The Insider’s Guide
My first book, The Insider's Guide to Omaha and Lincoln, is the first nationally published travel guide written about the two cities. It includes my take on more than 150 restaurants, including many you've probably never heard of before. My "Insider's Picks" throughout the book include favorite thrift stores, dive bars and hangouts. It also has practical sections: one on where to stay when you're visiting and a second perfect for students or people relocating to Nebraska.

Review: J’s on Jackson
Like I said in my review last Friday, J’s on Jackson, the Old Market’s newest restaurant, does what it does and does it well. Like that Bleu Burger above, that thing was great. And the duck confit below, I liked … Continue reading
