Tops in Custer County

This is the first year that Shotgun Annie’s is a stop on the Beef Passport.

Annie’s has participated in the Beef Passport. “We’re really excited to get more awareness of small-town restauants that are around,” Candice Burnett, owner of Shotgun Annie’s, said. A lot of people travel the interstate and don’t realize there are diamonds n the rough out here off the beaten path.” Shotgun Annie’s has been oprating in Callaway for six years and erves a variety of options from steak o tacos. Their most popular beef dishs are the specialty hamburgers inluding the Atomic Prairie Heifer.

Shotgun Annie’s relies on good reationships with their customers to keep in business. The increased cost of goods and the lack of available workrs makes keeping a restaurant open a ough job. “We really appreciate all of the customers who keep coming back and supporting us,” Burnett said. “Nebraska is famous for its beef all over the country. We’re proud of that.”

She hopes that the passport program will generate new business and encourage people to enjoy beef.

Restaurants and meat processors aren’t the only businesses that benefit from the passport program. “Over 60 percent of all beef produced is sold through food services,” Wegner stated. As one of the largest producers of beef in the nation, Nebraska’s economy relies on consumers enjoying beef in a restaurant. The Beef Passport program is a great way for consumers to support their local restaurants, processors and cattle producers while earning prizes and enjoying a great meal.
