Review: Two great meals in Denver (plus, Shake Shack)
I made a quick jaunt to Denver two weeks ago — mostly for a Kacey Musgraves show with a friend — but you know I managed to squeeze in a bit of dining worth adding to the blog. I haven’t spent all that much time in Denver; in fact this was only my third time…

A week in Phoenix: Here’s everything we ate
Matthew and I were lucky enough to get away to sunny Phoenix for a week, and though I posted on my social media while we were there, I thought a recap of the best places we went and the best food we ate might be a great resource for those Nebraska snowbird types that spend…

The Chicago hotlist, July 2021
It was an absolute pleasure researching and picking out restaurants for our recent trip to Chicago, the first in at least a couple of years. The food scene in Chicago is no joke, as I’m sure many of you already know. During our last few trips, we focused mostly on dining in the West Loop…

Review: Revisiting the Speakeasy, a small town gem
I thought about a lot of restaurants during the past year. One, I can say, was especially inaccessible during 2020: the Speakeasy, a restaurant I first wrote about in 2017 that’s nestled in a town formerly known as Sacramento, about three hours from Omaha, right in the heart of south central Nebraska. I thought about…

Aloha! Matthew and I spent a lovely week in Maui this February, and if the flight out of Omaha was any indication, lots of Nebraskans head to Hawaii when the weather here gets particularly grim. My list isn’t exhaustive, but it does include all the places I’d recommend, and if you’re headed to Maui, that…

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…

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…

A can’t miss NYC Thai spot
A friend of mine sent over a whole host of NYC restaurant recommendations, many high-end and delicious looking. But the one that really stood out to me was this one: Wondee Siam, a tiny Thai spot off 53rd Street and 9th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen. Most of the best dishes on the menu are in Thai,…

Our newest New York food recommendations
This week, allow us to wax poetic about the food of New York City. We just returned from New York on Monday, so the experience is top of mind, including the dish above, the chilled spicy noodles from Momofuku Noodle Bar. I dream about these noodles when I’m not in New York, and they’re generally the…
