Omaha Restaurant Review: Mouth of the South-Southern Grub

I ordered the Bayou burger with onion rings and coleslaw.

The onion rings came first, were great and a great surprise. The breading was  super light and flaky and not oily. The onions were an impressive size and cooked perfectly.  So far, these are my favorite onion rings in Omaha! (Please send me your favorites to try in the future.)

The burger was medium to well-done and blackened. There were layers of red onions,  bleu cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, comeback sauce and blackened shrimp. It was so tall it was hard to get all in on the first bite.

The waitress asked if I wanted salt pepper and hot sauce.  I liked the salt and pepper on the onion rings and the hot sauce. The  Louisiana Hot Sauce went well with both the onion rings and burger.

Omaha Event: Holiday Lighting at Aksarben

The trees were lit and we awaited the lighting of the spire and two special guests. Lucky for us that these celebrities photo-bombed the spire shot because the line was too long to see them. Can you tell who they are in the third picture?
