“Fusion” has become a bit of a dirty word in the restaurant world, or at least something that has gone out of fashion. Cattle Call, on the corner of 16th and Farnam streets, is doing its part to bring fusion into 2025. And it’s doing so in an interesting way, serving chef-driven, higher-end cuisine in a casual, comfortable spot on 16th Street. It’s affordable, at least relatively speaking.

If you, like me, haven’t made your way into Gorat’s Steakhouse in years, I have a surprise for you: It’s time to go back. Gorat’s is good again.

30hop, which opened its first Omaha location two months ago, is all about the beer.

I'm back this week for @flatwaterfreep with the latest in my year-long Steak Town USA series. We've officially left Omaha for the Speakeasy, a steakhouse in a Nebraska ghost town serving delicious beef against the odds: https://t.co/kvKdvbnEqg
Good morning from fish fry central! The definitive list of Omaha fish frys on my website has been updated for the 2025 season. This is a one-woman operation (you're looking at her.) If I missed something, drop me a note and I will get it added. https://t.co/1qZM66v4GS
What’s the next chapter for the steakhouse? In Omaha, it’s the Committee Chophouse, which has one foot in the past and the other firmly planted in the future. Read the latest installment of Steak Town USA at the link in my bio and on @flatwaterfreep. https://t.co/TtCtGO6q3J https://t.co/dc1sOLyrBm
