A national article from the Wall Street Journal was listing off surprising cities to find great restaurants and Spokane Washington was on the list. It was unexpected to see Spokane on the list because I was born there, but have never heard of these restaurants.

Spokane is close so if you are looking for a little stay-cation, take the 2 hour drive and check these restaurants out!
