- After stints in San Francisco and Las Vegas, Omaha native Chef Travis Brink, returns to his old stomping grounds and takes over the kitchen at Omaha's French Café & Bistro.
- Mashed potatoes are meant to be made with cream and butter -- and no substitutes!
- Calls made to those turkey hotlines are just as strange as you might imagine.
- La Buvette Wine & Grocery has always been known as a place to drink, but now it's a place to eat (well) as well.
- A new 12,000-square-foot wine, beer, spirits and gourmet grocery store will open in Omaha right before Christmas.

My secret is to also use a little less cream/milk and add sour cream, or better yet, creme fraiche, which really helps to make them fluffy and light.
