If memory serves, though it probably will less often as the years continue to pass, P.F. Chang’s opened their branch in downtown Boise back in 2005.  Just a quick aside: I don’t call it “Bodo”.  And I’m not going to.  Ever.  Anyway, like all new places, especially nationwide chains, it was a madhouse when the doors […]

Tucanos is another one of those places I’ve wanted to visit for a while now but have never gotten around to (I know, it’s the story of my life).  When it comes to meat, I have a girlfriend who basically only eats poultry and a sister who only eats poultry and seafood, so whether at […]

A breakfast burrito, if done well, is a beautiful thing.  I love breakfast food anyway, and if you can pack it into a portable form where I get a little of everything in each bite, I’m a happy guy.  I work in a somewhat large office, and there seems to be a little debate over […]

For the two or three locals who haven’t heard, Boise’s Vietnamese Restaurant was completely gutted by a fire last week.  For those of you who aren’t local, Boise does have more than one Vietnamese restaurant, that was just the name of the place; they opened decades ago and were the only one in town back […]

I actually visited Red Robin several weeks ago, and while it’s true that I’ve been somewhat remiss in my posting lately, in this case there’s a little more to the delay.  Red Robin is one of those restaurants that gives incentives for signing up for their e-mail list, and a few weeks before my most recent […]

Well, I hate to say it, but due to a somewhat ill-advised (albeit in retrospect and entirely contextual) stop at The Egg Factory for breakfast, not as much munching took place at the Western Idaho Fair as I was expecting.  The heat and Sun didn’t help either.  I didn’t eat thisThe ladies had pizza from […]

Just in case you weren’t aware, The Melting Pot is open again as of November 2010!This is another long one, so I hope you’ve set aside some time.  I apologize for the quality of the pictures, but trying to get pics on a camera phone in far from ideal lighting conditions is not easy.My girlfriend […]
