Grey Plume adds bar snacks to menu

Omaha World-Herald wrote:The Grey Plume — a restaurant most people likely reserve for special occasion dinners — has pushed itself onto the list of random weeknight dinner spots.

I saw the restaurant post its new “Bar Snacks” menu on Facebook and I decided to check it out. The menu includes sandwiches, pizzas and snacks such as popcorn and chicken wings done in the elevated style diners expect from chef Clayton Chapman.

Every time the waiter comes to your table at the elegant, laid-back The Grey Plume, he’ll tell your party about yet another item that the kitchen has produced: the butter churned in-house, the ricotta-style buttermilk cheese made here, the prosciutto cured for up to 24 months, the sourdough rye baked in the kitchen.

In most cities these days, “locavore” references are worn like badges of honor. But in Nebraska, where farms and ranches occupy 93 percent of the land, “locavore” may as well be axiomatic. There’s far more to the Cornhusker State’s ecosystem than corn and hogs.

The Grey Plume is adding "Grey Plume Provisions" set to open summer of 2014. From OWH "The new shop will sell the restaurant's coffee, charcuterie, jams, preserves and mustard, among other items. The shop will also sell the ceramic serving pieces used at the restaurant." Grey Plume to open new Midtown storefront Apparently this was announced last fall.

Greenest restaurant in the country right here in Midtown Omaha, not their first time earning the designation either.

1) The Grey Plume, Omaha, Nebraska
The Grey Plume believes in an eco-friendly dining environment and with the 90 percent recycled content floors to the extensive LED lighting throughout the space, they’ve created one. It has received a four-star rating from the GRA and remains top of the heap amongst its competitors. In terms of water and energy conservation, the restaurant has Energy Star refrigerators, ice machines, and office equipment, and the most energy-efficient dishwasher available on the market. When you’re done marveling at the beautiful and sustainable space and are ready to chow down, the menus are printed with soy-based ink on recycled paper. Perhaps sample the duck fat fries and the local oyster mushroom soup.

We just celebrated my wife's birthday at the Grey Plume on Saturday. It was excellent as always.

Wow, after watching that video, it made me realize how great of an honor it is to have a chef like that in our city.

There is a lot of kitchen talent in the Midwest. It just tends to get overlooked, as we all reside in "flyover" territory.

That would be awful if Grey Plume were to close. Clayton is one of Omaha's most celebrated chefs... Are you sure its the restaurant, and not just the "Provisions" shop?

I haven't been to the Grey Plume, but I like Chicago Dawg House. I'd be sorry to see them go.

Yeah, I was at the Night Market on Friday and the Grey Plume was packed and Chicago Dawg House had a food truck up at the event. Both establishments didn't look like they were ready to throw in the towel.

That's a relief. We eat there a few times a year. It's my favorite Omaha restaurant, it's where my wife and I ate after our wedding and where we eat every anniversary dinner.

Ha! I asked my chef about Grey Plume after reading the thread here and he went right to the source. I'm always trying to tell people this is place to find out about European Villages being built in west O. Glad to help put this rumor to rest.

The Dog house can move back to 108th & maple. I ate there often when they were there.

I was not going to take a trip to MC to go there once they moved though.

The restaurant's own website is still up, but all references to TGP have been removed from Midtown Crossing's website...

We have decided that it is time to close the doors on our decade-long run. We are truly thankful for all of the opportunities we were given and the memories will be cherished forever.
