Guys I'm 60 years old... When I was 5 years old my father worked for the government the state of Michigan you saved up his vacation time for 5 years and we got 3 months off so in 1968.. he bought a we called it a Jeep you guys said wagoneer but we had one just like it but it was green with the wooden sides and it was when people didn't put the kids in seat belts my brother and I had two big bean bag chairs in the very back my sister sat in the next ones and my parents got a Shasta camper and took us for 3 months to see to see the presidents at Mount Rushmore and I remember my dad sharing that a 6 ft tall man could stand up in the nostril of George Washington I never forgot that I was only five and then we went to the Grand canyon and then to Disney in California on the way back we stopped at the Grand Ole Opry we didn't have tickets but some really cool guard person let us in and gave my sister and I grabbed a lot for bracelets that I still have to this day....which are now collectors items... That was the old Grand... Not the new one... I love how you guys got excited about that jeep because it made me super excited... What are some parents I had that gave me great memories they're both passed on now but gave me the fever to want to travel... Hence why I came to your channel to be an adventurer!!! Love you two .love your channel...been watching it for years..I rarely comment
You know you've made a successful vlog when you get someone who had no intention nor reason to go to a destination to start thinking about it. Their tourism board should be rewarding you for this! 😊
Thanks for doing such a good job with my hometown. It’s always a bit hard telling people I am from Boise (Boy-see it was also driving me nuts but don’t worry everyone does it) but when people actually know what Boise is like they usually love it. Looking forward to your next adventure in Idaho. Hoping it’s somewhere like McCall, or Loman. Even Idaho city would be a fun pass through. P.s. agree to come in summer. Big thing is float down the river end at the park and have a BBQ, table rock, and Merritts. The hidden gem and best scones you will ever eat.
When I posted on my Facebook that it’s Boy-see not Boy-zee some guy actually argued with me about it saying that’s how everyone pronounces it. So I told him they’re pronouncing it wrong! Born and raised here so I think I know how it’s pronounced. 😂🤷🏼♀️
@@AngelLuluBluJewel even wrote a song about it called “there is no Z in Boise.” She was bored on the tour bus and wrote it on the way to perform here. the Boise Chordsmen barbershop chorus got the rights to the song from her manager. There’s a video on TH-cam of them performing it.
My hometown!!! ❤❤❤ You barely scratched the surface but you hit some great spots. For a short trip I think you got a great taste of the place. One other spot I think you would have loved is a cocktail bar downtown called Press & Pony. You’ll have to check it out next time. Also you may not think of great wine when you think of Idaho but they have a very impressive wine region. Koenig Vineyards is one of the best. Cinder too! Also also it’s Boy-see not Boy-zee. Y’all were driving me up the wall! If you do move there you’ll have to work on your pronunciation 😂. Great video! Great job showcasing one of the best places on earth!
@@jackblah5842 🤣 Moved here in '21 from NeVahDa and I ust spent way too long saying Boysee boyzee boysee boyzee. I hear zero difference but I also grew up near Worchester (WisTah) & Leominster, Ma (LemonStah) so I will keep working on this!
Entertaining video. Wouldn't that ice cream potato be the best April Fools Day dinner trick ever? It still looked like a potato even after you took a spoonful. Such a fun city
So fun to see your impressions of some of the wonderful places in Boise! I live about two hours away in Twin Falls and we travel to Boise all the time! I wish you could see it in summer- I think you’d love it that much more! You can float the river, the downtown has so many things happening, the city is beautiful with all of the trees- you barely scratched the surface of a wonderful city!
I rarely comment but I watch as many of your videos as I can. I just wanted to share with you how much I enjoy your videos. I think your videos are such top shelf content. From the television quality b-roll to the great storytelling you guys do so well on all of it!! Appreciate ya!
It’s been warming up here in Boise and my spring flowers are starting to bloom, but today is a rainy day. Back in the 90s we had a 4 day long river festival in the summers. Think rose parade, but on a river. 50 foot-long floats that would float down the river. It was a big deal with music, entertainment, fireworks. Then they realized it was not so good for the river, so they changed it to floats on Capital Boulevard. Enjoying your adventures. Glad you could visit us.
That would have been amazing to see and attend! Definitely makes sense that they moved it to land, but glad you got to experience the river version - very cool!
Ice wine is common over here near Detroit in Ontario Canada and a few places make it in Traverse City. Glad you had a chance to try it. Very sweet indeed!
Oh man...my family had a Wagoneer like that when I was a kid (probably mid-70's), ,but it was bright red. We loved that car! I can remember driving around sitting in the way back, looking out the back window with our giant Saint Bernard. Funnily enough, we later had a van similar to that (not giant tires/wheels like that) that we used for road trips (captains chairs in the front and middle, a sink and mini fridge + a wrap around bench with a table that turned into a bed. Rolling in our baby blue van with the 8 track tapes.
Those are all amazing memories! We definitely remember the days of riding backwards in our grandparents' cars. Road trips were so different back in the day 😂
Made my week! 😊 returning home to Rivers Edge UT after my work day, and to find Clementine and Ruby, parked as my neighbor. Was thrilled, having followed you folks all this winter. Keep on rolling, and keep ‘em running! Hope to cross trails again up the road as “full timers”. All the best! Lou & Fluffy
If you get back to Germany, look for Eiswein from Bingen am Rhein which is close to Wiesbaden. I believe it is made all over Germany now. It was first made in Bingen area. It is a dessert wine.
It's so cool! When we were there last summer, there was a group of people painting one of the murals as we walked through. Very fun to see the process!
Welcome to my hometown. Wish you come back in summer when is warmer. So much to do here. Chef Lou's Ice Cream Potato is a Boise Favorite for sure. Glad you saw the Old Pen and Basque Block area. Come back soon. Ray in Boise
For nearly a decade, I lived just a few blocks from the Old Pen. Used to walk by it every morning on my loop. My location was also only about 8 blocks away from all of the downtown locations you were hitting. So, I had a fairly decent spot! I sent the artist who painted the pirate goat a link to your video. I bet they get a kick out of it. Oh, and hitting the wine country (what I like to call "Nampa Valley") is a solid move. Just...have a designated driver. Glad you had a nice time in Boise. It is a pretty nice place (with some large caveats).
Always make sure to have a designated driver. Our State Motto for WEED AND ALCOHOL IS ,,,,,,, COME TO IDAHO ON VACATION, LEAVE IDAHO ON PROBATION " Very strick on ALCOHOL and EXTREMELY STRICK ON WEED IN ANY AMOUNT OR TYPE.
That bottle is called a split, which is half the usual size. Icewine is made from the blood of the grape (the water stays frozen and just the sugars are extracted). Probably yours is made from the Vidal grape, but try some from Germany (Riesling grape) and you will be amazed and delighted. Cheers😊
So funny, i have lived in Ketchum for 47 years and frequent Boise a lot. Never done the things you did, and never been to the Basque area...too many other things to do. Great place to live.
You made my entire day when you poured that ice wine like you were going to enjoy it with dinner. I had to pause the video and your face said it all. Canada pumps that stuff out like crazy I’ve never had one that I enjoyed.
How awesome you are from STL (where I was born, lived 28 years) and now you are passing through where I live now, would have been ideal for you to visit late spring, the weather is amazing and we have the perfectly low humidity level. Its such a fun and great place to live! Thanks for coming and you did a fantastic job presenting Boise.
Boise is so cute! I love all the murals and the steak fries looked friggin awesome. The sound on the ice! It's really thin, recently frozen black ice and it makes crazy sounds (look up skating on thin ice from National Geographic). It's so cool. We love that old Wagoneer! I'm sort of offended by the way the new ones look.
I read a blog about the origin of the Idaho ice cream potato and the author interviewed Chef Lou at Westside Diner! He said it was invented in the 1940s for a governor's banquet. The original had maple nut ice cream and fudge sauce, whipped cream and almonds. I love this "dessert imposter" and what a fun video 🥔🤗
Fun fact: Boise contains the highest Basque population in the entire world... outside of Spain, of course. Out of the places that I've tried, Bar Gernika is my favorite of the Basque restaurants in the city; their croquettes in particular are especially well-regarded around here 🙂
I just rediscovered your channel after a long, long break and happy to see you made it to my hometown and where I live now. Really glad the sun was out for your time here. Keep having fun and looking forward to further adventures.
fab vid as always. as soon as you said ice wine i thought i bet thats a dessert wine, hilarious but i bet it was lovely, i love me a dessert wine, especially a french muscat.
I've lived in Boise for 20+ years and you did a great job of giving a snap shot of the city. You found a few of our treasures but could spend many more days here and uncover a multitude of special adventures. Hit me up anytime you want a list!
You could call your channel travel & eats! I thought that was a real potatoe. Thank goodness it was ice cream! How delicious! And I thought you were going to say it was "potato wine". I enjoy your smattering of history. I've driven though Idaho often going back to Portland, Or. This was eons ago. Who knew Idaho is so interesting. Thanks for showing us around.
I didn't read all 300+ comments and maybe someone mentioned it. Several wineries in Indiana make/have ice wine. It is fantastic and very sweet. Not sure if they have them where you are but Aldi's usually early winter has a brand that they sell. Usually it's a little cheaper but it's very good. And if you happen to be in Indiana April 27th, the michiana wine festival is going on where they have all kinds of wines from around Indiana that is in fort Wayne, Indiana. You guys would love it! Wine food trucks more wine.
There is no place more beautiful than Idahome. Especially the Sawtooth mountains. You should visit sometime. Great for camping, hiking, fishing, and astrophotography! ✨✨
I am now working on my bus and just having a short break, you are so inspiring me to finish my bus ❤ there are so many places I realize I need to see. BTW sorry for my english I am filipino living in Arkansas.
I couldn't help it but remember that B-52s song "You're living in your own private Idaho Living in your own private Idaho (oh) Underground like a wild potato"
In Springfield, MO, right off I-44 going North on Glenstone is an old Sinclair gas station that has about 5 or 6 of these Jeep Waggoneers sitting by it for sale. It’s old H Hwy if you’re familiar with this part of the state. Anyhow, good hunting on finding a Jeep!
I thought I spotted clementine driving down a street in Boise...but I decided it couldn't be you guys! Now I'm sad I didnt say hi!! ❤️ Glad you loved the town we call home. 😊 You were right by our house!!
Hello Allison and Eric. I have actually been there at this time of year. I only saw it in passing on the Greyhound. In some states we got time to look at the Capitol buildings. They tended to be like that. I envy you going at your own pace, but as a foreigner I had to get round US in the time on my visa. That looks like a great place that I enjoyed seeing more of, so thank you.
You just keep producing more and more great videos to watch. Ice cream potatoes though ummm.no thanks lol. I did see that there was a crazy brief time that everybody wanted mac and cheese ice cream
Glad you made it out of the potato alive! I'm sure you'll never forget that stay. The food all looks delicious. That was a sweet Wagoneer, about a 1980?
Great video…ya’ll hit some amazing spots in my hometown. Like others have said, Boise is pronounced as “Boy-see”. There is no Z sound. Also, it’s great you went to WestSide Drive In…but no one around here calls them “steak fingers,” it’s fingersteaks.😁. Not trying to be snarky…just helpful. Looks like ya’ll had a full and fun day. Maybe next time, ya’ll can come in the summer and float the Boise River….such a fun experience to do it at least once.
Hey guys! Icewine is a big thing in Southern Ontario, Niagara region. You should go to Niagara on the lake and go to wineries. It's an awesome area. But yeah, icewine is a dessert wine, like port wine.
Some of the murals in Freak Alley are actually replaced every year or two, and people apply to take part. Our son participated a couple of times when he was younger. Also, if you ask a native, it's pronounced bound rather than Boy-Z. Boise is a great place to live for the most part.
Fun to see my home state in these videos - I moved to FL a couple of years ago, so it's been memory lane. Boise is a lot of fun, cool city - if you guys are still in Idaho consider heading up toward McCall and look into Burgdorf Hot Springs - you won't be disappointed.
I hope that someday you make it to Harrisburg, the capital of PA. Not only is there a good bit of local history and close proximity to Hershey, Lancaster (PA Dutch country) and Gettysburg, but it has what the Smithsonian labeled as the most beautiful capitol building in the country. It's well worth a tour, with marble, gold, bronze, stained glass, beautiful artwork and more!
Great video of my hometown! I no longer live there but have a lot of family still in the area. When I ate meat, Basque chorizo was one of my favorites!! So glad you all got to try it. Only one note from a former Boisean - Boise is pronounced with an "s" sound, not a "z" sound. Jewel even wrote a song about it! 😅 Thanks for all the great content! I always enjoy your videos! ❤
Nice! I loved the look of those steak fries and that ice cream potato dish. The state capital building was cool as well regarding the architecture. Rock on!
I love Chorizo too and have put down the place in Boise to try sometime. If the next time you pass through Portland, OR you are driving I215 near the Airport look up Gartner's Country Meat Market and get some of the Chorizo Brats. I lived across the Columbia River in Vancouver for about 20 years and since leaving one of a few foods I really really miss is the Chorizo Brats from Gartner's. They are a little spicy! Love your channel and never miss an episode. Keep it up!
Happy to have another chorizo enthusiast adventuring with us! Definitely try some at the market if you ever find yourself in Boise 🤤 and we'll for sure snag some the next time we're in Portland!
If you're interested in ice wine, the Canadian province of Ontario around Niagara falls is the capital of wineries who make that. Highly recommend a visit as the area is beautiful.
As a Dane, I loved your awestruck comment that the Capitol building is a hundred years old WOW 🤗- not many similar buildings over here (Europe - for those who do not know what Denmark is) are younger ;-) ) - love your vids
Quite a few years ago we did a road trip around Idaho (threw a dart at a map and went where it landed). And I’m so glad you guys caught a good feel from Boise, we loved it too! Our favorite places were just random roadside hot springs and Craters of the Moon!
Ice wine is definitely a sipping wine. We actually serve it in liqueur glasses and that’s enough for us. There’s a lot of award winning ice wine made around Niagara on the Lake in Ontario Canada.
I like Boise. It is the closest big city for us as we are in NE Oregon. We will be going next week for my birthday and I'm looking for a few new Boise adventures to experience.
Way to go, Ida-ho! Fun fact: in the very first Toy Story movie, Hamm said that very same sentence to Mr. Potato Head after he did something extraordinary (I forget what). I found that so funny, I've been saying it ever since! Thanks for another great video! Love the Wagoneer!
Excellent video. Interesting Basque connection. The name Boise sounds French - which would be pronounced "bwahz" here in France. I know that when we head out to the south west, we pass through a town called Amboise pron. "Om-bwahz", in the Loire chateau region.
Where the potatoes are bigger than my dreams haha. But for real, that looks so yummy! I started wondering, "when is my travel dart would land in the US?" Hopefully, quite very soon!
If you're heading east and wind up in Idaho Falls there's a Mexican restaurant called Calakas Tacos & Miches you have to try. The best! Love Idaho. Oh and Allison is the G.O.A.T...😅
You missed out on Eis Wine in Germany?? It’s big over there. We have some in the Finger Lakes area, too. For our wedding, we shipped MANY cases of Eis Wine from Germany (I was stationed there). It is NOT an Idaho thing. :-)
Ooh that cocoa powder looks like hot chocolate mix, or Nestlé 's Quik ! I love Boise. There was a A&W right by the freeway at Overton overpass exit. It was great
Glad you guys had a great time! Besides the boy-see thing, they are called finger steaks not steak fingers. You missed out on the scones at Merritt's, maybe next time!😊

Idaho guy here. They're called "Finger steaks" not Steak fingers, glad you liked them and thanks for showing Boise off!
Finger steaks were also invented at The Torch Lounge.

Come to Boise! It is great!!
Because of this, I just booked a trip to Basque district, San Sebastian and Bilbao.
Love y'all videos.❤ I'm hooked. Big fan in South Carolina.
I think that Sardine was an anchovy. Very common in Spain in tapas and pintxos. Yum!
Yep😂 that would be stout for sure!

Yep, I remember the River Festival. I think it only ran for four or five years, if memory serves. Man, I do miss the 90s 😅
You guys have to go back to Boise during the summer, there's so much to do and the farmer's markets are great.
Too bad about those pesky winter months, huh
@@taurus1647 Well, there's Bogus Basin Ski Resort less than 20 miles away, if you're into skiing. I'm not.
Ice wine is common over here near Detroit in Ontario Canada and a few places make it in Traverse City. Glad you had a chance to try it. Very sweet indeed!
Surprised you hadn't seen it tasted Eiswein in Germany especially around Christmas time. Very sweet but delicious. Great video.
Surfing 🏄♂️ Ice Wine... Chorizo... and a Baked Potato in Ice Cream form... What a diverse city tour
Right? So many eclectic, fun things in one city!
More endless adventures!!! I love you two!!!
Thanks for visiting my city in Idaho

Will do! Thanks for the tip!
I love street art!! That’s pretty cool to have a system of ally ways full of art. Turning ugly dirty places into some place you want to see.
It's so cool! When we were there last summer, there was a group of people painting one of the murals as we walked through. Very fun to see the process!
Oh cool! We were really hoping we'd see someone painting while we were there. Glad you got to!
Welcome to my hometown. Wish you come back in summer when is warmer. So much to do here. Chef Lou's Ice Cream Potato is a Boise Favorite for sure. Glad you saw the Old Pen and Basque Block area. Come back soon. Ray in Boise
We'll for sure have to visit again in the summer! We'd love to float the river and take advantage of the surrounding nature 😍

The mural with the goat is the GOAT of the murals in the area!! 😉
So funny, i have lived in Ketchum for 47 years and frequent Boise a lot. Never done the things you did, and never been to the Basque area...too many other things to do. Great place to live.
That restaurant should give you candy accessories that you can use to make a Mr. or Mrs. Ice Cream Potato Head! 🙂
this is so refreshing to see what other american cities and towns are like. Really love watching you both
Our daughter lives in Boise after being born and raised in Texas. She loves Boise! Great video of a beautiful city!
Awesome! Glad she's enjoying it as much as we did!
My daughter was born and raised in Boise and now lives in Texas. Brutal brutal Texas
You made my entire day when you poured that ice wine like you were going to enjoy it with dinner. I had to pause the video and your face said it all.
Canada pumps that stuff out like crazy I’ve never had one that I enjoyed.
Niagara ice wine is delicious. Sweet but not cloyingly sweet.
How awesome you are from STL (where I was born, lived 28 years) and now you are passing through where I live now, would have been ideal for you to visit late spring, the weather is amazing and we have the perfectly low humidity level. Its such a fun and great place to live! Thanks for coming and you did a fantastic job presenting Boise.
It's so cool to see you had such a fun look at my hometown. Born and raise in the beautiful state of Idaho
My siblings live there and love it, only caveat is the housing is quite expensive.
Boise is so cute! I love all the murals and the steak fries looked friggin awesome. The sound on the ice! It's really thin, recently frozen black ice and it makes crazy sounds (look up skating on thin ice from National Geographic). It's so cool. We love that old Wagoneer!

PO-TA-TOES! Boil 'em, Mash 'em, have 'em as dessert 😜🧙♂
Never thought I'd want to want to go to Idaho of all places, but here we are...hahaha. It looks super nice!
Same! 🤣 But we promise Boise (and the surrounding area) is totally worth it!

Oh my you guys always have the best food no matter where you travel to, I'm so jealous, lol. Enjoy your trip to Idaho.
Shocked that you guys didn't have ice wine or hear about it while you were in the finger lakes! Boise seems awesome, love your adventures.
fab vid as always. as soon as you said ice wine i thought i bet thats a dessert wine, hilarious but i bet it was lovely, i love me a dessert wine, especially a french muscat.
Awe. I love it! Koenig wine is yummy. And the old state pen. The drop room. Creepy. Welcome to my state!
I've lived in Boise for 20+ years and you did a great job of giving a snap shot of the city. You found a few of our treasures but could spend many more days here and uncover a multitude of special adventures. Hit me up anytime you want a list!

And if you happen to be in Indiana April 27th, the michiana wine festival is going on where they have all kinds of wines from around Indiana that is in fort Wayne, Indiana. You guys would love it! Wine food trucks more wine.
There is no place more beautiful than Idahome. Especially the Sawtooth mountains. You should visit sometime. Great for camping, hiking, fishing, and astrophotography! ✨✨
I am now working on my bus and just having a short break, you are so inspiring me to finish my bus ❤ there are so many places I realize I need to see. BTW sorry for my english I am filipino living in Arkansas.
Best of luck with your bus! We took many breaks while working on Clementine, so we definitely understand 😅
I couldn't help it but remember that B-52s song
"You're living in your own private Idaho
Living in your own private Idaho (oh)
Underground like a wild potato"
In Springfield, MO, right off I-44 going North on Glenstone is an old Sinclair gas station that has about 5 or 6 of these Jeep Waggoneers sitting by it for sale. It’s old H Hwy if you’re familiar with this part of the state. Anyhow, good hunting on finding a Jeep!
I thought I spotted clementine driving down a street in Boise...but I decided it couldn't be you guys! Now I'm sad I didnt say hi!! ❤️ Glad you loved the town we call home. 😊 You were right by our house!!
Oh Boise! More of The Endless Adventure! The best part of Monday! May the adventures never end!
🤣🙌
Hello Allison and Eric. I have actually been there at this time of year. I only saw it in passing on the Greyhound. In some states we got time to look at the Capitol buildings. They tended to be like that.
I envy you going at your own pace, but as a foreigner I had to get round US in the time on my visa. That looks like a great place that I enjoyed seeing more of, so thank you.
You just keep producing more and more great videos to watch. Ice cream potatoes though ummm.no thanks lol. I did see that there was a crazy brief time that everybody wanted mac and cheese ice cream
Glad you made it out of the potato alive! I'm sure you'll never forget that stay. The food all looks delicious. That was a sweet Wagoneer, about a 1980?
You can get ice wine in the Niagara valley next to the falls. Also in Germany.
Great video…ya’ll hit some amazing spots in my hometown. Like others have said, Boise is pronounced as “Boy-see”. There is no Z sound. Also, it’s great you went to WestSide Drive In…but no one around here calls them “steak fingers,” it’s fingersteaks.😁. Not trying to be snarky…just helpful. Looks like ya’ll had a full and fun day. Maybe next time, ya’ll can come in the summer and float the Boise River….such a fun experience to do it at least once.
greetings from boise! just came across ur channel, and u inspired me to visit alaska. great stuff!
Awesome! Alaska is a pretty dang magical state - we promise you'll have a blast!
That is a pretty interesting city 😊❤. See you next time ⏲️ adventurers 😊.
Hey guys! Icewine is a big thing in Southern Ontario, Niagara region. You should go to Niagara on the lake and go to wineries. It's an awesome area. But yeah, icewine is a dessert wine, like port wine.
Video editing is art!
Loved your adventure. Looks like a great city! ❤
Some of the murals in Freak Alley are actually replaced every year or two, and people apply to take part. Our son participated a couple of times when he was younger. Also, if you ask a native, it's pronounced bound rather than Boy-Z. Boise is a great place to live for the most part.
It's not "bound" . It's " BOY-see "
My auto correct changed it, and I didn't catch it. It was supposed to read "Boy-C" and not "bound."
You did your best.
Fun to see my home state in these videos - I moved to FL a couple of years ago, so it's been memory lane. Boise is a lot of fun, cool city - if you guys are still in Idaho consider heading up toward McCall and look into Burgdorf Hot Springs - you won't be disappointed.
Way to go Idaho! Eat a potato! 🤣.
You guys are the best!
I hope that someday you make it to Harrisburg, the capital of PA. Not only is there a good bit of local history and close proximity to Hershey, Lancaster (PA Dutch country) and Gettysburg, but it has what the Smithsonian labeled as the most beautiful capitol building in the country. It's well worth a tour, with marble, gold, bronze, stained glass, beautiful artwork and more!
Great video of my hometown! I no longer live there but have a lot of family still in the area. When I ate meat, Basque chorizo was one of my favorites!! So glad you all got to try it. Only one note from a former Boisean - Boise is pronounced with an "s" sound, not a "z" sound. Jewel even wrote a song about it! 😅 Thanks for all the great content! I always enjoy your videos! ❤
Omg I used to work at West side in the summers its so crazy seeing people eat the stuff I used to make lmao
I have never in my life seen anyone go that hard at an Anchovy. I was in shock ......Then the taste hit.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That was awesome.
Nice! I loved the look of those steak fries and that ice cream potato dish. The state capital building was cool as well regarding the architecture.
Rock on!
Loved the Freak Alley artwork, reminded me so much of Hosier Lane in Melbourne, AU. Hope you make a trip down under sometime.
With ❤, it's pronounced Boy- See, not BoiŹzzeee.
I love Chorizo too and have put down the place in Boise to try sometime. If the next time you pass through Portland, OR you are driving I215 near the Airport look up Gartner's Country Meat Market and get some of the Chorizo Brats. I lived across the Columbia River in Vancouver for about 20 years and since leaving one of a few foods I really really miss is the Chorizo Brats from Gartner's. They are a little spicy! Love your channel and never miss an episode. Keep it up!
Happy to have another chorizo enthusiast adventuring with us! Definitely try some at the market if you ever find yourself in Boise 🤤 and we'll for sure snag some the next time we're in Portland!
If you're interested in ice wine, the Canadian province of Ontario around Niagara falls is the capital of wineries who make that. Highly recommend a visit as the area is beautiful.
Nice! We'll for sure need to visit and try some. Thanks for tip!
As a Dane, I loved your awestruck comment that the Capitol building is a hundred years old WOW 🤗- not many similar buildings over here (Europe - for those who do not know what Denmark is) are younger ;-) ) - love your vids
Quite a few years ago we did a road trip around Idaho (threw a dart at a map and went where it landed). And I’m so glad you guys caught a good feel from Boise, we loved it too! Our favorite places were just random roadside hot springs and Craters of the Moon!
I visited Boise Idaho in 2018 it was pretty cool so different from California super cold but very cool place ❤❤❤❤
Ice wine is definitely a sipping wine. We actually serve it in liqueur glasses and that’s enough for us. There’s a lot of award winning ice wine made around Niagara on the Lake in Ontario Canada.
As a foodie I absolutely approve of your wonderful food finds. Ice cream that looks like a potato, who knew? Awesome video, God bless 🙏
I like Boise. It is the closest big city for us as we are in NE Oregon. We will be going next week for my birthday and I'm looking for a few new Boise adventures to experience.
Way to go, Ida-ho!
Fun fact: in the very first Toy Story movie, Hamm said that very same sentence to Mr. Potato Head after he did something extraordinary (I forget what). I found that so funny, I've been saying it ever since!
Thanks for another great video! Love the Wagoneer!
I live right here, and haven’t tried or visited many places as you shared!! I should check out!! 😂😅🤗 Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video. Interesting Basque connection. The name Boise sounds French - which would be pronounced "bwahz" here in France. I know that when we head out to the south west, we pass through a town called Amboise pron. "Om-bwahz", in the Loire chateau region.
That ice-cream potatoe was really cool.
Thanks for sharing the video
As someone from michigan ice wine is big in traverse city. We love it and even went to an ice wine dinner this year for ice wine weekend.
Watched your video and saw those candies and, with the help of Amazon, got some, very yummy. Thank you.
Where the potatoes are bigger than my dreams haha. But for real, that looks so yummy! I started wondering, "when is my travel dart would land in the US?" Hopefully, quite very soon!
If you're heading east and wind up in Idaho Falls there's a Mexican restaurant called Calakas Tacos & Miches you have to try. The best! Love Idaho.
Oh and Allison is the G.O.A.T...😅
You missed out on Eis Wine in Germany?? It’s big over there. We have some in the Finger Lakes area, too. For our wedding, we shipped MANY cases of Eis Wine from Germany (I was stationed there). It is NOT an Idaho thing. :-)
I had a Wagoneer, it was either a 64 or 67! It was in 76😁So there’s always a place in my heart for a Wagoneer! That one was pretty clean too!
Thanks LOVED the Potato.. OK,, FLORIDA awaits you guys
I like ice wine mixed with a hard cider. Very yummy. Too sweet just straight. ❤
Ooh that cocoa powder looks like hot chocolate mix, or Nestlé 's Quik ! I love Boise. There was a A&W right by the freeway at Overton overpass exit. It was great
Glad you guys had a great time! Besides the boy-see thing, they are called finger steaks not steak fingers. You missed out on the scones at Merritt's, maybe next time!😊
What a great place so much to see and do thank you again for an amazing adventure 😀😀
