What started in 2022 as a post-skate craving quickly turned into a full-blown obsession when the two couldn&rsquo;t find a burger that hit the mark, so they made their own. Combining Lee&rsquo;s culinary background with Williams&rsquo; passion for food (and his own NADC spice company), the pair created what they call &lsquo;the ultimate backyard burger.&rsquo; The menu centers around their signature double cheeseburger made with 100% Wagyu beef, American cheese, secret sauce, grilled onions, pickles, and just the right kick of jalapenos&mdash;served with a side of fries for the full experience.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>They aren&rsquo;t wrong about the fact you could make one of these burgers in your own backyard. How is that a good thing?<\/p>\n<p>The NADC burger we tried was forgettable, especially in a town with so many spectacular burgers.<\/p>\n<p>Will NADC address your Fremont Street munchies? Oh, yes.<\/p>\n<p>Is the over\/under for this NADC location nine months? Oh, yes.<\/p>\n<p>Neither of the new restaurants have announced they&rsquo;re coming to Tony @ Carson, so there are no official opening dates yet.<\/p>\n<p>They may want to wait until the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.8newsnow.com\/news\/local-news\/las-vegas-restaurants-heated-over-400m-bus-transit-system-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">construction shitshow<\/a> is finished before launching, so Q2 of 2029 (subject to change without notice).<\/p>\n<p>Big thanks to ever-vigilant Twitter follower <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Jaybirdvegasnv\/status\/1980385426562269357\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Jaybirdvegasnv<\/a> for the tip about Picanha Steak and NADC Burger.<\/p>\n<p>Small business owners are brave souls possessing immense grit and we applaud their tenacity in the face of daunting challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s hope these new offerings can overcome the odds with their unbeatable meat.<\/p>\n<p>Some jokes just write themselves.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two restaurants are planned for downtown&rsquo;s Tony @ Carson building, home to Carson Kitchen.
