If you ever end up in Reno, Nevada, and have hunger pangs . . . I mean real hunger pangs . . . stop in at a little joint on Virginia Street in the heart of downtown called The Nugget. It's a dingy little casino with a greasy spoon diner in the rear. Order an Awful, Awful. But be really hungry or have a friend to share with. The name refers not to the quality of the food but "Awful Big" and "Awful Good". You'll get a half pound burger with all kinds of toppings and a full pound of fries. The ambience is not all that great but the food is good. Only by asking a local can you find such a place.
