631778 Thu Jun 25 19:46:02 -0700 2009 8 25 Elsewhere In America 0 4807169 This July we are driving from Carson City (NV) to, perhaps, Twin Falls (ID) in a day, taking Hwys 80 and 93. A long day. And the next day we will head up hwys 84, 88, 15 and 20 through West Yellowstone on our way to Tower Junction/Roosevelt. Anyone have a recommendation for spots between Winnemucca and West Yellowstone? We are especially interested in a good local lunch or dinner place in Elko, a dinner or breakfast gem in Twin Falls, a lunch place in West Yellowstone and any suggestions for Yellowstone Park. Hints on other fabulous spots along the way are welcome, too! Thanks!

Thanks Thu Jun 25 20:09:31 -0700 2009 4807187 70253 kabocha 3 4807395 But I'd still love to hear about Twin Falls, if anyone has any ideas. Thanks.

Don't know anything in Twin Falls but would love suggestions- we're driving through there too! Sat Jun 27 21:08:26 -0700 2009 4807395 1089160 kidmedusa 1 4816039 Try the Buffalo Cafe in Twin Falls. It is in the industrial part of Old downtown. I grew up in Twin, and moved to LA, but the Buffalo still is in my memory as a great breakfast. Biscuits and country sausage gravy used to be the bomb.

Local beef, where you cook it yourself on 2 grills in the back. Had a great porterhouse. If you have no problem preparing the steak, you won't be disappointed. Salads and sides are prepared by the proprietor, a nice woman- forgot her name. A short drive to the Western YS entrance, a couple of miles north- I think off 287.

I always pay my respects to "White King" at the Commercial Hotel in Elko, usually at lunch, and I always have a steak at Eino's. http://www.commercialcasinos.com/nevada/white_king.html Tue Jun 30 21:15:06 -0700 2009 4816835 14128 BN1 4 4821706 Sounds like some good spots. Thanks so much! If anyone else has some other ideas, I welcome them. We aren't leaving until the 11th of July. Wed Jul 01 11:29:27 -0700 2009 4820134 70253 kabocha
