Rural Foodies
Home

Editor's Note: One of the fears people have about leaving an urban lifestyle for life in a small town is that the gastronome inside each of us will be, well, starved. And while small towns simply don’t have the population to support all the culinary niches, there are still an amazing number of places where a died-in-the-wool foodie can satisfy a craving for “good food, well prepared”. Just because a chef is in a small town is no reason to assume that he or she has never worked in the wider world or is without skill, talent and a few tricks up the sleeve.

Betty Sayers and Pam Soreide are two women who appreciate food – they talk food, read about food, prepare food and for all we know, dream about food. We’ve set them the task of uncovering rural Nebraska’s gastronomic treasures, doing investigative research (that’s the fun part — eating) and sharing their perceptions with you. We hope you will enjoy their ramblings. If you have comments or would like to share your favorite rural restaurant, please visit the 'Writer's Page' for more information

The Cornhusker Club - Oxford, NE

One of the laments of rural diners is the difficulty in finding good regional and ethnic fare. But while there is a preponderance of “American cuisine” along the back roads of Nebraska, there are plenty of rewarding experiences if you’re willing to seek them out.

Burchell's White Hill Farmhouse Inn - Minden, NE

You will be glad to drive a country mile to dine at Burchell’s White Hill Farmhouse Inn. If you’re looking for a farm-country kind of experience, you just can’t get more country than this. Wide fields of green corn plants flank the gravel road leading to the farmstead nine miles north and west of Minden, and while signage is minimal, the trip is well worth the adventure for some great barbeque.
