    Baker-Hansen date night last night thanks to the new weekend price fix offerings @jgilbertsomaha: diners get to choose from beef or salmon and the deal comes with an order of crab cakes and an insane, giant dessert (️ to see a massive piece of carrot cake.) Cruise on over to their page for all the…

    I was really excited to try @ddomaha. The little Benson shop’s singular atmosphere and delicious, unusual coffee drinks didn’t disappoint. Read it at the link in my profile in my newest Takeout Chronicle.

    Takeout Chronicles: Dripped + Draped

    If you, like me, spend a lot of time on Instagram, you’ve probably seen the irresistible ‘grams of the inside of Dripped + Draped, the newest coffee shop in Benson. The shop has no shortage of personality: a faux grass, floral and neon wall piece; pink paint; a rainbow of pastel coffee drinks made with…

    It’s the summer of fermentation: Next up, kimchi

    It started with sourdough starter. Then kombucha. Now? Kimchi. For whatever reason I’ve really gotten into fermentation this summer.

    The Dundee Dell is the tip of the iceberg

    Greg Lindberg feels like two years have passed since the beginning of March.  He’s reinvented his business model at least a dozen times since then, the unofficial start of the COVID-19 pandemic.  None of it mattered for the Dundee Dell, the restaurant he bought in 2016 and that has been a midtown staple for 86…

    Six patios I love, plus a recommendation on taking takeout outside

    The summer of 2020 has been the summer where I do exactly none of the things that I enjoy about summer, and that absolutely includes drinking wine on as many restaurant patios as possible. (It also includes the College World Series and the Maha Music Festival, but I probably shouldn’t get started down this path.)…
