This Sunday is Easter, so you might be readying for church and/or brunch (some recommendations here). But it’s also an unofficial holiday for a side of Boise that doesn’t get talked about a lot because … well, even though so many Boiseans enjoy marijuana, it is illegal in Idaho.
Whether you’re one of the Treasure Valley residents contributing a majority of Ontario, Oregon’s marijuana sales — which amounted to almost $100 million in 2023 — or if you’re just wanting to indulge your cravings, we rounded up some munchies.
And for everyone who celebrates both Easter and 420, congrats on your big double holiday.
Takeout and Delivery
Save yourself from Del Taco or Taco Bell and go with Fiesta Chicken instead. Its grilled chicken, Mexican fast food mains, and BBQ-adjacent sides make a pretty incomparable roster when the cravings hit. Plus, they’ve got a drive through!
For other options that you can hit on your way home or get delivered, some of the City Cast Boise crew broke down our favorite takeout options a couple months ago. We love Golden Palace and Canton Cafe in Caldwell, Red Fort and Be Thai in Meridian, and Nahm Thai and Burmese and Mount Everest Momo Cafe in Boise. That’s a lot of options, but they’re sure to not disappoint!
Ask a friend to grab you a Wyld Child burger on their way over, and you’ll be in heaven — especially if you can eat it outdoors. (Blake Hunter / City Cast Boise)
Stock Up on Snacks
Sometimes a round robin-style snack platter is the way to go, and it’s extra fun to bring in special new snacks to supplement your staples. The Boise Co-Op might have something new for you to try, especially in the pickles and sodas department.
Also, don’t sleep on the World Market’s food selection — they have a ton of different candies and sweets to try.
