Here Is Who Made Our Final Cut For The 7 Best Idaho Finger Steak Spots
One Boise drive-in claims it holds the original finger steak recipe from a long-gone lounge called the Torch. That’s a bold claim about strips of battered beef, and I love it. Finger steaks are pure Idaho. Most of the country has never heard of them, which feels like a...

Expanding to Boise from San Francisco, this restaurant chain serves ‘showstoppers'
A San Francisco restaurant brand has expanded outside California for the first time — by launching a location in Idaho. Dumpling Time opened Friday at The Warehouse Food Hal l at 370 S. 8th St. in downtown Boise. The chain, which has five Bay Area locations, offers a modern slant on traditional Asian dumplings, according to a press release. Many Californians are fans. “The seafood and Wagyu dumplings are showstoppers,” a recent Yelp review said of the longtime location on San Francisco’s Division Street. Boise’s location will “introduce a streamlined, fast-casual iteration of the concept, offering counter service and a thoughtful selection of the restaurant’s most popular dishes,” the release says. Dumpling Time is operated by Omakase Restaurant Group , which made its Boise debut last year by unveiling the well-reviewed Raibu Sushi Bar , 808 W. Fort St. “Boise has been incredibly welcoming to us since we first became part of its restaurant community with Raibu Sushi Bar, and we’re excited to continue building on that relationship,” Kash Feng, co-founder and CEO of Omakase Restaurant Group, said in a prepared statement. “The Warehouse Food Hall is a place we’ve enjoyed visiting ourselves, and we felt its energy and casual

Boise’s approach to turkey troubles and rat reproach
BOISE — An ordinance passed by Boise City Council in October is serving as the city’s first step in tackling amassing complaints surrounding local pests. For the capital city, the focus has narrowed in on turkeys in northern Boise and invasive rats. The two animals are an unlikely pairing but have presented residents with similar challenges. “Both are sort of infiltrating Boise as pests, right?” Boise City Council Policy Advisor Emily Allen said. “So it was maybe, I don’t want to say luck, but a useful coincidence that by addressing some of these nuisance provisions, we were actually addressing two different types of pests.” A native population of turkeys has been wreaking havoc in the hills. Despite being from the area, the turkeys have become more prominent in neighborhoods and sometimes aggressive. Meanwhile, Idaho’s rat infestation has become a concern for all municipalities across the Treasure Valley. Rat populations are notoriously difficult to control. The common factor between both critters: food. “When we were looking at language in the ordinance, it really honestly had a lot of overlap in terms of what Idaho Fish and Game had told us was something we could address related to turkeys, as well as

Promising a ‘more affordable concert,' this major outdoor Boise show is coming
An outlaw-country singer with a headbanging past is coming to Boise for an outdoor concert next year. And he’s bringing a ticket deal that rocks. Cody Jinks & the Tonedeaf Hippies will bring “The Working Man Tour” to the Idaho Botanical Garden’s Outlaw Field June 19. Tickets sales for the public are set to start at 10 a.m. Friday for $65 at Ticketmaster . A $65 concert ticket isn’t an eyebrow-raising price in today’s economic climate. But it’s not chump change, either. So Jinks has a solution. “We know you’re working hard, so we’ve been working overtime to create a more affordable concert experience for you,” his Instagram account explained this week. The tour’s press release specifies that “groups of four will be able to attend for just $100 to $150, making it easier for fans to enjoy a full night of live music without the high costs that have become synonymous with going to a concert.” In Boise, that four-pack of tickets will cost $103 — or just over $25 per ticket. The package is limited, so frugal fans shouldn’t procrastinate. “Additionally,” the release says, “in every market possible, each venue will feature unique food and drink specials as

The idea had been simmering since around 2018, and Haroian planned to open the shop in October 2025. Now it is becoming a gathering spot for the Treasure Valley's self-described hopeless romantics.
