OTV Previews New Restaurant Trifecta

I grew up a 4 minute bike ride away from Ponderosa Springs Golf Course and spent much of my youth hiding in the bushes that cover the little creek that runs between it and French Gulch Road. The memories are generally fond, barring the time I went wading in the creek and came out with little brown leeches clung to my leg, much to my mother's horror and dismay. My mom's best friend used to run the bar inside the clubhouse of the vintage 9-hole course, and when she married my stepdad almost 15 years ago, it's where they had their wedding reception party. My cousins and I got drunk and danced to the Ray Stone Band with the old ladies of the family. Good times. So I was delighted to find out recently that the old clubhouse re-opened last week as the Backwoods Grill/OrangeTV, Get Out! North Idaho. More here.

Question: Is there a type of restaurant that you think is still missing from North Idaho?
