One of the truck stops on this list started out in 1891 as a little general store run by the town postmaster. Back then, you picked up your mail there. Today, travelers pull off the interstate for big plates of breakfast. That stuck with me. Idaho truck stops carry a...

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...

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.

Everyone Shops At Fred Meyer But This Idaho Meat Market Smokes Its Own Bacon And Jerky In-House
Blackberry turkey jerky that is actually smoked, not dehydrated, sits behind one butcher counter I keep thinking about. That one detail tells you a lot.

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

Idaho Has 4 Mexican Bakeries Where Conchas Come Out Warm Every Morning
One Idaho panaderia stays open all night for part of the week, so you could grab a concha at 3 a.m. if the craving hits. I love that. It turns a sweet roll into a midnight adventure. The concha gets its name from the Spanish word for shell. That crackly...

5 Best Restaurants in Boise, Idaho You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them
Boise, Idaho — a city where the foothills glow gold at dusk, where the Boise River winds through cottonwoods and the laughter of families, students, and dreamers drifts across greenbelt trails. Here, red-brick buildings and modern glass towers stand shoulder to shoulder, stitched together by the pulse of local music, the scent of roasting coffee, and the easy camaraderie of neighbors who greet each other by name.

We Ranked The 6 Best Idaho Chicken Fried Steak Diners And Here Is Who Made The Final Cut
One Idaho diner on this list opened in 1917, which means its griddle has outlasted the Model T. That’s more than a century of cracked eggs and hot coffee. I find that kind of staying power really hard to resist. Chicken fried steak fits right into that story. It’s...

This Idaho Buffet Stacks Carved Roast Beef, Baked And Fried Chicken And A Full Salad Bar On One Long Line
A buffet this good needs a game plan, and this Idaho spot doesn’t make it easy. The roast beef cooks overnight in au jus, so it’s been prepping longer than you have. Then there’s the fried chicken, which apparently holds the title of Utah’s number one. The oven-roasted version comes with a house spice blend, so both get a fair shot at your plate.

One 83-year-old chef has been cooking noodles at the same small stove since 1983. He still makes his own won-ton wrappers, too. His kitchen claims to be the only Chinese restaurant in Idaho doing both from scratch. That alone made me stop scrolling. The dining room keeps things simple, with...
