Our all Bon Appetit Super Bowl Sunday spread
I love Super Bowl Sunday. For one, my favorite consignment store in Omaha has a Super Bowl Sunday sale and I never miss it. (I didn’t miss it this year, either, in between making several dishes for the afternoon feast.) For another, I like to make any day into a food holiday. Super Bowl Sunday…

Let’s talk about my favorite new kitchen gadget: The Meater
Innocently enough, I added an item to my Christmas list this year: meat thermometer. Little did I know that what I was going to get was much more than what I had in mind when I wrote those two words. My in-laws got me a Meater, which I had never heard of before Christmas morning,…

Who knew Omahans loved shrimp this much?
I’d heard about the annual Shucks Fish House “Shrimp Fest” for years, but somehow never managed to check it out. It turns out I might be the only person in Omaha who wasn’t there. Owner Greg Lindberg said during the four-day event, Shucks sold about 47,000 shrimp to close to 3,000 diners. That’s a lotta…

Add Au Courant’s new brunch to your must-do list
If you looked at social media last Sunday, it felt like everyone who knows anything about food in Omaha ate brunch at Au Courant. Yep, I was there, too. And now it’s my turn to rave. The menu is small but focused, with a handful of entrees and shared plates. Chovie’s Egg, the rotating egg-based…

There’s a weekends only pop-up restaurant inside Lincoln’s Marz Bar
Matthew and I headed down to Lincoln recently for a Nebraska basketball game; though the game was dire, the food situation wasn’t. We decided to skip our regular spots (read more about those here) in favor of something completely new, at least to us. Turns out there’s a weekends-only pop-up, the Webster Bistro, in the…

We tried the drinks at Herbe Sainte’s new “mocktail Monday”
You all know by now that I’m about halfway through Dry January (January is the longest month ever, right?) Anyhow, a friend sent me the Facebook event about the new Mocktail Monday nights at Herbe Sainte in Aksarben, so we checked it out a couple days ago; this week was the first week for the…

When Block 16 makes your dream burger
This week has been pretty cool. My new website launched Thursday – you’re here, so you know – and on Friday my friends Paul and Jessica Urban made me the lunch special of my dreams. Seriously. The backstory: I asked the Urbans to come up with something spectacular, as they do daily, to help me announce…

My Favorite Foodie Gifts
I like cooking, so its natural that I get a lot of food-related gifts. I also buy a lot of food-related gifts for myself. Here, in no specific order, are the things I think the foodie in your life might love this holiday season. The New Joy of Cooking. I have this book, and I…

Sneak peek: Benson’s new high-end, late night diner
When I accepted owner Jose Dionico’s invitation to check out JoJo’s in Benson, his new high-end, late night diner, I was already looking forward to writing this email. Because I had a feeling it was going to be just what Omaha can use right now: a well executed, breakfasty option as good in the morning…

A handful of Lincoln favorites
Matthew and I headed to Lincoln last weekend, post-Thanksgiving feast (which was delicious) to hang out with some family and go to the Nebraska-Iowa football game. Downer of a game but hey, the food and drinks were pretty great. I just love everything about Goldenrod Pastries: Its neighborhood; its absolutely scrumptious baked goods, many of which…
