Thousands of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders will descend on Omaha, Nebraska this weekend for Berkshire’s annual meeting.
These thousands of investors will pump bucket-loads of dollars into the Omaha economy through lodging, shopping, and of course, eating at Omaha’s great variety of restaurants.
But one restaurant had a big question: Why wasn’t Big Mama’s Kitchen & Catering included in the visitor’s guide Berkshire Hathaway provides to shareholders offering suggestions on places to eat throughout the city?
After all, Big Mama’s has helped put Omaha on the national map with its homemade recipes and restaurant being featured on The Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and The Travel Channel’s 101 Tastiest Places to Chow Down.
Below is Patricia Barron, aka “Big Mama” pictured with The Food Network’s Guy Fieri.
Omaha ABC affiliate KETV Newswatch 7 recently interviewed Barron about the issue and shortly after, Barron got a surprise voice mail from Buffett himself. You can watch the video here.

So, this week’s True Dirty Laundry W00T! Award goes to Big Mama’s Kitchen and Catering for seeking answers and hopefully getting a ton of hungry mouths to feed this weekend, as well as a spot in next year’s visitor’s guide.
Kudos to Warren Buffett for making a personal return call to Barron, apologizing for the mistake and promising extra signage pointing shareholders to Big Mama’s.
Two Omaha class acts! Thanks, too, to KETV for covering the story!
ps…Big Mama’s has extended hours this weekend. Order an awesome meal and top it off with Big Mama’s sweet potato pie ice cream or many other delights.
