Hudson’s Not On ‘Diners, Drive-ins & Dives’

Many of you already know that it was recently confirmed that host Guy Fieri and crew will be cruising into the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area some time in August. I've heard that Spokane reastaurants will be the main  focus of the show, but that they will be crossing the state line to Idaho to do a shoot at just one location. The mystery at this point is which eatery will be lucky enough to get the Food Network spotlight from the spiky-haired kind of Flavortown. I've spoken with a Hudson's Hamburgers employee who told me that despite several years of wooing and begging from the producers of the show, Hudson's will not be featured due to the fact that they wanted the 101-year-old burger mecca to cough up the "secret" recipes for their famous spicy ketchup and mustard. Well, the nerve/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here. (OTV suspects Cataldo's Mission Inn, pictured, may be featured)

Question: Which North Idaho eatery/eateries should be featured on "Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives"?
