Well Fed On the Town

I’ll come out and say it. I am a Mexican Food Snob. Having been born and raised in Texas, I would definitely consider myself a connoisseur of interior Mexican cuisine, Tex-Mex and Mexican-American fare. With that said, Julio’s in Omaha, NE did not disappoint.
Julio’s bills itself as Omaha’s premier Tex-Mex. That having been said, while […]

Proper French Onion Soup should be served in a small crockery style bowl. It should be covered with a stringy, relatively unsalted, melty cheese (Fontina or Gruyere) baked on top. Below the cheese should be a round crouton of bread floating on the soup, soaking in the broth from below and adhering to the cheese […]

This, the second opportunity I had to dine at one of the twenty-two global Nobu locations, was every bit as memorable as the first. An opportunity to enjoy a meal at Nobu Waikiki provided all of the inspiration necessary to arrange a day trip to Oahu, while vacationing on Kauai in Hawaii.
During a trip to […]

Last week I had the pleasure of dining at Spezia, in Omaha, NE. Now, I have written about Spezia before, so I won’t cover that ground again. Suffice it to say, I had an enjoyable business dinner with great food and company.
However, while I was looking over my available choices from the menu, I kept […]

Located a few miles from where the road ends, just 10 minutes west of the small village of Hanalei, on the North Shore of the most remote Hawaiian Island, Kauai, I will admit that you would have to go a bit out of your way just to dine at Mediterranean Gourmet. However, if you happen […]

Now just wait a minute! How do you define “Authentic Chinese?”
Well, in this case, it was simple. They handed us two menus when we sat for Dinner, the “American Menu” and the “Chinese Menu.” A little background is in order though.
Seattle was just a day stop for us as we began our vacation. We hopped […]

So, here I am in paradise. No really, here I am. This, the second full day of my vacation on the gorgeous island of Kauai, in Hawaii, started off with a great breakfast. The stunning Princeville Resort in Hanalei, HI provided the setting for this amazing breakfast.
A stroll through fountains, across flagstones, over marble tiled […]

Nicola’s Italian Restaurant, or Nicola’s in the Market as it is listed in some places, is a nice little Italian food restaurant in the Omaha Old Market district. (By the way, that’s nih-KOHL-uhs).
The menu is smaller than the wine list (which is one of my basic measurements for how good a wine list is, so […]

I would like to give thanks for advanced refrigeration methodologies and rapid, global shipping. Because of these two items I am able to enjoy outstanding Sushi in America’s Heartland. In this case, Sakura Bana in Omaha, NE.
When you think Omaha, you think probably think of insurance (Mutual of Omaha, anyone?), corn, beef, the College World […]

When is the last time your significant other turned to you and said, “Let’s go out to the grocery store and eat dinner.” The truth is, it might not be that uncommon any longer. More and more of your upscale grocery store chains are adding a salad bar or other buffet style offerings with a […]
