Famous Foods
Boise, ID – Oscar Mayer makes famous bologna, bacon, and of course, wieners. Idaho is famous for another type of food: potatoes. In my travels, I’ve learned that putting the latter on top of the former results in a delicious combination!
When we rolled into Idaho, the first thing we had to learn was the pronunciation of the name of its capitol city! I was embarrassed to learn I’ve been saying it wrong all my life. Boise is pronounced by the locals as “Boy-See,” and if you want people to quickly know you’re from out of town, you throw in a “z” sound!
We adapted quickly though and we had a great time in the land of “Famous Potatoes!”

How do we get the Wienermobile to our city? And can we specify when we want it to come? Does it make day care appearances? Please advise…
Thanks,
