Wheelers Handout

I've talked before about how rarely I make it to downtown Boise for food, but I make it out to Nampa even less despite the fact that one of my favorite Treasure Valley Chinese restaurants and my all-time favorite taco truck are located there.  When I was just a wee lad though, we used to head out to Nampa fairly often because, well, Karcher was the only mall back then.  That's how I discovered and fell in love with the chocolate malts at Wheelers.  So far as I've found to this very day, they still have the maltiest malts in the Valley.  And their burgers?  I used to describe them as "greaseburgers".  They were ridiculously juicy, the kind of thing you wrapped deli paper, napkins or anything else around while you ate it so as not to make a total mess of yourself.  As I got older and Boise and Meridian really came into their own, I made the trek to Nampa less and less.  Recently, Wheelers was the daily deal on Boise.biz, so I snapped one up and made the journey one afternoon after work.  You know how they say you can't go home again?  Sometimes you just shouldn't even try.
