On Wednesday, I drove to Post Falls and ate some really great hospital food. I’m not joking. The grub at Northwest Specialty Hospital, 1593 E. Polston Ave., is in a galaxy far, far away from the stereotypical slop that has made hospital food such a running gag. On Tuesday, for example, the lunch menu offered tenderloin medallions and lobster ravioli. The best part of all is that Northwest Specialty meals run $5 or less. Of course, there’s a catch. Isn’t there always? You can’t just walk in off the street and chow down. You have to be connected to the hospital À la staff, a patient or a patient’s family member or friends. Then you can dig into fabulous fare like Chilean sea bass, polenta with eggplant caponata, wonton-wrapped shrimp … The idea is to make your stay in the hospital more bearable/Doug Clark, SR.

Question: Which area hospital serves the best food?
