The 2012 Taste of Nebraska was Saturday, October 27, 2012 at The 201 Bar, 201 Massachusetts Ave NE, Washington DC. Thank you to Runza, Valentino's, Vic's Popcorn, Wilbur Bakery and our fellow Nebraskans in attendance. This year's Taste of Nebraska was in honor of our friend, Mr. Ben Gupta. Ben Gupta grew up in Omaha and lived in Washington, D.C. for the last five years of his life. Ben was a big fan of both Runzas and Nebraska football, so he was a huge fan of the Taste of Nebraska. We will never forget Ben's smile, his passion for life and his kindness and respect for everyone he met.
