Berkshire weekend is back! This week I’ve got two lists: one of all my new faves (and a few old faves) I’m suggesting to visitors. And a second focused on, what else, beef. You can find them both right now at the link in my profile.And tell me: what’s your favorite spot to send out-of-towners?

Berkshire Hathaway is back. Here’s where to eat.
It’s been a minute since the Berkshire Hathaway crowd made its way to Omaha, but thousands of shareholders are coming back this week. (I’ve already seen a few strolling around downtown, in fact.) A lot has changed since the last time I put together one of these lists — in fact, I didn’t even have…

Omaha’s best steaks (and one in Lincoln) to eat during BRK weekend
This year marks the return of the in-person Berkshire Hathaway weekend and it also marks the 100-year anniversary of Johnny’s Cafe, the city’s most iconic steakhouse, at 4702 S. 27th St. It was a pleasure to write the definitive story on the Kawa family, who has owned and run Johnny’s for a century, earlier this…

Burger Review: The Drover’s burger is the one you wish you could grill at home
I’ve tried a lot of burgers in Omaha (and a lot the past two weeks!) and I have to say that The Drover, one of the city’s iconic steak spots, has perfected the burger that every single one of us wishes were the result of our own home grill. It’s thick. It’s juicy. It’s cooked…

Burger Review: Small touches make the Blatt Burger stand out
I have always enjoyed the sort of simple but upscale menu at Blatt (I especially like their kale Caesar with Indian spiced chicken, if I’m sharing favorites here.) But their trio of burgers — the Backyard burger, inspired by summer barbecues; the Border burger, topped with queso and crispy poblanos; and the one I tried…

Burger Review: Fizzy’s diner burger should be on your brunch list
I am of two minds when it comes to brunch. On the one hand, I love a traditional breakfast spread: two eggs, poached; toast; bacon and some type of crispy potato. On the other? A burger all the way. Fizzy’s, a newer upscale diner spot in Little Bohemia, has flown a bit under the radar…
