Three quick food-related updates from this weekend.
First up, I read somewhere -- I think it was the Journal Star, but I don't see the piece online -- that Magnolia closed last week. That location on 8th Street in the Haymarket just can't quite find a winning formula. The piece I read made it sound like another tenant isn't far behind. jwiltshire was sure to remind me that jtk isn't far away.
Next, Branched Oak Inn in Malcolm is closed. However a joint called Kerry's Hog Wild BBQ is now open in the Branched Oak Marina on the north side of the lake. It's nothing fancy, and it's most definitely not vegetarian friendly, but it's not bad for a meal. Apparently it opened four weeks ago, and the owners got the call just two weeks before that.
Last, the Wilsons had a little Phat Jack's BBQ last night at Holmes Lake as part of a fundraiser for City Impact. The ribs were pretty darn tasty. I suppose I need to check out Phat Jack's actual location (4050 Cornhusker) to give them a real try.
Speaking of that fundraiser, kudos to the jazz combo that played over suppertime. Good stuff.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Also, the D’Leon’s empire is opening up another branch at 27th and Randolph.
Thank you for attending the BBQ last evening. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself and visit with you…it got really busy which is a good thing! The “Big Red” sandwich at Phat Jack’s is my personal favorite, with buns made by LeQuartier, Provolone cheese and their mouth-watering brisket. Thanks again for coming, and thanks to your wife for helping with Gifts of Love!
