The best sandwich in Idaho was named recently and it
belongs to this little known restaurant in Boise. Few people are
actually aware that Basque culture is huge in Boise. In fact, an entire
block of downtown Boise is dubbed “the Basque Block” and is comprised of
a museum, a Basque market, and authentic Basque eateries. Bar Gernika
is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that sits on the corner of the Basque
Block, and it is now home to Idaho’s best sandwich. You absolutely have
to visit this place if you haven’t already.
Bar Gernika resides in the heart
of downtown Boise, although you may just walk right past it without
knowing. The restaurant has been serving up delicious Basque-inspired
food since 1991.
This small eatery is one of
Idaho's most amazing hidden gems. It's popular among locals, but is
still relatively unknown by many. The interior is tiny and resembles a
small pub, not a restaurant. Don't be fooled. The food is not to be
missed.
"The Spicy Lamb Grinder" is the sandwich that was named Idaho's best by Food Network.
This Basque specialty consists of roasted lamb, grilled onions,
peppers, jalapenos, and cheese. It's one of Bar Gernika's most popular
dishes for good reason.
All of their sandwiches are
relatively basic, but the flavors are totally on point. The "Solomo
Sandwich" is marinated pork loin with pimientos. The beauty is in their
simplicity.
Under no circumstances should you leave without trying some of these.
These delicious little fried balls, called Croquetas, will have you
addicted from the first bite. Made from butter, onion, and chicken,
you'll find yourself consuming mass quantities of these things.
Most importantly, they always
have a tasty rotating beer selection. Nothing pairs better with their
wonderful sandwiches than a cold pint of whatever beer they have on tap.
Bar Gernika is a far
underappreciated spot in Idaho's culinary scene so it's pretty amazing
to see them getting some national recognition. The service is friendly
and the food is deliciously authentic. Be sure to plan a visit and get a
taste of Idaho's best sandwiches.
You'll find Bar Gernika at 202 S
Capitol Blvd, Boise, ID 83702. They are open 11:30 am to 12:00 am Monday
through Saturday and are closed on Sundays.
This may come as a surprise, but there aren't too many mainstream songs out there written about our beautiful state. Apparently, everyone's exes live in Texas or something like that... Not that we mind! The fewer people who know about our slice of paradise, the better, right? Regardless, when a good song about Idaho comes on the radio or personal playlist, we can't help but wax a little nostalgic. Today, we've been able to dig up 15 tunes that capture the spirit of Idaho in their own unique way. Have a listen! 1. "Idaho" - Reckless Kelly (2013) "Because he's an Idaho cowboy/no Tennessee plow-boy / He's wild as the Rockies he rides." This popular alternative country group made every heart melt with this song. It sure does capture the spirit of the mountain-loving Idahoan, doesn't it? 2. "Idaho" - Feeder (2012) "I may find a better view, find a better... view / Idaho." Feeder is a British (Welsh) rock band that has bee...
Casa Loma (Spanish for "Hill House") is a Gothic Revival castle-style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a historic house museum and landmark. It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox, who designed several other city landmarks. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 meters (460 ft) above sea level, 66 meters (217 ft) above Lake Ontario. Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular filming location for movies and television. It is also a popular venue for wedding ceremonies, and Casa Loma can be rented in the evenings after the museum closes to the public. History In 1903, financier Henry Pellatt purchased 25 lots from developers Kertland and Rolf. Pellatt commissioned architect E. J. Lennox to design Casa Loma, with construction beginning in 1911, starting with the massive stables, potting shed, and Hunting Lodge (a.k.a...
The Kuna Caves (or Kuna Cave ) is a lava tube cave south of Kuna, Idaho, with a public entrance, an opening in the ground with a caged ladder leading down into the main cavern. Background The cave is about 50 feet (15 m) deep and runs about a quarter mile north and around 1,000 feet (300 m) south from the entrance. The southern portion of the cave requires crawling through a trench dug out of the clay floor of the cave, leading to a small space approximately 3 feet (0.91 m) wide by 3 feet (0.91 m) tall by 4 feet (1.2 m) long in which you can turn around to return to the main [cavern]. The interior temperature of the cave hovers around 56 °F (13 °C) year-round. A logbook was placed deep in the North end of the cave for people to sign in 2018. Local Culture According to locals, at one time the system had been much larger and was composed of multiple caves, even stretching to the Snake River, before the United States Army Corps of Engineers blocked it off by detonating d...
