Food nurtures our bodies...the stories of food nurture our souls



Pull up a chair, and let’s talk about food. More specifically, let’s talk about the culinary scene of the Treasure Valley. And while we’re at it, let’s hear from the people who create that scene. We believe that locally owned culinary businesses are an essential part of the soul of a place. They offer more than food -- they serve up big heaping helpings of regional identity. This site is dedicated to telling their stories. Through blogs, podcasts and social media, you’ll learn about the folks "behind the menu". We hope you’ll enjoy hearing these stories...and that you’ll become a part of the conversation about our local culinary scene as well.
