Fanci Freez…what is there to say?  If you grew up in this area, as I did, you’re probably familiar with them.  Hell, I’ve been going there since I was a kid.  In my opinion, they are hands-down the best drive-in fast food eatery in town.  Not for their hot food per se, but the desserts…I’ve […]

Okay, so I know my last review was of a brewpub as well.  Sue me.  The roommate and I hit two pretty much back-to-back.  Crooked Fence Brewing Co.’s Barrelhouse is a little closer to home and with plenty of parking, so that made it a little easier for us to make it to.The Barrelhouse is […]

I’m sure a lot of you have had the experience of hearing about a place over and over again for years, but for whatever reason have never gotten around to actually trying it.  Even though I’ve spent the majority of my life in the Boise area, there are still a lot of old restaurants I […]

One thing I’ve learned in the time I’ve been doing this is that some places are, for lack of a better word, institutions.  These establishments have fiercely loyal fanbases, including individuals who will resort to base insults and nonsensical rants should you speak ill of their darlings.  Normally, I don’t like to give a lot […]
