Jeff’s Top Five
By: Mr. Wilson on

Many of you are aware that Jeff Korbelik has been doing his "Jeff's Top 5" feature in the Ground Zero for the past year or so. Each week he features his five favorite "somethings" in the Lincoln dining scene. It could be the best restaurants in a certain category, the best of a particular dish, or whatever.
Now he's ending the series with his top five restaurants overall, but he's doing them one at a time. Number five on his list is Billy's. I'm trying to guess what the next four will be.
Trouble is, it's not clear what his criteria are. For example he mentions the word "favorite" at one point, but he also uses the phrase "top 5". To me those aren't necessarily the same thing. The restaurants that I think are the "best" aren't necessarily the same as those that I would list as my "favorite". Favorite foods and restaurants are deeply personal and, as a result, sometimes wholly irrational.
That being said, what do you think Korbelik's next four choices will be? Will he stick to the same "fine dining" theme? If so, he might finish out his list with the likes of jtk, Dish, The Oven, Blue Orchid, Bread & Cup, and Venue. Perhaps he'll be daring and mix up the genres, adding in local favorites like Paul's, a Morales restaurant (El Toro, La Mexicana, etc.), and Tina's. Or perhaps he'll really go over the top and mirror KFOR's "Best of Lincoln" poll and choose Amigo's, Valentino's, and Red Lobster.
Any guesses?
