Boy, the other candidates must have been really bad!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Such is the case, I mostly find, with restaurants that are rated as the #1 rated place in &#8220;reader&#8217;s polls&#8221; and the like.  I think in the future, I will make it a point only to go to the #10 place on a list.  This reminds me of the local enthusiasm for &#8220;Dick&#8217;s&#8221; in Seattle, which I also panned.  Dick&#8217;s is also in Spokane, so the fact D.Lish beats it here, says something, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>D.Lish, a Spokane burger place in a former Wendy&#8217;s building, is constantly rated as Spokane&#8217;s &#8220;best&#8221; or &#8220;favorite&#8221; in a number of categories, but for the life of me, I can&#8217;t understand why.<\/p>\n<p>Online reviews must have been completed by employees.This was a very ordinary burger<br \/>\ndistinguished only by the slice of onion that was as large as the burger patty.<\/p>\n<p>One could also choose the D Lish meal (double meat, double cheese burger)or  the &#8220;Monster&#8221;, which was 4 patties, 4 slices of cheese. Wonder if you get four slices of onion, too?  I&#8217;ll never<br \/>\nfind out, but I did head across the s street to check out competitor Zip&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=spokane,+wa++d+lish&amp;sll=45.444174,-122.726008&amp;sspn=0.011141,0.023239&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=d+lish&amp;hnear=Spokane,+WA&amp;ll=47.681801,-117.40737&amp;spn=0.042769,0.092955&amp;z=14&amp;iwloc=A&amp;cid=18429894035577772600&amp;output=embed\"><\/iframe><br \/><small><a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=spokane,+wa++d+lish&amp;sll=45.444174,-122.726008&amp;sspn=0.011141,0.023239&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=d+lish&amp;hnear=Spokane,+WA&amp;ll=47.681801,-117.40737&amp;spn=0.042769,0.092955&amp;z=14&amp;iwloc=A&amp;cid=18429894035577772600\" style=\"color:#0000FF;text-align:left\">View Larger Map<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/dlish2-png.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/dlish2-png.png\" alt=\"dlish2 png\" title=\"dlish2 png\" width=\"450\" height=\"305\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1520\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/dlish-1-png.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/dlish-1-png.png\" alt=\"dlish 1 png\" title=\"dlish 1 png\" width=\"480\" height=\"527\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1521\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/291\/1252292\/restaurant\/D-Lishs-Great-Hamburgers-Spokane\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"D Lish's Great Hamburgers on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/1252292\/biglink.gif\" style=\"border:none;width:200px;height:146px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eating at D.Lish, I was reminded of a comedy routine of Chris Rock, talking about the former Mayor of Washington DC.
