Every great food city has its secret handshakes — the dish you have to try, the bar you have to find, the thing locals keep to themselves. Until now. These are ours. Ten of them.
Go find them.
The Italian Sando
Deli Towne USA in Reno has been building the Italian sub on fresh Dutch crunch bread since 1993 — hand-sliced meats, 14 Best of Northern Nevada wins, and a line out the door that moves at its own pace. Order online and thank yourself later.
The Awful Awful
The Awful Awful Burger is a Reno icon born in 1954 — two quarter-pound patties, secret sauce, and a mountain of fries that defined a city for nearly 70 years. Still alive at Baldini's Casino in Sparks and the Carson City Nugget. Some things are too good to stay gone.
