Boise is making serious culinary waves—five local spots just landed James Beard Award semifinalist nods! From the cozy, ever-changing menu at Susina to the creative cocktails at Bar Please!, and the Basque flavors at Ansots, these places are putting our city on the national food map. Chefs Cal Elliott, Nathan Whitley, and Alex Cardoza are all in the running for Best Chef: Mountain, showing just how much talent is simmering here. With only two previous Idaho wins, this could be a big year. Which spot are you rooting for, and what’s your go-to dish? #Food #BoiseEats #JamesBeardAwards
