I’ve talked before about how rarely I make it to downtown Boise for food, but I make it out to Nampa even less despite the fact that one of my favorite Treasure Valley Chinese restaurants and my all-time favorite taco truck are located there.  When I was just a wee lad though, we used to […]

This is a new one for me, but since I hit both locations of this chain in a relatively short time frame, I’m just going to do one write-up for both.  Towards the end of last year, Smashburger took out a full-page ad on the back of the main section of the Idaho Statesman.  It […]
