As much as I bitch about the lack of certain authentic foodstuffs around these parts, I’m also a big sucker for novelty. Show me a bizarre new Oreo flavor or this year’s selection of limited-time chips from Lay’s, and I pretty much have to try them. Yeah, they suck 90% of the time, but it’s […]
If I wanted it to, and I admit that part of me does, this could be the shortest review I’ve ever written. It would consist of two words, and go a little something like this: Expectation Reality But yeah, that’s kind of cheap. I’ll elaborate a bit. So Bruchi’s is a place that straddles that […]
This is going to be the most confusing write-up I’ve ever done. First of all, I’m not even sure what the hell this place is called. Let’s start at the beginning I guess? Kanak Attack has been in the catering (I’m not going to use their spelling of “katering”, deal with it) game for nearly […]
Once upon a time, several years ago, I was planning my first trip to Salt Lake City since I was a kid. While researching eateries, I came across a Yelp listing for a Korean BBQ truck called Cupbop. I didn’t manage to check it out on that trip, or the many subsequent trips that followed. […]
I love seafood. Have for as long as I can remember. As soon as I outgrew the Happy Meals at McDonald’s, I moved straight on to the Filet-O-Fish. When I started paying my own way at Chinese restaurants, I quickly moved on from pork fried rice to the more expensive shrimp variety. When I finally […]
So, I’m sure a lot of you are surprised that I haven’t written about Ramen Sho yet, especially considering that I’ve been such a repetitive complainer about the lack of ramen options in the City of Trees and its surrounding areas. I have gone there (twice now), and I’ve been ruminating over how to approach […]
Allow me to make something clear right from the start: I know pretty much nothing about Korean food. There wasn’t even a Korean eatery around here for the longest time, so the best you could do were things like the (admittedly awesome) fusion tacos at RiceWorks or highly questionable options like short ribs that occasionally show […]
So a couple of posts ago I mentioned that two Meridian restaurants made the Statesman’s list of the best new restaurants of 2015. Last week, I visited the other one.Grant’s Neighborhood Grill has been open since June, but their website is still just a placeholder so I’ll include a link to their Facebook page. They […]
There is probably no more widely and diversely represented ethnic cuisine in the Treasure Valley than Mexican. In many eateries, it’s as Americanized as Chinese food is. Others seem to have a mix of traditional and non-traditional items. Honestly, when I want Mexican nine times out of ten I’ll hit a taco truck because it’s […]
