OmahaNebraska.com Interview with Lance Temple

Lance

I’ll give you a little background on the history of the hotel. It was originally, the Blackstone Hotel, built in the early 20s.

The Reuben sandwich, which which we’re known for, was invented here
in the early 20s. This is one of our signature sandwiches and also the Butter Brickle ice cream was invented here as well. So, we have a lot of history in the hotel.

Up on the eighth floor, Richard Nixon when he was running for president, he did a speech here, as well as JFK, so we have quite a bit of history here.

Thank you.

I look forward to returning and trying more on the menu at this Omaha restaurant.

Next up- I tried the Reuben sandwich!
