For a while there, I was really behind on my reviews.  I’m starting to get caught up now, but the places I’ve visited recently have had to go to the bottom of the stack while I wrote up restaurants that I visited weeks or even months before.  In one case, that backlog has allowed me […]

One thing I’m learning about eating in Nampa is that the further you get away from the historic downtown area, not a lot of attention is paid to how a business looks on the outside.  I have stepped across the thresholds of several eateries that were a little sketchy-looking, only to find myself in a […]

Well, since I’m starting to get backed up on Thai restaurants I need to review, I might as well get one of them out of the way.  Pad Thai House has become a favorite over the last several months, not just of mine but my roommate, my mother, my sister, my sister’s boyfriend, etc.  They […]

Believe it or not (and trust me, I’m having a hard time believing it at the moment), I’ve been doing this food blogging thing for just four months shy of four years.  Of all the people I’ve met while eating my way across the Valley and beyond, both good and bad, a handful have ended […]

So, a couple of days after my previous trip, I had occasion to be in Twin Falls again (don’t ask).  But given my previous good luck, this time I decided specifically to see what else Mountain Home might have to offer.When it comes to aggregate review sites for restaurants, I’ve always been partial to Urbanspoon, […]

I’ve loved Asian food for as long as I can remember.  As kids, while my siblings begged for McDonald’s for dinner, I usually asked to go to New China buffet.  I practiced over and over with disposable chopsticks, meticulously following the directions on the back of the packet to gain proficiency.  I had more late-night dinners […]

Damn I’ve been having a hard time motivating myself to write lately.  It’s just so much more difficult when the food is mediocre.  I mean how many ways are there to describe food that’s more or less “just okay”?  I’ve had these things piling up because I don’t want to bother writing about them, so […]

I never got a chance to write up the Osaka Grill in Meridian before they went the way of so many other independent restaurants over the last few years, and that’s really too bad because I was a fan.  Their stuff was a more oily, less healthy version of Asian grill food, but it was […]
