Jaclyn’s Pick: New Gold Mountain 6750 Mercy Road (Aksarben) Fare: Chinese Cost: $80 for 10 dim sum items Reservations: We made one for our Friday evening visit, but we could’ve gotten by without. Greetings, Eaters and Readers! Did you know you can get dim sum in Omaha? Neither did I until I went on a quest to find it. If you’ve never had dim sum, think Spanish tapas: multiple small dishes shared among family and friends. The Chinese version consists of steamed, deep-fried or pan-fried plates and is typically enjoyed around brunch time. We broke cultural tradition and had ours at 6:30 on a Frid ..read more

I picked this month’s foodventure back in February when bb.q Chicken first opened.

Bb.q — which stands for Best of the Best Quality — first opened in Seoul, South Korea in 1995. It grew in popularity so much, there are now up to 3,500 locations spanning 57 countries. That ..read more

I’ve been coming to The Mill for lazy Sunday afternoons for a while now, insisting Martha come with me for a blog writing session.

Taking over the former Green Belly spot in Aksarben, R.U.B. sits on the corner of 67th and Shirley, just in front of Inner Rail F ..read more
