Nevada

In the mid-1800s, Basques (from the border between Spain and France) settled in Northern Nevada. Their descendants still serve food from the old country along the Basque food heritage tour: At Ogi Deli & Bar in Elko, try sandwiches with chorizo, solomo, and Basque peppers; Louis Basque Corner in Reno for sautéed sweetbreads; and J.T.’s in Gardnerville for oxtail soup and the signature Picon punch.
