Grill & Chill: Top 10 Must-Try Burger Spots to Cross off Your Boise Bucket List with Guest Blogger BurgerBOI
It’s National Hamburger Month and what better way to celebrate than to give you some of my favorite spots to grab a burger here in the City of Trees!
Now...before we get into that...a little bit about myself:
I started my #burgerjourney and created BurgerBOI (www.burgerboiboise.com) in the midst of COVID. I’ve always wanted to find a way to share my passion and creativity, as well as, bring attention to all of the great burger options that Boise and the rest of the Treasure Valley has to offer. As terrible as the pandemic has been, it actually gave me the time to catapult my ideas into fruition!
BurgerBOI has been an incredible outlet. It has allowed me to flex my culinary ingenuity, as well as, give me the opportunity to connect with some really AMAZING people. It has also given me the platform to encourage people to support/buy/shop local; which is more important now than ever!
Now...before I give you the deets, I must say this:
By NO MEANS is this list EXCLUSIVE! There are SO MANY great and delicious options here in the Treasure Valley and I have yet to check them all out! It’s my hopes that you will use this list as a guide to where you can find a great burger and build upon what I call your own “Burger Journey”
