Gut bomb

Of 18 varieties, the Harlem ($6.40) is the pride of the establishment, melting twin Americans over the beef, flopping on a runny egg, depositing the result on a splayed bun, and finally dumping chili con carne over the whole thing—a delicious gutbomb that defies digestion.

Opened in 1934, this cleaner-than-clean diner serves hand-patted hamburgers on roasted buns and gutbomb chili to a loyal cadre of locals.

At midnight, J. W. and I stopped outside Thermopolis and bought two jumbo coffees and microwave gutbomb burritos at a fuel plaza with a food mart big as an Albertson's.
