    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. They have great coffee, a fantastic vintage sign and are…

    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…

    Two fun Fish Friday suggestions for the last Friday of Lent

    Yes, I have been eating a lot of burgers (Burger Bracket season just ended, in case you somehow missed the memo.) But even a burger lover like me has to break up the monotony sometimes, so here’s a couple of recent seafood and fish dishes I’ve tried and highly recommend you check out, too, whether…

    Burger Review: Is this Omaha’s fanciest hamburger? I think so.

    I’ve eaten a lot of fancy hamburgers in my day (I did a whole Food Prowl back in the day on the topic of gourmet burgers, which you can read at this link and this link.) Way back in 2013, our team named the Grey Plume’s gourmet burger as our favorite, and I remember at…

    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…
