Steak and potatoes, or is it potatoes and steak? In the Gem State, the potato always gets the top billing. Before folks went vegan or carbless, steak and potatoes were the fuel that fed the nation. No one ever looked forward to eating beans and rice like they did or do for steak and potatoes.
Idahoans do love their meat, especially barbecue. Idaho’s second-largest city, Meridian, will be honoring those carnivores and carboholics Saturday at Kleiner Park from 9 am to 9 pm. It is the first of many Idaho Meat and Tater BBQ Fest.

The event is free, featuring live music, barbecue competitions, a car show, food, a kids zone, beer gardens, bands, a DJ, and other activities, including a pancake breakfast from the Meridian Lions Club.
