    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…

    Burger Review: In Lieu of a Reuben, I tried the Crescent Moon’s house smash burger

    Omaha Burger Bracket season is one of the only times of year — and one of the only reasons — I would forego one of my favorite Reubens in Omaha. But in the name of burger research, I ordered the house double smash burger topped with two slices of melted cheddar. As I said, I’d…

    I did not know today was Emo Brunch when we headed to @fizzysomaha, but I’m not sad we accidentally checked it out. This little boho joint is now firmly on my Sunday list. Espresso martini (the tour continues), cheeseburger (‘tis the season), Jimmy eats burritos (black beans, eggs, queso, roasted pepper, Spanish rice and flaming…

    Two things I learned in Miami today: 1. The Cubano at Old’s in Little Havana is so insanely good. The thick layer of melted cheese combined with the tangy mustard, tart pickles and the super tender ham and pork all between crispy Cuban bread. Man. So good. 2. A mojito is actually really delicious when…

    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…
