"I believe that the great American hamburger is a thing of beauty, its simple charms noble, pristine. The basic recipe--ground beef, salt, and pepper, formed into a patty, grilled or seared on a griddle, then nestled between two halves of a bun, usually but not necessarily accompanied by lettuce, a tomato slice, and some ketchup--is, to my mind, unimprovable by man or God. A good burger can be made more complicated, even more interesting by the addition of other ingredients--like good cheese or bacon.....relish perhaps, but it will never be made better." - Anthony Bourdain, from the chapter entitled 'Meat', in his book Medium Raw.

Conestoga Golf Club (Mesquite, NV)















It's so hard to find a good restaurant in Mesquite, but I think I've finally found the answer: the golf clubs! I hate the restaurants in the casinos because of all the cigarette smoke and the other restaurants in town seem to only be fast food types. The last time I was there I stumbled across the restaurants at the golf clubs. They tend to close early and only serve sandwiches, soups, and salads, but I think that's a small price to pay for a tasty meal.

This is the called the 1880 Burger (the restaurant is called the 1880 Grille) and it comes with tobacco onions and sharp cheddar cheese and is served on a brioche bun. You can get it in two sizes: a 1/2 pound for $8.99 or a 1/3 pound for $6.99.
