Dixie Quick’s Magnolia Room was originally featured in the Omaha, Nebraska area before relocating to Council Bluffs, Iowa, just across the Missouri River. It appeared in Season 4, Episode 4 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Where the Locals Eat,” which aired August 4, 2008, as an eclectic Southern and Cajun kitchen that brought bold, unexpected flavors to the Midwest with a menu that ranged from shrimp and grits to fried green tomatoes to a roster of creative daily specials. The kitchen’s philosophy was to cook Southern and Cajun food the way it is actually cooked in the South, without apology and without shortcuts.
