Ted Weschler has dined with Warren Buffett at least three times at Piccolo Pete's in Omaha, the Wall Street Journal noted, and this month the Virginia resident starts his new job of deciding how to invest several billion dollars of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s money.
Weschler plans to continue living in Charlottesville, the home of the University of Virginia, but likely will visit Omaha on occasion to touch base with Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire, and with Todd Combs, who has been making some of Berkshire's investments since last spring.
Piccolo Pete's has great food, including beef stroganoff and the steaks and root beer floats that Buffett often recommends. But the city has other restaurants worth sampling, too. The World-Herald's Sarah Baker Hansen offers alternatives for Weschler's future evenings in Omaha:
The World-Herald just named the Grey Plume in midtown Omaha as its No. 1 reviewed restaurant in 2011, and it's truly great.
Other fine dining options include the Boiler Room in the Old Market, Dario's Brasserie in Dundee and Dixie Quick's Public House, which just moved across the river to Council Bluffs.
All are can't-miss stops for the visiting foodie.
