EPIC The burgers at this Northern Quest sports bar are decidedly, well, epic. We're talking hand-formed Snake River Farms Wagyu patties, topped with garlic seared prawns, white truffle garlic aioli, provolone, baby arugula, tomato, and thin-sliced red onion on a toasted ciabatta bun epic (Surf & Turf Burger, $15). The epic-ness doesn't stop there: A massive 30-foot wide TV stretches over the bar, making this the quintessential place to catch a game.  Northern Quest Casino, 100 N.
