Dear AHT: The Nugget Diner in Reno, Nevada

Posted by Robyn Lee, November 10, 2008 at 10:00 AM

Clicking in to the AHT inbox recently, we've got this bit of juicy intel. Eat up!

I notice you have no hamburger source in Nevada....until now. In the back of one of Reno's more funky casinos, The Nugget, is a dive called Diner where they serve a thing called the Awful Awful Burger atop about two pounds of fries, all for six bucks. It's famous in the area, where occasionally it serves to make you feel like a winner. (A slice of raw onion is in there somewhere.)

Thanks for the tip, Anne! It looks like the Nugget Diner is known to many as having the best burger in Reno after looking at their Myspace page. The name "Awful Awful" comes from the shortened version of "Awful big and awful good." The restaurant is conveniently open 24 hours a day so you can get your burger on whenever you want.
