You Came for Pickleball… Then You Tried the Food

Most people know Smash Park for the activities.

Pickleball. Duckpin bowling. Darts. Karaoke. Shuffleboard. Arcade games.

But Todd Lindberg wants you to know there's another reason to visit: the food.

In this special Restaurant Hoppen segment from Hurrdat and Yelp's Omaha food event at the Kiewit Luminarium, Dan Hoppen sits down with Todd, Executive Vice President of Expansion for Smash Park, to talk about the kitchen behind the entertainment.

Smash Park focuses on scratch cooking, including Wagyu burgers, smoked chicken wings, and a dedicated gluten-free fryer. The goal isn't simply to provide something to eat between activities—it's to make food that genuinely surprises people who may not have come expecting a restaurant experience.

Todd also shares his own path into the culinary world, which started with his first kitchen job at 14 years old and eventually led him to culinary school at the Culinary Institute of America in New York.

And if you're wondering what Todd would order first?

The answer is the 24-hour-brined, smoked and flash-fried chicken wings.

Because apparently even at Smash Park, the wings are serious business.
