Idaho's Best Wings Skip the Ranch and Celery for a Mini Hibachi and Crisp Polenta Logs
The wings show up on their own grill. Not a basket, not a plate with a ramekin of ranch pushed off to the side, but a tiny portable hibachi still throwing heat, set down in the middle of your table at Barbacoa Grill in Boise. That single piece of staging is a big part of […]

No coffee and doughnuts? Dunkin' won't open in proposed Boise location after all
One of the busiest corridors in Boise won’t run on Dunkin’ after all. A proposed State Street site for the coffee-and-doughnut chain’s expansion into the Treasure Valley has been nixed. About seven months after it was revealed that Dunkin’ planned to invade the Boise area, paperwork was filed with the city to take over a Papa Murphy’s pizza restaurant at 6940 W. State St. It’s a relatively high-profile location at Northgate Shopping Center. But on Friday, the architect working on the Dunkin’ project requested that the application be withdrawn. Parties involved were not able to come to an agreement, according to a letter to the city, and building ownership decided not to proceed with the Dunkin’ buildout. The letter referenced concerns about the lack of a grease trap or interceptor in the building. In January, JP Green, partner and retail brokerage specialist at real estate company TOK Commercial , said that Dunkin’ sees potential for up to 20 or more Treasure Valley locations. But so far, no Dunkin’ sites have been formally announced. “I can confirm we are close to signing three leases for Dunkin’,” he told the Statesman weeks ago, “but can’t comment on where until the ink is

This Boise bar is always moving. But now it's opening a permanent Meridian lounge
A Boise bar that's been on the move for nearly a decade has finally found a home, sweet home. If all goes according to plan, Meridian customers will be sipping cocktails at the new lounge a few months from now. Mobile bar service Idaho Tipsy Trailers plans to open a permanent brick-and-mortar location at 1630 S. Eagle Road, near the intersection with Overland Road. The small lounge, called Hitch & House, will be in the same building as the soon-to-open Rev Collective coffee shop and market. The target opening month is January. “This is going to basically be our home,” Idaho Tipsy Trailers owner Lindsey Thurow said. “That’s where ‘House’ comes from. And ‘Hitch,’ obviously, from the trailers.” Serving at weddings, corporate functions and other events, Idaho Tipsy Trailers has the option of a converted horse trailer, a converted camper trailer, three satellite bars, a beverage cart or a “sip station.” Thurow pulls an alcohol catering permit for each event, using a third-party bar’s liquor license. (Idaho Tipsy Trailers currently operates through the license of O’Michael’s Pub & Grill in Boise.) With its own license, Hitch & House will serve as both a local bar in Meridian and as a
