No trip to McCook is complete without a visit to @sehnertsbakery, Nebraska’s first America’s Classic @beardfoundation award winner. They make incredible bierocks — including these tiny ones for a talk Matthew and I gave about our book last night — and absolutely delicious baked goods.

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…
