Cheers, Boise! ๐ป We're now serving draft beer and wine at our Parkcenter location! With temps nearing 100 today, there's no better way to cool off than with a cold one on our patio. ๐บ๐ท
We are getting close! The answer to yesterdayโs hint was โwave.โ Some of you guessed it however that was the answer to the hint, but not the theme of the cake โบ๏ธ
Chef Louโs going to give two final hints that should help you get across the finish line! Remember, first person to post the theme of the cake wins a $50 Westside Gift Card!
1st Hint
I am gentle enough to soothe your skin , light enough to fly in the sky, strong enough to crack rocks. What am I?
2nd Hint
I consist of grassy areas, rocks, soil and trees, but may also contain buildings and charge a fee.
I have benches for sitting and picnic tables and for eating. What am I?
We've had some great guesses so far! However we have yet to see the correct answer! To help, Chef Lou created this little riddle for you....
I rise and fall at the push of the moon; to surf upon me is to ride a dune. What am I?
Chef Lou's favorite pastime is baking his grandkids' extravagant birthday cakes!๐ This year, we want to have a little fun with a contest to see who can guess what Lou's grandson, Maddox's, cake will be. Chef Lou is whipping up something special. Can you guess the theme? Leave a comment below with your guess, and the winner will receive a $50 gift card! We'll announce the winner on Tuesday the 16th.
Hint: Maddox is turning 9. Join the fun and take a guess!
