I have mentioned in previous entries that the torta is my favorite Mexican food item. I’ve said that the best tortas I know of come from a taco truck in Nampa. However, those of you who have read my Wheelers review may remember that I have also said I almost never make it out to Nampa […]
Zen Bento (Eagle)
onThis may be one of my most comprehensive review to date. The two adults in this household have become very fond of Zen Bento lately. Over the course of six days we visited them three times, and I’ve had the opportunity to try five different items. No hilarious anecdotes or anything to relate though, so this should […]
Smoky Mountain Pizza & Pasta (Eagle)
onIf there’s one thing that I know about food, it’s that pretty much everybody loves Italian. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that everyone loves food with Italian roots. Even the pickiest of kids I’ve known still adore pizza and spaghetti, but those dishes have come a long way from where they started, and […]
T.G.I. Friday the 13th (sorry, couldn’t resist)
onIf you’ve been reading this blog for a while, my unabashed love of Anthony Bourdain should be obvious. However, just because I think he’s super-cool and I envy the hell out of his job, it doesn’t mean I agree with everything he says. One of the things we don’t see eye to eye on is […]
New York Richie’s (grand opening)
onI’ve been pimping New York Richie’s pretty hard lately, and there’s a reason for it. I love the place, or at least I loved their La Grande location. You see, almost five years ago at the ripe old age of 30 (oh, it was all in front of me then!) I had a kind of […]
Ram Restaurant & Brewery (Meridian)
onI honestly cannot think of a single adult I know who hasn’t visited one of the two Treasure Valley Ram locations. Personally, I’ve never been to the one in Boise, but I have made it to the Meridian branch at Pine and Eagle Roads on several occasions. In fact, it’s where I met the woman […]
Nick-N-Willy’s Pizza – CLOSED
onIf you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that I’ve recently moved. And as I’m sure most people with kids in tow do, one of the first things I did was check into the available pizza options in the area. There is, of course, a Domino’s nearby, but as I said we’re talking about pizza here. […]
A little Boise Urban Market follow-up
onIn my Spring Fling entry, I said that I would do a follow-up post when I finally got around to cooking the frozen lumpia from JJ’s, but before I get into that I need to quickly address something else. In that same entry, I mentioned that my roommate started off her evening by chowing down […]
Ling and Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill
onFrom the day I drove by the building being erected in the constantly evolving area just South of the Eagle and Franklin Roads intersection with the sign saying “Ling and Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill / Rice To Meet You”, I was intrigued.No, it wasn’t the punny tag line that got to me, it was […]
