
Archie’s Place
onOkie dokie kids, I’m going to do one more quick write-up before taking off to spend the weekend in Portland. I haven’t hopped on the smart phone bandwagon yet so I’m going to be largely incommunicado, except perhaps for random, stream of consciousness text posts to my Facebook page. Before I go foraging for exotic foodstuffs […]
Taste of Chicago
onThere are two great culinary battlefields where New York and Chicago have been duking it out for decades, with still no end in sight: who makes the best pizza, and who makes the best hot dogs. In the spirit of full disclosure, let me just say that I’m firmly on the NY side of the […]
