Cosmic Pizza

2/9/14 - Edit: Something weird is going on with this place.  Apparently they've changed ownership yet again and their Facebook page is promising pizza that is "less Cosmic, more New York".  This really bums me out since we have plenty of NY style pizza here, but I guess we'll see what they put out starting next month...

I have a few hang-ups when it comes to the whole writing up restaurants thing.  One of them is that if there's a particular dish that gets the majority of people's attention at a place, I feel like I have to try something different.  Of course, sometimes exceptions have to be made, and that's why when I finally got around to trying Cosmic Pizza, there was absolutely no question what I was going to get.  If you've been there and you know anything about my tastes, you probably have a pretty good idea what I ordered.  If you're unsure, I got the same thing that everyone else who has written about them got, so I'll understand if you're sick of hearing about it.  If you haven't made it there yet and we have anything in common, I might just be able to sway you...

The Chef's Hut Cafe

I'm sure a lot of you have had the experience of hearing about a place over and over again for years, but for whatever reason have never gotten around to actually trying it.  Even though I've spent the majority of my life in the Boise area, there are still a lot of old restaurants I have yet to set foot in.  Every once in a while, I'll be overwhelmed with a sudden conviction that I must try one of those places, and NOW.  Recently I had that feeling about The Chef's Hut Cafe,  which has been in existence just about as long as I have.  And just like me, the place is something of a mixed bag...
