Taste of River Street

Join us at the Erma Hayman House on Saturday, April 4, from 4-6 p.m. for a delicious afternoon honoring the diverse food traditions that shaped Boise’s River Street neighborhood.

This special gathering features a prix fixe menu created and curated by Chef Kevin Huelsmann of KIN, inspired by the River Street Center Cookbook, a compilation of former River Street resident recipes and culinary customs.

Originally compiled in the early 1970s as a fundraising effort by the River Street Neighborhood Center by Mrs. Dorothy Buckner, the River Street Center Cookbook offers a flavorful glimpse into the spirit and character of this historic neighborhood. Beautifully illustrated by Ria Campbell and Carolyn Perry, it remains a testament to a vibrant community and is available to explore in the Marge Ewing Room on the third floor of the Downtown Boise Library.

Chef Kevin’s menu brings these historic recipes into the present to reimagine tradition with fresh, seasonal ingredients and care.

Celebrate Boise’s shared history through a meal rich in memory and meaning.

Seating is limited—reserve your spot at the table today!

Tickets are $45 and include a three-course prix fixe meal and drinks. Gluten-free and vegan options are available.
