Without looking at a map, who knows where Hoxie is? Some of you are raising your hands. For the folks who are struggling: It’s where you get Seattle-style sushi in a town of maybe 1,200 people. As far as big cities go, Hoxie’s about 270 miles east of Denver and 350 miles west of Kansas City. There’s one flashing stoplight. “We are in a food desert out here,” says Emily Campbell. “We don’t have a lot of eating options.” Her restaurant, The Elephant Bistro and Bar, is changing that. When it opened almost three years ago, the number of dining establishments in Hoxie jumped from two to three.
