To Eat or Not To Eat?
Plant a Row for the Hungry
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to the newsletter or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Apparently there is a national campaign for folks to plant extra garden rows of fresh produce and donate the extra food to the local food banks and homeless shelters. Fresh produce is a premium item, difficult [...]
Paper Checks Belong to a Bygone Era
I saw the flier when I walked into Smitty’s recently, and I read the message, but it did not hit me until I read it again when paying our bill and leaving. The Idaho Falls Smitty’s restaurant will no longer accept personal or business checks!
I think it did not register in my mind at [...]
Is there signficance to restaurant health inspection reports?
What do you think of restaurant health inspections? What do you think of the Post Register publishing the inspection results? Do the published inspection results cause you to change your eating locations?
These inspections apparently only occur at restaurants once every six months. On one hand, that can cause the report to provide an extremely [...]
Diner Proposed to Serve Airport, Call Centers, and Idaho Falls
I propose a diner or cafe be located on a vacant lot near the Idaho Falls airport, specifically on International Way.
There is a perfect little spot on the north side of International Way, between the white Scientech building and the call centers’ parking lot. I included the map graphic to give you an idea of [...]
Close Idaho Falls-Area High School Campuses
I think all Idaho Falls-area high schools should close their campuses for lunch. I believe closed campuses are best for our area because of time and distance required to reach eating establishments, unhealthy food is usually eaten when students leave campus,
Most local high schoolers only get 35 minutes for lunch, barely enough time to [...]
Why I Love Downtown Idaho Falls
There is a particular something, though it’s unclear what that something is, about downtown Idaho Falls that seems very appealing to me. Whether it’s wasting time playing guitar or bickering about music history (who did the most to damage music, Nirvana or Limp Bizkit!?) at Ziel Company, enjoying a slice of warm bread from [...]
One Hell of a Sandwich
The other day, my wife and I were visiting our good friends the Hansons who recently opened a new salon on A street, and we suddenly found ourselves craving some sandichey goodness. Across the street, we found Geraldine’s Bakery, and decided to give it a try.
Geraldine’s makes one hell of a sandwich.
So this gave [...]
Local restaurant run only by high school students
KIFI Local News 8 recently reported on Sandcreek Middle School’s great in-school food service, ‘The Firepit’. The report strangely says that no other restaurants offer something unique (?), but the unique aspect of ‘The Firepit’ is that students are the waiters, chefs, and delivery people. They field menus around school and in their classroom’s tabled [...]
Dinner and a Movie-Part 1
Work has been stressful lately, so my brilliant wife got a babysitter and took me out for dinner and a movie last Saturday night. Part 1 will be the dinner review , part 2 will be the movie review.
We went to Texas Roadhouse, only my third time there. The first was a couple years ago, [...]
Sonic shakes good but sloppy
I cannot stomach Sonic food, but the shakes are great for the kids. When you pull up to the drive-thru order station, they always acknowledge you then ask you to wait (at least at the west 17th street location). This used to annoy me, but then I realized at least they acknowledge you are there [...]
Hot dogs: Home Depot vs. Sam’s Club
I could smell the hot dogs cooking outside as I did the self-checkout thing at our local Home Depot. The smell was delicious, and I resolved to finally buy one. Three things stopped me as soon as I walked out the door towards the hot dog stand.
There was a line, there was nowhere to [...]
Local Students Can Submit Teacher Feedback
This may cause some local disruption, but life’s short, right?
District 91 is near the end of their second trimester, so it seems a good time to let students in our area know they can give feedback about their teachers at a wonderful site called ratemyteachers.com. Local college students can rate their professors at a similar [...]
