NI Blogs: Top ‘11 Restaurant Stories

On the restaurant scene, OrangeTV/Get Out! North Idaho ranks the cupcake wars in downtown Sherman as one of the top stories. You can see how OTV ranks the local top stories in the two links directly below.

2011 wasn’t necessarily a year to shoot off a bunch of expensive fireworks into the midnight sky about (whoops, don’t tell Duane Hagadone that !), but as per usual there was a lot of action happening on the local restaurant and nightclub scene. Openings, transformations, and transgressions kept our forks full and our martinis loaded  in a year filled with tsunamis, Occupiers, evaporating dollar bills, McEuen Park drama queens, and too much brain-meltingly bad pop music (Ke$ha, LMFAO, etc.) to even remember/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here and here.
