All sorts of exciting things are happening for the Daily Grub in the next couple of weeks…
Look for us in the news! June 22 and 27th we’ll be featured as Fox 42’s “Secret Hot Spot” and at some point this June there will also be a review that will run in the Omaha World Herald.
Now that we’ve gotten our sea legs there are also a number of upgrades we’re planning – cosmetic changes like SIGNAGE and expanded outdoor seating with some shade cover as well as some menu and scheduling changes. Not the least of which is the end of weekend brunches. At least for the summer season. The summer sunshine has replaced brunches with bbq’s. As it should be! So we’re adapting. Beginning June 14, Daily Grub will be open Monday thru Friday 11 am to 3 pm. There will be no brunch the weekend of June 12 and 13.
This new weeklong schedule also jives really well with the July launch of Grub To Go. Starting in July you will be able to order, for delivery, from a lunchbox style to-go menu. Eric Brunt will pedal your order to you. Many of you will know (or recognize) Eric as Omaha’s mustachioed bike man around town. He is starting a courier business this summer and has taken DG on as a client. The dude is hard-core. The dude bikes like the wind. So you can expect your food fast, fresh and friendly.
The eat-in lunch menu is also getting a bit of a makeover, or make under. Things are getting streamlined and a little more predictable. You can now always expect to find: two soups, two sopes, two bowls (one of which will always be a curry) and a raw option. A variety of vittles will still be on hand and will include a “bread and spread” selection (this week’s is an orange lentil and harissa pate), a salad and a dessert (mulberry tarts with mulberries from my own backyard this week!). There will also be a lunch special on the menu – two sopes and a side for $10. This week’s side is the sweet potato hash.
What else? Internet! And? The occasional Grub after dark soiree. It really is just so lovely here at night. It would be a shame not to have people over every once and awhile.
Lots going on! Hope to see you soon.
Love (sans waffles),
DG
Can’t wait for After Dark! It could be a Grub/Dixie evening! Sad to see the brunches go for the summer, but happy to boost a Monday with some goodness. Love.
