Pocatello Mexican restaurant to open second location in Blackfoot
BLACKFOOT — Popular Mexican restaurant Cielito Lindo is set to open its second location in Blackfoot later this year. Eric Gutierrez, owner of Cielito Lindo, said the Blackfoot location will be at 257 S. Broadway St. He hopes the restaurant will open at some point in September. “We’re still waiting on the licenses,” Gutierrez said. “We don’t have a set date, but we are decorating and putting things together. It looks beautiful.” Gutierrez said his goal was to open a location in Idaho Falls, but that didn’t work out. A friend reached out to him and suggested he expand to Blackfoot. This friend, Raul Cardenas, is going to be a co-owner on the new location. “The place has everything,” Gutierrez said. “I took the decision and thought this is probably a pit stop to Idaho Falls.” Gutierrez still hopes to open a Cielito Lindo in Idaho Falls eventually. He hopes to build locations throughout Idaho and Utah so he can provide quality Mexican food to people from all over the region. “We just need to settle in with this one and build a good clientele,” Gutierrez said. Gutierrez looks forward to providing the people of Blackfoot with the same dining

Finally, someone talked us into making it and selling it,” said Chase McBurney, owner of Twisted Tater. What really makes the dish, McBurney said, is the pappy’s buttermilk syrup. “We make it fresh every morning. The base ...

Fresh peaches, chopped the day before and soaked in passion fruit juice, are piled on top, followe...

Driggs cafe thrust into spotlight after confrontation with anti-abortion activists
DRIGGS (Idaho Statesman) — Jim Sheehan, the owner of a coffee shop in Driggs, has found himself at the center of a firestorm over access to abortion in Idaho.

One Of Idaho’s Best Brisket Sandwiches Is Hiding Inside This 3,500-Square-Foot Barbecue Joint
Some sandwiches ask for a napkin. This one may require an emotional support system. In eastern Idaho, brisket spends a full twelve hours in the smoker before anybody is allowed near it with bread. That level of patience feels almost unreasonable until the first bite explains why rushing would have been a terrible idea.
