SubscribeThe name of a Boise, Idaho (or I-da-ho, as I like to call it) restaurant is the subject of a neighborhood’s fury. You see, the name of said restaurant is–get ready for this one–Boobies. But the owners say people have got the wrong idea. The name is a tribute to the owner’s 13-year-old dog, named Boobie. Even the kids know better. They interviewed local rabble-rouser nine-year-old Dalton Mehl, “My sister told [me] about it, and everybody on the bus started yelling ‘boobies’ on the bus,” he said. He didn’t mention what school kids yell when they drive by Hooters, though. “That’s why we’ve got pictures of Boobie up on the walls,” Foldesi said. “Everybody’s entilted to their opinion. This is America.” Boobie, the dog Dalton, yells “Boobies.” Shrimp Gumbo Fridays at Boobies. 
Partners Debbie Smith and David Foldesi said it wasn’t their intention to offend anyone.
