My goal is to bring Taste of Lincoln back in 2012. There are a lot of exciting things happenening in the Lincoln area, and it’s time to spend the time needed to report on those. We are active on Twitter so check us out there as well.
Thanks for hanging on with us! Postings are on the way.
Received an email from Carmela’s about $5 wine tasting event held on the first Thursday of each month. Looks like it runs from 6:30-8pm. We’ll miss the first Thursday in August but will definitely hope we can make it in September.
Perhaps news to only me is that Fazoli’s second location in the old Taco Bueno at 27th & Superior spot is open. IMO, great spot for a restaurant as choices at that end of 27th are slim.
And, I’m not sure this is open, but Dickey’s Barbeque Pit is in the former Mr. Goodcents location at 27th & Cornhusker. A worse location this could not be due to limited parking and lack of accessibility, but I wish them all the luck in succeeding in what is becoming a somewhat full market of BBQ options. Who knew Lincoln would be the home of chain restaurants, sandwich shops on the same block in downtown, coffee houses in downtown and BBQ joints.
I was reading this article and noticed several Lincoln (and a few Omaha) restaurants are making stride to give kids healthier options. I like the concept, but in most cases I believe portion size is a bigger issue. I know we will check these out the next time we visit Outback.
Beginning today, kids will find some cool new choices on their restaurant menus — choices that will make their parents happy, too.
