Viral Post Inspires Idahoans to Support Beloved Burger Drive-In

All it takes is one post. One single post on the world wide web and suddenly--you can go from nobody to somebody. A viral sensation!

In a sense, that's what happened here in the Treasure Valley recently--all because of the internet.

The difference? The 'viral sensation' was already quite popular here in Boise.

Perhaps you saw it--a local Facebook post went up challenging folks to 'make this post go viral'--and it was all about one of the area's most legendary burger joints. Established in the area since the early 1960's, the post expressed that they're feeling the pinch of 'McCorporations' or national burger chains moving into town and getting all of the hype.

Have you ever eaten at Golden Wheel?

Let's take a look at the local, online reaction surrounding this place!

Have you ever stoped by the popular 'old school' drive in? 

There's certainly nothing fancy about the popular burger joint--but that's what makes it so special! We'll skip the fancy lights and major logos--just give us the local goods!

The post, while not 'too viral' saw nearly a thousand shares on Facebook in just a matter or days.

We understand there is plenty of hype around the opening of some new In-N-Out's among other already popular fast-food destinations but how about going by a local favorite, instead? We promise you'll taste the difference.

Golden Wheel is located at 11100 W Fairview Avenue in Boise.

Idaho really is home to some great burger joints and we'll take all of them over any national chain that comes marching into town. Do you remember last summer when some music icons rolled through and shared with the internet that they stopped in Boise...just for a burger!? 

What do you think about Boise Fry Co!?
