Our Turn: Best of Boise 2011 Staff Picks 

BW Editorial's take on the Best of Boise

Editors' Picks

Like sands through an hourglass, these are the BOBs of our lives. Melodramatic, sure, but so is every issue of Best of Boise--the raw emotion, the anticipation, the competition, the cat fights, the sleeping with someone who turns out to be your long-lost half-sibling who is about to screw you out of your inheritance ...

But Boise Weekly's two Best of Boise issues remain both the most popular and the most contentious issues we publish every year. This, the first of the two, is the Staff Picks edition, filled with those things we in the BW editorial department think deserve a little extra attention.

We spend all year running around this fine valley of ours, attending cultural events, covering the big news stories and otherwise experiencing life in Boise from a perspective few others have. This Best of Boise edition represents our chance to highlight the people, places, things and events that might otherwise go unnoticed amid all the worthy honorees to be found throughout the Treasure Valley.

Next week, in the Sept. 28 edition of BW, readers will have their chance to decree what is absolutely and inarguably the very best this community has to offer in the much-anticipated Readers' Choice issue. Whether you agree or disagree with the results, isn't the drama what makes it all so much fun?

To Whom This May Concern:

Hello!
Thank you for your hard work and great job you do so well.
I would like to vote for "Pad Thai House" on Franklin Street and Five
Mile in the small strip mall, for having the #1 best Thai Food in Boise
and in the Universe. (This excludes the Multiverse which is much
larger.)

Thank you again.

To Whom This May Concern:

Hello again! I appreciate your sincere commitment to a job well done that you
do so well.
I would like to vote for "Bombay Grill" in downtown Boise for having the #1 best
Indian Food in Boise and on the planet of Earth. They are truly: supercalifragilistic-
exbealidocious.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

I would like to comment that this apears to be a popularity contest where businesses get all their buddies to vote since the results are outstandingly amazing. Really, Hannifin's? That place doesn't even qualify as a cigar shop. Sturmans is the only one you have on the list that is even what i could consider a real cigar shop?? Hanifins sells playboys and cigaretts. What a joke!
