I just read the entire article and noticed this bit of news (http://www.foodandwine.com/travel/ba...ho-restaurants )

Dan sold both of the businesses to refocus on teaching, playing music and his kids, but he’s about to modernize the city’s Basque dining scene again this spring when he opens Txikiteo near trendy The Modern Hotel & Bar. The formerly run-down Guest Lodge is nationally acclaimed for its on point cocktails and updated Northwest cuisine by James Beard Award semifinalist chef Nate Whitley.

In conjunction with the Modern’s owner, hotelier Elizabeth Tullis, another Basque descendent of the boarding house tradition, the chic new tapas and wine bar will offer an array of Western European fare, about half of which will be Basque influenced, including some old Ansotegui family recipes like Epi’s chorizo.

Like the city itself, this upcoming steel, concrete and reclaimed wood-filled spot will cater to Boise’s consistently growing fashionable millennial crowd.

Dan and Tullis hope to open the doors in March before artists like Princess Nokia, Pussy Riot and Galactic descend on the city for Treefort Music Festival, so they can expand their annual Indie music show and Basque-style roast lamb party that’s earned the moniker “Burning Lamb.”

Txikiteo is a new eatery in downtown Boise – opening March 2018 – at the corner of Idaho & 14th streets

Txikiteo, in Basque, means the feeling of the pub crawl, of sharing wine and tapas with friends, and from there — who knows where the night might lead?
