Idaho is known for several unique and delicious types of food. From potato ice cream to anything (and everything!) huckleberry, the Gem State is a place of tasty cuisine. One entrée that got its start in Idaho is finger steaks. These delicious food items are made using long pieces of steak that are breaded and fried to perfection. While there are restaurants all around Idaho that serve finger steaks, each one seems to make these finger foods just a little bit different. Here are just four restaurants in Idaho that we recommend visiting to try this meal.
