The Korean Fried Chicken At This Hole-In-The-Wall Boise, Idaho Joint Is The City’s Best By Far, Diners Say
Some of the best meals in Boise come from rooms with only a handful of tables and no fancy sign out front. This story is about one of them. A small storefront on the south side of the city has built a loyal following with a menu that fits on a napkin: chicken, sauce, and a few sides. People drive across the Treasure Valley for it, order it for lunch week after week, and call it the top Korean fried chicken in town without blinking.

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

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.

NOTEBOOK: Danielson say Broncos have 'right players' and 'right coaches' on defense despite struggles
BOISE — Boise State football coach Spencer Danielson believes his team has the right pieces in place on the defensive side of the ball, even as the Broncos continue to give up big plays and opponents continue lighting up the scoreboard. Danielson defended defensive coordinator Erik Chinander and the defensive staff on Monday, following the Broncos’ 64-38 win against Colorado State on Saturday, saying the Broncos have the “right players” and the “right coaches” while admitting the execution of both need to be better for the team to continue to be successful. “When I watch the game, it’s not because there are bad play calls by Coach Chinander,” said Danielson. “We got to execute better, but we also got to figure out what our players do. ... I believe in him, I believe in our defensive staff, but we’re not sitting here saying ‘he’s got to execute.’ We got to get to work, we have to have answers for our players from practice to what we do so they can execute at a high level.” Saturday’s game was the third time in four games the Broncos (8-1, 5-0 Pac-12) have given up more than 30 points in a game.
