Places to eat in Wendover! (From a local)

[nickleone]

Since we only get to spectate for a few days fri-sun we bring a propane stove and a cooler.
Eggs+ in the morning, cold sandwiches for lunch and what ever we find at a casino etc at night.
Might stop at the SMITHS grocery store for adult refreshment and something different for breakfast.
A little cheaper this way.
Thanks for the suggestions for local food and the warnings.  LOL

Nick;

Smith's is a great resource. You can tell how many racers patronize the store by the salt on the parking lot. Fixing your own chow is economical and not a bad idea at all.

True, that, AND they usually have a truckload of ice available early in the week.

Yeah...Smith's is great, Coffee and donuts real early and mostly the daily beer and ice buy for the guzzlers on our crew. Sometimes breakfast special and dinner at Red Garter
 Well we stay there. Also several nights one of our crew's wife cooks a great tri-tip barbeque or a taco bake in a crock pot slow cooker at the KOA. And man is it good

We use the same tri-tip grill for hotdogs during the day,

Salt Talks got rained out a few yrs ago and Slim donated the buns and patties to us, the word spread and the pits all around gave the grill a workout Slim.

I miss the 99c Ham and Egg Breakfast at the Old Red Garter.....Ate that for years, even though it was a very dodgy establishment. Best sight in the morning had to be the sleeping young man in his Honda with the engine idling, A/C on, seat reclined and last nights party evidence hurled onto the pavement outside the drivers door....

Just couldn't resist a comment regarding {stomach epizudick} or what we called in the service; "GI'S)".

I thought a hot turkey sandwich might assist sleep after a long, hot , day onthe salt.
My big mistake was getting it at some place called a nugget.

My friend Ray and I had camped in tents up above all the thrash and what-not associated with 'the bend'.
Around 03:30; the old alimentary canal said "what in the flying hyundai have you done to me THIS timE?

That happened to be the day that Johnco's employee decided to have a serious case of "Tavern house blues", or whatever; there was a serious chance of making  real mess.

Fortunately for myself and anybody nearby, there was a very nice family from Corona area, and they allowed me to stink up the facilities in their very nice motor home. (Had a giant vent fan).

I still feel like I owe big favor to the white GMC crew.Point being:
I'm very careful where and what I consume.

Anybody offers to buy dinner at NUGGet; sorry, can't afford it.

  Here's the latest sad story about Wendover and Casino chow.
I always link up with a pair of good buddies from Glenwood Springs.
Friday, we attended the sit down restaurant at Rainbow.
Senior specials, just the right amount. Hot beef sandwich for myself.
Saturday, big mistake; "Let's go to Montego Bay and have a steak", said he; because I didn't want to drive very far after having an adult beverage.


Tried the Rib eye and that turned into a Wrestling match.

Tough, loaded with gristle, an all around poor piece of meat to start with, then partly overdone, varying thickness; only a small section 2" diameter was as requested-medium rare.

Long story short, finally got that portion 'comped'.

Use your best judgement; buyer beware.
They'll never see this old Texan again.

Jim, I think the only place to eat at in the Nugget, is Tito's Tacos. I think that's what it is called. A little place back on the left rear when you come in the front. Of course a cold draft goes good to. Mark.
