Noshin' With The Bard
There are few things more quintessentially Boisean than attending a performance of the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. It's not just that the company puts on a tremendous show, but beyond the backdrop of the drama itself is the equally dramatic setting of Southeast Boise. I mean, how many people can simultaneously lose themselves in the fantasy of Twelfth Night and the larger spectacle of crimson foothills, soaring raptors, or the plaintiff cries of migrating geese? Come to think of it, however, we're not sure that Old Bill would have relished that sort of competition. Regardless, the performers of Idaho Shakespeare Festival are seldom upstaged by Nature. After all, as The Bard said, "the play is the thing".
We might, however, beg to differ on one small point. Dining at an Idaho Shakespeare performance may not be THE thing...but it's definitely an important part of the experience. A feast for the eyes and the imagination is only enhanced by what you pack in your wicker hamper. And at The Brick Oven Bistro, we can put some star power in that picnic basket.
If you really want to impress your friends and family with a culinary sensibility to match your cultural proclivities, just give us a call and order a picnic meal to go. We'll give you the lowdown on our specials, or you can just order a tried and true favorite from our Bistro Club to our Citrus Chicken. Oh...and don't forget, nothing wards off the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" like our bread pudding for dessert 
Finally...and we tread delicately on this point...there is a certain self-indulgent satisfaction in the envious stares you'll attract from your neighbors when, as they prepare to plunge into that tub of Colonel Bucket's Chicken Blasphemies, they glance over at the San Francisco Beef Salad Sandwich your lift toward your eager lips. We're not advocating culinary one upmanship, but hey, someone has to set a good example, right?
