Pops’ Smokin’ It is back in North Idaho. The barbecue food truck has been parked in Stateline since March, vending slow-cooked, smoked meats and sides such as baked beans and macaroni and cheese. Business picks up Friday and Saturday nights when Nashville North, the country music venue that shares its unpaved parking lot with the mobile food vendor, is open. But Pops’ Smokin’ It owner Darcy Brioso said things have been slower on weekdays. “We’re trying to drum up business,” said Brioso, 41. “There’s not a whole lot of eating places out here.” Out here is West Seltice and North Baugh ways, just north of Wal-Mart and east of Cabela’s off of the first exit in Idaho from Interstate 90/Adriana Janovich, SR.
