A regional list of must try's just came out and one of our favorite foods in Nebraska made the list. But before that...some of the other things in the top 10 were the
Gooey Butter Cake in Missouri
The Chocolate Gravy in Arkansas
and the Onion Burgers in Oklahoma
Now to that iconic regional favorite in our area.....have you guessed? It's Runza's. So iconic in fact they made it into a fast food chain.
The exact roots of such a novelty are murky, but most connect the dots between runzas and pierogies. They're traditionally made with ground beef and cabbage, baked in rectangular yeast rolls.
And fun fact...the first Runza Restaurant was established in Lincoln in the 1940's. Now there are 80 locations and variations include one with cheese, another with mushrooms and Swiss, and a BBQ bacon version.
