Coulton said that during the past year, the restaurant’s original owners have spent more time with their families, and Anania and Cavanaugh are now working with Flagship Restaurant Group and recently opened a second Omaha location of Amsterdam inside Flagship Commons. Earlier this month, the restaurant group announced the Lincoln location of Amsterdam was closing.

Coulton said his business partners have no plans to open any other restaurants. As for his own future, he said he plans to stay in Omaha, take some time off and then look toward doing other “broader projects” within the local food community.

He welcomes the new owners to Dundee. “Phil, Anne and I are all very supportive of what they want to bring to the neighborhood, and think they’ll complement the area quite well,” Coulton said. “They’re extremely engaged and motivated to bring a level of energy to Dundee” — similar, he said, to what now exists in the Blackstone and Benson neighborhoods.

The French Bulldog and Coulton were the first Omaha restaurant and chef to win a Good Food Award, in 2014. Coulton won for his Hungarian Salami. He was selected from among 1,450 charcuterie entrants from all 50 states.
