5 Defunct Businesses that Boise Misses The Most
When one of your favorite businesses in the Treasure Valley shuts its doors for the last time, it feels like a major punch in the gut, right?
At least that s how I felt when Old Chicago in Downtown Boise closed last March. I was there at least once a week for 10 years to work on my World Beer Tour. While I m happy to see that a local restaurant, Union Block Bar and Eatery, has moved into the bar side of the restaurant, I m still trying to work up the nerve to walk in to give it a try and see the remodel.
Union Block Eatery Now Open Downtown
No better way to start the new year than finding new and exciting places to get your grub on. It s not surprising that the latest in good eats has popped up in downtown Boise. The newest restaurant in the Mai Thai Group family is Union Block Bar & Eatery, and it s located right next door to Mai Thai Modern Asian Cuisine.
The menu boasts 30 mouth watering items, with something for everyone. A definite standout is the Duck Confit:12 hour confit duck sautéed with onions and peppers, served with linguini tossed in béchamel. That s quite the fancy meal for just $16! Is a burger more your speed? The Pork Belly Burger is loaded with sriracha candied bacon, red onion, and whiskey BBQ sauce. Seriously, everything on this menu is incredible.
