EAGLE

The Culinary Gem of Idaho

By Winter Warchol

Called the “Gem State,” Idaho is home to 72 types of precious stones, abundant recreation, and world renowned movie stars—and still, our food scene is the real diamond in the rough. With a bounty of makers, bakers, farmlands, and ranches, the Treasure Valley culinary scene is brimming with local ingredients, experimental flavors, and standout dishes that you won’t find anywhere else.

Eagle, Idaho is no exception. From fine dining to fast food, this growing city’s restaurants absolutely shine.

Whether you’re looking for a work brunch or a celebratory dinner, Crave uses quality ingredients that allow each dish to stand out in depth of flavor and presentation.
