The first availability report of the Oregon Ducks football in the Big Ten Conference era is here.

For those unaware, the Big Ten began requiring availability reports for all sports last year. The report is due two hours before the start of the contest.

The two categories are “out” and “questionable”.

The Ducks have six players that are officially out for the season opener against Idaho: defensive back Jahlil Florence, defensive back Dakoda Fields, defensive back Ify Obidegwu, offensive lineman Dave Iuli, tight end Travis Brashear, and defensive lineman My’Keil Gardner.

Three players are questionable, meaning they could play but it is likely they don’t. Those Ducks that are questionable are wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr., offensive lineman Matthew Bedford, and kicker Andrew Boyle.

Oregon opens the season against the Idaho Vandals at 4:30 p.m. PDT. The game is set to be televised on Big Ten Network.

La Casita Mexican Food owner Marcial Mejia has won three Best New Entrée titles at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Check out three of his top-selling meals in the video above.

BLACKFOOT — The “Feeding Frenzy” is kicking off at the Eastern Idaho State Fair, and this year, we’re back with a visit to an all-time fan favorite: La Casita Mexican Food. Owner Marcial Mejia has delighted fair-goers with his delicious, authentic Mexican food for 21 years.

The three-time Best New Entrée award winner boasts an extensive menu guaranteed to satisfy your keenest Mexican food cravings. La Casita owners promise to deliver maximum flavor and incredible portions at affordable prices every time.

Mejia presented three of his top dishes to EastIdahoNews.com at the fair on Friday.

Carne Asada Tacono

For a portable Mexican meal in an American waffle cone, try the Carne Asada Tacono. This yummy twist on a classic ice cream cone comes packed with carne asada, pico de gallo, sour cream and fresh lime.

Spicy Pork Paradise

Second, Mejia shared his favorite, the Spicy Pork Paradise – corn tortillas packed with piping hot spicy pork served with rice, consommé, onions, cilantro and lime. The tortillas dipped in the consommé sauce are exquisite!

Gourmet Stuffed Nacho Bites

Finally, Mejia recommends this year’s newest entrée, the Gourmet Stuffed Nacho Bites – corn tortillas cut in half, folded and filled with carne asada, shredded Monterey cheese and jalapeños. The nachos are covered in sour cream, guacamole and sauce with a side of beans.

“It kind of explodes in your mouth,” Mejia said.

Located at the back of the food court across from Pick Me Up, La Casita’s is one stop at the fair you won’t want to miss. Check out their other delicious offerings – including cheesecake, strawberry or banana chocolate kabobs for dessert!

Super Chili Tri-tip Nachos at Santa Maria Style Grilling | Jordan Wood, EastIdahoNews.com

IDAHO FALLS – A mother-son duo is bringing authentic California barbecue to Idaho Falls.

Gabriel Huitron and his mother, Nancy Santos, are co-owners of Santa Maria Style Grilling. The Santa Maria, California, natives began their barbecue business in Idaho as a food truck.

The duo opened the brick-and-mortar location in April. Their dedication to crafting authentic Santa Maria barbecue has drawn customers from around the country to get a taste.

EastIdahoNews.com tried the Peanut Butter Bacon Burger, the Famous Tri-tip Sandwich, and the Super Chili Tri-tip Nachos during our visit.

The Peanut Butter Bacon Burger is complete with a gourmet bun, peanut butter, havarti cheese, bacon, and caramel.

The Famous Tri-tip Sandwich is a must-have for Santa Maria barbecue. The tri-tip is slow-cooked for an hour and a half over red oak wood to bring the authentic smokey flavor.

If you are extra hungry, the Super Chili Tri-tip Nachos will fill you up. The homemade chili beans recipe goes back three generations, with chorizo and ground beef. For meat, customers have a choice of tri-tip or chicken. To top it off, the nachos have a light drizzle of sour cream.

Santa Maria-style barbecue dates back to the 1850s when the Spanish began settling on the central coast. They encountered Chumash natives, who cooked their food in a large open hole in the ground. The Spanish introduced metal rods to the cooking style, which eventually evolved into the barbecue pit Santa Maria locals swear by.

Santa Maria Style Grilling is at 7953 25th East in Idaho Falls. Visit its website and see a menu here.
