If you follow the local street food scene at all, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about West Coast Weiner Company. Proprietor Mike Grim recently made the move here from Spokane and started working the social networking scene pretty quickly. I was lured by posts about big coils of Italian sausage and meatball sandwiches on […]

Evil Genius Food (a Food Truck Rally follow-up)
onJust wanted to get a little deeper into a few of the more interesting things I’ve eaten lately, and the Food Truck Rally is a good place to start…Pied du Cochon “Hot Dog” from B29 StreateryThe Pied du Cochon “Hot Dog” from the lunatics at B29 Streatery is definitely the craziest thing I’ve eaten recently. According […]
Bob’s Texas BBQ
onYes, another barbecue post. Why? Because I love barbecue, and it’s my website! Plus, Summer is drawing to a close, so why not?Bob’s Texas BBQ is a respectable-sized shack located on the corner of State Street and Gardener Lane in Boise (or Garden City, depending on who you ask). I drive by the shack on my […]
Care for a few amuse-bouches?
onHere’s some random food stuff that is interesting me at the moment…1) There’s another, bigger food truck rally going on this Thursday (September 1st) downtown at 4th and Grove. The festivities will be from 5-9 PM. Unfortunately, I’m probably not going to be able to make it myself, but that doesn’t excuse the rest of […]
The Great 2011 Dining Slump Round-Up
onDamn 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 […]
Brown Shuga Soul Food
onIn the Spring, a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. That’s what Tennyson said anyway. To be frank, I don’t have the best track record with love, and I’m not so sure I qualify as a young man any longer. It doesn’t really matter I guess, since we didn’t really HAVE a […]
RiceWorks
onA couple of weeks ago, the B29 Streatery truck was parked across from WDS Global near the corner of Golden Trout and Kimball in Boise. I decided to hit them up for lunch, and while I was there I noticed another truck parked a short distance down the block. While the Streatery was putting my order […]
You CAN go home again, but somebody else is probably living there now…
onOn June 19th of last year, I published my first review. Sometime in July, the first person who wasn’t a acquaintance or relative of mine read it. By the time July was over, I was up to thirteen reviews and a few random rants, and the site counter was sitting at an even 800. This was […]
B29 Streatery (CLOSED)
onIt’s safe to say that I have something of an addictive personality. Not just because I smoked for fifteen years (half of my life until I quit at age 30) either. It manifests itself in all areas of my life. Every once in a while for example, a movie will come out that I’ll enjoy […]
