SmashBurger, Boise, ID

Stopped in here for lunch as we came into town. We each had “Little SmashBurgers”, shared a side of fries and I had a Butterfinger shake.

The burgers were very good… made with 100% Angus beef and had obviously freshly made patties. We chose the classic “Egg” buns and they added nice flavor to the juicy well cooked patty. The fries were tasty “Shoe String” style fries that were cooked perfectly.

My shake took quite a while to come. Though I eventually had to go get it myself, they made up for it later by bringing us a $5 gift certificate because of the wait! The shake itself was good, made by hand with fresh ice cream and milk.

Definitely a place to check out if you are passing through!

Bambara

Hello Foodies! I am sitting here in all my miserable glory after overeating at Bambara in Salt Lake City. After hearing that Bambara and chef Nathan Powers were the best in town, Derek and I had to see for ourselves. It just so happens that the restaurant is located in our hotel, Hotel Monaco…most convenient.

Snake Bite for Lunch

Idaho Falls, Idaho, is a quaint little town in southeast Idaho.  Mostly a farming community, this small town is the central hub for around 100,000 people living in the area.  Easy access to Jackson Hole, Yellowstone National Park, Salt Lake City, Portland and Seattle make Idaho Falls a decent place to hang out for a while.  The food, however, leaves a lot to be desired.
