Blanc Burgers and Bottles

On our way home from Chad's funeral, I decided to stop at McFosters for Carissa.  We drove right by Blanc, and remembered they had a vega burger, so I got lucky and was able to eat here.  The burger of the day, Brunch Burger which is a beef patty, crusted in coffee, yes, coffee, along with bacon and a fried egg on top.  This is probably the best burger I have had in Omaha.  I consider myself a burger connoisseur, so when you ask me about burgers, I know.  It was perfectly cooked medium and sprinkled with some green onions on the egg.  ($10)  My wife ordered the vegan burger, which is a lentil burger, had arugula and she opted out of the yogurt sauce since she is vegan and not a vegetarian.  We then ordered the onion rings ($5).  Pretty spendy since I think we only got 5 rings.  They had lots of different bottles of soda, as well as beers and beer on tap.  We didn't try any of the different bottles, but did have a good eating experience even though we both wanted more onion rings.  We will definitely be back, maybe with a bit more money to try the truffle fries, and a couple of different bottles.
Check them out.  More than I want to spend on a burger, but after the first bite, you don't mind.

Charleston's-Omaha

Chad and I went to Charlston's for dinner last night. It is a fairly expensive restaurant here in Omaha. We ordered a creamed spinach artichoke dip to start, and it may have been the best spinach dip I have ever had, may have even been the best thing I ate last night. Chad then ordered the filet and I had prime rib, with fries (the girls at work said the fries are awesome, so I tried them) instead of the mashed. Each of our dinners came with salad and a croissant were both pretty full by the time the actual meal came out, but somehow managed to eat everything off each of our plates.  Dinners were $23 each, not too bad, but I guess compared to some other places in Omaha, that is a bit high.  Chad had a gift card for $75 that he had won at a work party, so dinner was free.  Can't beat free.

A couple of shots to make you drool...
