Anyone who’s seen my Facebook page knows that it exists primarily to promote my eatery write-ups, but I also try to pass along any food offers from the numerous daily deal sites.  If you haven’t been keeping an eye on these things, you’ve been missing out.  I’ll likely do a blog entry on them at some […]

Okay, this isn’t going to be a very typical review, but since I’ve been advised to write about it I guess I’ll do so.  It wasn’t intended to be a write-up though, so please forgive the lack of pictures.So Jimmy John’s is a pretty big chain, and when they first popped up in Meridian I heard conflicting reports […]

I tend to go through phases in my food cravings.  Lately the two big ones have been gyros (several more write-ups on the way soon) and fish.  Luckily, there’s a place in town where I can indulge not only a craving for fish but also my love of street food:  The Kilted Kod. The Kilted […]

I have no idea how long Yen Ching has been occupying the corner of 9th and Bannock in downtown Boise.  I know that it’s been there since at least the mid-90’s, but beyond that I couldn’t say.  Always one of the more interesting places in town, I rarely make it there because when I’m in […]

Though part of me rallies against admitting this, I love The Cheesecake Factory.  The only reason I don’t eat there more often is that I simply can’t afford to.  Those of you who read my Red Robin write-up might be surprised that I’m gushing about a place that is every bit as obviously a chain restaurant as Red […]

No, not the A Taste of Thai that makes the colorfully packaged canned and boxed foods that you can buy in pretty much every grocery store.  This A Taste of Thai is the latest link in a small chain based out of Twin Falls, and took over the space vacated by the Saigon Grill at […]

I’ve been writing this blog for about five months now.  As far as I know, these are the places I’ve written up that are now out of business:Chau’s Burgers and SandwichesEddie’s Wood Fired DogsGiacinto’s Italian GourmetKickin ChickenManila BayAnd when I last checked the Portuguese Barbecue Lunch Wagon, the place I did my first entry on, was […]

As I mentioned in my review of Great Harvest in Boise, they’ve changed their approach to sandwiches over the years.  In that regard, the Meridian location is a trip back in time.  If you prefer the sandwiches the way they used to make them, using the big round loaves of bread, or if you never […]
