“The small-town restaurant has been drawing the praise of locals since day one, but its popularity hit new heights after its appearance on a National TV Show,” said Don Jorgensen of KELO News as he and his Co-Anchor Bridget Bennett introduced the story by Travis Fossing.
The story featured interviews with Thornton of course, and interviews with Tamie Nordstrom, Garretson Mayor Greg Beaner and O So Good employee Colby Bottelberghe, who has gone from serving and washing dishes to Sous Chef under Omar’s tutelage. Featuring everything from the restaurant’s origins to the charitable work they do, it was an excellent story.
