bambino is “a flaky, crispy warm food
pocket, filled with delicious ingredients.”
Manuca and Bob Pickett, Ryan’s
parents, created the bambino, 30 years
ago at their family-owned pizza shop,
when they were living in Rigby, Idaho.
Years later, Ryan Pickett took the
bambino idea and formed a new idea for
a restaurant around it, and it worked.
“When the bambino was introduced
in Rigby, people loved it, but as the years
went on people moved away,” Pickett
said. “When the location in Rigby
opened, people were driving from all
over to eat at our restaurant.”
Pickett also said that people started
mentioning to him that he should open
more locations of Pickett’s Bambino in
other areas.
Prior to opening the Rexburg
location, Pickett’s Bambino has been
involved in serving food to the Madison
school lunch program, as well as at
BYU-Idaho for a short time.
Pickett’s Bambino is now open in
Rexburg. The restaurant serves several
flavors of bambinos, from chicken ranch
to aloha to barbeque. The restaurant
also serves fries, curly fries, salads, soft
drinks and dessert.
About opening a location in
Rexburg, Ryan also said “Many people
often say that there is a lack of variety
landing,” Civil Aviation Minister Praful
Patel told the CNN-IBN television news
channel.“You can’t rule out a human
error factor,” Patel said.
Only an inquiry could establish
what exactly went wrong as the aircraft
overshot the hilltop runway and crashed
and plunged over a cliff and into a ravine
at dawn Saturday on the outskirts of the
southern Indian city of Mangalore,
he said.Of the 166 passengers and crew
aboard, only eight people survived.

Falls opened earlier this year. Ryan
Pickett, of the Pickett family who owns
the Pickett’s Bambino franchise, said,
“I am glad that we are incorporating
Pickett’s Bambino into Rexburg.”
According to the Pickett’s Bambino
“When the location in Rigby
opened, people were driving
from all over to eat at our
restaurant.”

an Air India Boeing 737-800 plane that
killed 158 people over the weekend,

BARATARIA BAY, La. – The BP
executive in charge of fighting the Gulf
of Mexico oil spill said Monday his
company knows people are frustrated
by its failure to plug the well that has
been gushing for more than a month
and is now spreading damage through
Louisiana’s wetlands.
Doug Suttles, chief operating officer
at BP PLC, went on all three U.S.
network morning talk shows with the
same message: “We are doing everything
we can, everything I know,” he said on
NBC’s “Today” show.
Millions of gallons of oil have already
spewed from the well that blew out after
a drilling rig exploded April 20 off the
Louisiana coast. Company spokesman
John Curry said it will be at least
Wednesday before BP will try using
heavy mud and cement to plug the leak.
