It's been a busy year for the Treasure Valley's 'food and beverage' scene. Over the past 12-months, there were lots of restaurant and bar closures--but it seems for ever closure came an opening. Whether it was an all new chain coming to Idaho for the first time ever or someone taking a stab at a local flavor that could become the next local favorite.

We hate seeing local spots close--but amidst the inertia of business in Boise over the past year and beyond, there's an elite group of restaurants that have really figured out their followings.

We took to Facebook to ask people--what are those restaurants in Boise that you love SO much, if there's a wait, you don't care-- even if it's for an hour or more.

Take a look at what you said when we asked 'which Boise restaurants are always worth the wait'?
