If I don't, I won't.
That simple.
I don't like them all. About a third of the food I've tried doesn't do it for me, and that's okay, it might do it for someone else. I figure the inferiors will weed themselves out, while I'm steering you towards the good stuff.
Before trying a place, I avoid food reviews and ignore anything negative I've heard. I want to discover a potential new favorite for myself, and like it for my own reasons. My advice: 'Own your own palate.'
That said, if you want to know what the Appetite for Idaho gal likes, here is my ever-growing list of faves:

Try Gino's in north Meridian - the shank (lamb, boar...whatever they have that day) - it will surprise you. And Brickyard downtown Boise for the $7 lunch - usually a good value. Chicken fried steak at Joe Momma's in Eagle, if you like that kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteLaura's right about Gino's. I had the lamb shank... love it! It's Fred Flintstone huge and fall-off-the-bone tender.
