A Love Affair
For the past few weeks, I’ve been eating a lot of cheese and noodles. Like, an amount of cheese and noodles that would only make sense if I was carbo-loading for the Tour de France.
And I did that so you could read about mac and cheese. You’re welcome.
Read my report on Boise mac and cheese in the Idaho Statesman.
I visited the Treasure Valley’s Indian buffets for the Idaho Statesman. You can read about it here.
Only after I gorged at five Indian restaurants in 48 hours did I understand what it means to sacrifice for your craft.
Fast-casual Mexican is like a good friend or a stain-removing pen—it’s always there when you need it.
There are healthier, tastier, and more interesting types of food. But nothing will ever support you in a moment of emotional difficulty like a warm $8 burrito.
One of the best things you can do for your quality of life is learn to appreciate the subtle beauty of fast-casual Mexican. And I’m here to help… with an authoritative ranking of the fast-casual Mexican food establishments in Boise.

Dine Out Downtown Boise is a beautiful cooperation between the Downtown Boise Association and 29 downtown restaurants. They combine forces to create a brilliant ten days of eating. It’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday weight gain.
I recently enjoyed brunch at The Modern Hotel and Bar. You’ve probably heard of The Modern because its swanky rooms, friendly patio, and designer cocktails have made it a favorite of people visiting Boise and most national magazines. Now a decade old, it is equal parts hotel and local hangout.
You wouldn’t know it from the ‘Hotel and Bar’ moniker, but The Modern is also an excellent restaurant. The food is locally sourced and the menus are consistently eye-catching. My brunch menu was dotted with truffle oil, naan bread, green tomatoes, and bonito flakes. This isn’t Elmers.
