That is one heck of a burger.  We have a contender here as well, although
its a little more of a cheeseburger purist thing.  It's called the "Awful
Awful".  Its served, the real one that is, at the Reno Nugget, downtown
on Virginia St, between Second and Third.  1/2lb patty on a toasted bun
with a couple slices of american cheese, your choice of the rest, sitting
on a basket buried in fries, about 2-1/2" deep.  Its all served in a
diner setting, right out of the 50's and I mean really right out of the
50's, not a recreation, about the size of a modern kitchen, with maybe a
dozen stools.  Its in the back of a dark smoke filled casino that has
definitely seen better days....
