I like a good burger, I like innovation, and I like a good story of growth. Nick Hyde of Hydes Slydes, was the kid with an entrepreneurial spirit with and knew what his restaurant was going to be called at 15 years old. He went to culinary school, had a food truck…with a few transport issues, a shared kitchen, managed a ghost kitchen, and more recently his own brick and mortar location the the name he decided on as a teenager. I met Nick at Hyde Slydes and learned a lot about his journey and you will too    So…

We’ve mentioned the phase hyper local a few times on this show. That philosophy is certainly on display at Ellsworth Crossing a mid sized market located just outside of Omaha at 26902 W Center Road.
If my food memory serves, the first time I went out to Ellsworth Crossing was in search of extra tasty chicken of which Plum Creek Farms raises and provides to places like Block 16. The environment is friendly and the options plentiful. I met owners Tony and Amber Ellsworth there, Tony took me on a tour, and I found out that Nebraska produces some goods I didn’t know about, maple syrup anyone?
To join the tour just press play on that podcast and listen if you're hungry.

Forgotton restaurants, menus and recipes, where do they go? Some disappear and are only stored in food memories, but thankfully people like Amy Mather and Martha Grenzeback from the Omaha Public Library seek out these tasty treasures and both archive and digitize these artifacts so that we can benefit for years to come.
Menus from the 1800’s, an early Omaha cooking school, and a menu shaped like a clam?! We’ve got that and more and Matha and Amy brought history to the studio share with you and I  so...
