So, at my gal’s request tonight I ran to McDonald’s to get McFlurrys…McFlurries? However you would spell the plural of McFlurry, I went to get some for us and the kids. They dig them, and while it’s not my kind of thing it did sound like a good way to combat all the salt and […]
Kickin Chickin – CLOSED
onPayday brings with it a slight replenishing of available funds for food and entertainment and, since dining out counts as both, I was looking to grab something for lunch. Then, trouble in paradise: my girlfriend was in meetings at work, and my sister had brought her lunch. With nobody available who understood my tendency to hijack […]
Lorena’s Mexican Grill
onIt’s unfortunate but true that I spent a large portion of my life thinking that I hated Mexican food. Like a lot of children, my experience was based on the offerings of places like Taco Bell, Taco Time, Taco John’s…you get the idea. I did (and still do) dig the crispy burritos at Taco Time, […]

Cleanin’ up our town…
onWhen it comes to restaurant information and user reviews, Urbanspoon rocks. They were one of the invaluable resources I used when planning my trip to Portland and looking for a good dim sum place. However, I don’t think there’s a lot of locals adding or updating listings for the Boise area. Many of the places […]
Chau’s Burgers & Sandwiches – CLOSED
onThe little building sitting at the corner of Goddard and Glenwood near Capital High has been a few restaurants over the years. Possibly even owned by the same people, since I know the phone number didn’t change this last time. I never bothered stopping there because it looks like a divey little diner, and there […]
The Idaho Statesman’s 2010 "Best of Treasure Valley"
onEvery year, The Idaho Statesman invites their readers to chime in on what they consider to be the best eateries, retailers, venues and recreation spots in the Treasure Valley. And every year I look forward to it, because I’m not such a snob that I believe the popular consensus holds no merit, especially when it […]

Click here to read about it.Boise Fry Company is one of those places that I’ve been hearing about forever but never went to because it’s downtown, and I hate downtown. I despise paid parking, loathe one way streets, and am flat-out […]
