Cereals write up come from Chef G’s Notes. when one hears the word cereal, what comes to mind first – is it breakfast bowl or grain field? Exactly. Some say that I take grains to seriously…but I can’t wheat to write about them. “The word […]
I had recently read an article that the traditional model of the office cafeteria – or dining hall- is becoming obsolete, a trend accelerated by hybrid and remote work. At Creighton, the opposite seems to be true. Colleges are transitioning to more flexible, modern food […]
Recent travels took me to Omaha. During a delightful walk about in Old Town I came across a delightful farmer’s market. Among the stalls of fresh flowers, produce and bakery items, the true gem revealed itself. A kiosk of make your own refrigerator pickles. A simple set up: jars, crisp cucumbers, vinegar, hotwater and the spices. The result is an edible souvenir of the day.

Todays taste led me straight to smoke – and the Pit Lounge in Papillion delivered in all the right ways. Another stop on this culinary adventure , where barbeque meets Omaha, slow and smoky.
It is the sides that sealed it. Cornbread arrived warm, golden crust – but it was the drizzle of honey that elevated it to memorable.

If you find yourself near Papillion with a taste for the real thing, the Pit Lounge is worth the stop. This is barbeque with confidence – and heart to make you linger.
A journey brought me to Papillion, Nebraska – a town where the pace slows and local flavors shine. tucked among the neighborhood streets is a spot well worth the stop: Canigilia’s a Mano. This unassuming local eatery delivers the kind of comfort and quality that […]

Sparkle and Spectacle of Las Vegas, where dining is as much about the atmosphere as it is the food. This time the venue is Pinky Vanderpump – a place that doesn’t just embrace drama, it choreographs it.
Ordained in flamingo motifs, the room is dazzling of blush-pink glamor and gilded whimsy. All perfectly in step with the glitzy, feathered cocktails that arrive as center pieces in glassware.
The menu leans into the playful: eye catching appetizers that are made to share, photograph and devour. The dishes done hide behind decor – they complement. A good evening that begins with sparkle and doesn’t apologize.
