This morning, a Wall Street Journal writer called out Omaha as one of his favorite small dining cities in the country.
I couldn't agree with him more and I'm glad we're finally being noticed. Writer Joshua Ozersky says it well:
"Not curiosity, not caution, but anger and dismay: Thats what other New Yorkers expressed when I told them I was moving away. And the reason, hilariously, was food. Youll starve out there, I was told. Out there, of course, meant everywhere else. No doubt San Franciscans give their apostates similarly dire warnings, and Chicagoans, too.
Its time for them to wake up and smell the Stumptown coffee. Because if there is one thing Ive learned in traveling the country as a dining critic over the last few years, its that big cities dont matter the way they used to. Its 2015, and everybody has ramen bars now. Everybody has craft cocktails. From Tacoma to Tampa, we are one great restaurant nation."
