Billionaire investor Warren Buffett and a local diner owner talked over the phone Thursday, with Buffett saying it was a mistake that the diner was left out of a guide for visiting shareholders.

Nearly 40,000 Berkshire Hatahway shareholders are expected to descend on Omaha for the company's annual meeting this weekend.The guide suggests places to eat in the city, and Big Mama's Kitchen didn't make the cut, as well as other north Omaha spots.

Big Mama's Kitchen owner Patricia Barron said north Omaha should have been on the guide.She said she opened up her own restaurant in an old school two years ago, which has gained national notoriety and has led to appearances on cable's Food Network.Buffett apologized to Barron and said additional signage will be made to point people to her restaurant.

He said Bill Gates had dined at Big Mama's and raved about the place.Barron said the restaurant will extend its hours this weekend to accommodate the traffic.
