"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.

Lee's Tavern (Mesquite, NV)

Lee's Tavern is next door to Lee's Discount Liquor and the restaurant also has a casino/bar.  The restaurant portion is non-smoking but the casino/bar area allows smoking.  There are doors between the two areas to maintain a smoke-free restaurant but on the day we were there, the doors were propped open.  It's hard to find a non-smoking restaurant in Mesquite, so this is as close as it gets.  The food was good and inexpensive and the people were really nice.
