DISH Announces New Ownership

DISH Restaurant (www.dishdowntown.com

) is excited to announce a new chapter of growth and development for the restaurant and the Lincoln community. Marypat Heineman and Rachel McGill are purchasing the restaurant from Travis Green effective August 1st.

Green, who has owned and operated DISH for the past 11 years, feels the pair are the right choice to carry on the legacy of the long-time downtown staple.

Heineman’s industry experience includes more than 10 years as a server, bartender, and manager in the Lincoln market. For the past two years, she has served as the front of house manager of DISH. Her work ethic, understanding of restaurant operations, and dedication to service and guest satisfaction will be tremendous assets as she steps into her role as owner and general manager.

McGill has also been a part of the Lincoln dining scene for nearly a decade. She has served as a prep and line cook at a number of high-end Lincoln restaurants.  McGill has operated as Green’s sous chef for two years and has been an invaluable part of the restaurant’s culinary team since day one. Along with her daily task of developing nightly features, McGill has been the driving force behind eight seasonal menus. Green says McGill is one of the best and most creative chefs he has worked with and is confident her vision and passion for the culinary arts will allow DISH to grow and improve through the years.

Green is extremely grateful for all of the staff he has worked with and for the guests who have become friends over the years. He looks forward to seeing the continued success of DISH as he pursues other ventures in his personal and professional life.
