At Boise, Idaho’s Alavita, they believe great food need not be too convoluted or overwrought, but rather fresh, uncomplicated, relatable and well executed to get out of the way of the local ingredients and find pleasure in their natural flavors and qualities.

Boise may not be a typical vacation destination, and most may not know much about the city except that it’s the capital of Idaho, or that the football field has blue turf. However, there’s a lot more to Boise than you may realize.

Boise restaurants Fork and ALAVITA asked the community to nominate local nonprofits to receive a donation from the restaurants’ Corkage for Community Fund.

Fork and ALAVITA restaurants in Boise are accepting nominations through Monday for a $5,000 donation from their Corkage for Community Fund. The donation will go to deserving Treasure Valley not-for-profit organization.
