I Found All-You-Can-Eat Mexican Food Downtown
Yesterday, I was walking along in downtown Boise, and I thought to myself: I want an alarmingly large pile of meat, rice and beans, but no restaurant serves that. And I felt a little bit sad.
But then, at that very moment, I turned and saw a sign pinned outside El Gallo Giro on Main street. It said that they serve all-you-can-eat Mexican food for $9.43 on Tuesdays.

Ramen at Albertsons?
Boise doesn’t have enough ramen. We know it, and we suffer because of it.

The Dairy Industry Is Having a Cow
This is the first of two posts evaluating the viability of nut-based fake cheese.
Milk consumption in the United States is falling faster than a Holstein with a defective parachute, and alternative milks—from soy milk to pea milk—are a big reason why.
How obsessed is America with alternative milk? New York City recently experienced an oat milk shortage… and there was widespread panic.
Episode 2: Crush Your Business Lunch
Jesse Maldonado was elected to City Council in Lewiston, Idaho when he was just 18. He appeared on the Eating With Henry podcast to talk about government’s influence on food and what to order when you’re networking. He also recommended mustard pizza, which I wasn’t aware existed.
Episode 1: Should We Eat It Upside Down?
The first episode of the Eating With Henry podcast has arrived! A big thanks to Carl Vellotti for calling in from Los Angeles.
