Hudson's Hamburgers - Coeur d'Alene, ID

A Huddy burger is cooked until it develops a light crust from the griddle but retains a high amount of juicyness inside. One in a bun with cheese and pickle chips makes a balanced sandwich. Two verge on overwhelming beefyness. There are no side dishes at all: no French fries, no chips, no slaw, not a leaf of lettuce in the house. In the century it has been open, Hudson's has honed its trade to simple hamburger perfection.
