Travelfood - Winnemucca, Nevada

In Winnemucca, there are two eating options which will make a meal or an overnight stay enjoyable.

• The Pig (formerly The Flying Pig) BBQ is right on the main boulevard.
  
  Back in 1994, I visited there and had such good BBQ my friends and I bought shirts, took them back to our college, and fielded a club softball team called The Flying Pigs. Fast forward 17+ years, I return to a new name, but still great BBQ.
  
  There are the traditional BBQ sandwich and dinner dishes. The BBQ sandwich was more than enough for me. The upper and lower bun are buttered enough to make good rolls.
  
  Sweet BBQ sauce made the meal memorable. Good memories and would recommend.


• The Griddle's sign says there is good cookin'. The sign does not lie.
  
  It is your typical small town casual sit down restaurant with a variety of options. I had the Quiche Lorraine which seems to be quite popular. At 7:15 in the morning, they had to look to see if there was a slice available. The slice was quite filling for my day of scenic travel. The homemade salsa did not make a good addition to my quiche, but it might for others.
  
  Good service, good local food make this a recommend as well.
