STORIES from BOISE
Red, gold, russet, sweet, or purple? Regular, homestyle, curly, shoestring, or po’ ball? And that’s before you even get to the wall of salts and sauces.

After years of freelance writing for other people, I wanted to write stories in my own voice and about things I actually cared about.
