Review: Scrud’s Gourmet Burgers

The patties served up at Coeur d'Alene's Scrud's Gourmet Burgers would give my grandma a moment of pause and a mildly jaundiced eye. Just like hers, these babies are hand-formed and thick, but not thick enough to have that sense of meatloaf-esque overkill that some places like to do (hi, Nosworthys). Just like hers, they're moist and juicy without being total grease bombs, and there's a certain deep auburn richness to the flavor of a well cooked beef patty that they both have in common. Naturally, there's somewhat of an unavoidable giggle factor to the name Scrud's/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here.

Question: Is there room in Coeur d'Alene area for another hamburger joint?
