Hudson's - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Up for Idaho's best burger? Stop by Hudson's, a 100+ year old eatery, located in downtown Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They serve three things: burgers, pie, and soda. Pull up to one of the dozen or so stools and get yourself a double cheeseburger topped with only pickle and onion. Choose from Spicy mustard, spicy ketchup, or ketchup to top your expertly flattop cooked burgers. Similar to a smashed burger, they have a crisp outer texture with a juicy inside. I'd recommend the spicy mustard, or just leave it plain and bask in the simple burger joy. Hudson's Hamburgers 207n E. Sherman Ave. Coeur d'Alene, ID 208.664.5444

Betsy Cakes

Cupcakes make for my daughter's 4th birthday party by Sarah from Betsy Cakes here in Helena, Montana. Gluten Free treats for some of my daughter's gluten sensitive friends. They were most delicious treats.

Helena's best new lunch

Owner, Kathy Prendergast

Papa Tony's is one of the best new restaurants in town. Offering homemade Italian sandwiches and soups until 4pm (so far), this is some of the best of most loving food in town. I've been taking in the combo with an Italian Sausage patty and a handful of meatballs with their homemade vesuvio sauce and a choice of sweet, mild, or hot peppers. I tend to stick with the hot peppers, with an abundance of flavor and a proper heat setting it really knocks it out of the park. You get a choice of a bag of chips with your sandwich and the whole lunch, without drink, will run you $7.50-$8.50 for a massive sandwich. Her homemade soups are also quite delectable and vary from day to day, not to mention Kathy is quite the sweetheart.

Find your way up there soon, and tell them I sent you!
