Donn’s Hilltop Kodiak Grill on East Highway 21 southeast of Boise sits at the Hilltop Station, a roadside stop in the Boise foothills that combines a gas station, a convenience store, and a restaurant in the kind of unlikely combination that Triple D was built to find. It appeared in Season 6, Episode 11 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Old Time Favorites,” which aired June 22, 2009. Guy Fieri found a roadside grill producing American comfort food — burgers, steaks, and the Idaho-specific comfort food traditions — at a level that justifies the drive out of town to get there.
