Taste of West 'O' 2008 - Omaha, NE
posted by snekse

Just a quick reminder - the Taste of West "O" is this weekend. Not to be confused with the hugely disappointing Taste of "Omaha". (UPDATE: Pics are available now from Sataurday)

Taste of West O

The Taste of West "O" (AKA "Westfest") is only in it's second year, but last year's event was well worth the trip. The food vendors are mostly good, independent local restaurants and the prices are very reasonable. The "Best of Taste Item" at each booth featured a dish for just 2 tickets (UPDATE: They were 3 tickets this year). This was usually the way to go for most spots that tried to offer a signature item at that price point. Hopefully this year will offer the same value and food selection as their inaugural event. Here's a partial list of some of the better vendors who will be there.
