The shelves carry Mexican spices, chiles, and produce that the big chains rarely bother to stock. Fresh Mexican...

5 Mom and Pop Restaurants in Boise, Idaho that Locals Swear By
Boise, Idaho — a city where the foothills roll gold and green, where the Boise River winds through neighborhoods stitched together by memory and migration, where the scent of pine and fry sauce mingles with the laughter of families on sunlit patios. Here, Basque, Basque-American, Mexican, and pioneer stories are layered in brick and timber, in murals and music, in the hush of old trees and the hum of new arrivals. Boise’s soul is a patchwork — of students and old-timers, artists and engineers, dreamers and doers, all gathering beneath the wide Idaho sky.

Spud Daddy, Idaho Potato Commission bring Guinness fry record home
BOISE — It spent a long sabbatical in India, but the Guinness World Record for the largest serving of fries is officially back in Idaho. A crew of approximately four dozen volunteers spent more than five hours Friday evening cutting, flash-freezing and frying more than 60 boxes of Idaho-grown potatoes at the Idaho Botanical Garden to bring the title home for Potato Days. “It feels good to have the record for the largest serving of French fries back in Idaho, where it belongs,” said Spud Daddy owner Thomas Watson, whose recently opened business spearheaded the event alongside the Idaho Potato Commission. The commission’s managing director, Jeweldean Hull, said the record was previously in Idaho before the Helly & Chilly Cafe in Gujarat, India, claimed it in September 2018 with 1,452.85 pounds of fries. “The French fries could be frozen, could be fresh. It doesn’t really matter, but we are doing fresh-cut fries,” Hull said. “They can be cooked in an oil, but they have to be fried.” Additionally, the feat required a calibration technician to witness and weigh the newly cooked fries, which volunteers sporadically dumped into a tank positioned atop a scale throughout the event.
