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.

Food Prowl: Mac and Cheese
The macaroni and cheese food prowl was really fun. I had a blast hanging out with my tasters this month, Jeff and Kim. Their knowledge of the dish and endless opinions — just what I want when we’re prowling — … Continue reading
