A coffee and cocktail-filled eight days in Omaha
I don’t know about all of you, but I have really, really been enjoying being out and about this past week. Maybe it’s the extra zing I felt after I got my Covid booster. Maybe it’s that there is just so much new and exciting stuff happening around Omaha. Maybe it’s being invited to soft…

On the Edge of Essential: Six more spots worth checking out
There’s been no shortage of suggestions as to the spots I may have left off my list of 38 Essential Omaha restaurants. To that end, I decided to share six that made my first working list, but didn’t make the final cut. But that doesn’t mean I like them any less — or that they’re…

There’s (another) momo in town you should try
I’ll keep this one brief and to the point: Omaha has a new spot for Nepalese dumplings, aka momos. We were surprised — and pleased! — to spot them on the appetizer menu at The Jaipur one recent evening, when we headed out west for dinner in Rockbrook Village. We like the Jaipur for several…

Is this the best kale salad in Omaha?
Way back in the olden days — 2012 to be exact — kale was the hottest vegetable in the city. Go to any mid-to-higher end restaurant, and there it was, below seared fish, crisped up as a chip in a bowl of vegetable chips, sautéed into some sort of old-school creamy side dish. It was…

The newest take on a bierock? A savory hand pie “Funza”
I’ve been wanting to check out the new Carter & Rye brick and mortar location, off 35th and Center, since I’d heard it opened earlier this year. I’d had great experiences with their delicious hand pies, both at farmers markets and at a long-ago pop-up event at Rally Coffee. Kate Anderson’s fit-in-the-palm-of-your-hand pies, with their…

Don’t want to go out tonight? Might I suggest Taco Night at Home?
On a recent Saturday night, one with spring weather so fickle we couldn’t possibly dine on a patio, I made a proclamation: It was going to be Taco Night at Home, and I was going to cook. As any home cook knows, sometimes you just make your mind up on something and nothing is going…

A recipe so easy its not even a recipe
I thought you might enjoy some cooking content this week, particularly as, post Pizza Bracket Life, I’ve been enjoying making some meals for dinner at home these days. I recently ordered the new New York Times Cooking book from Sam Sifton: “No Recipe Recipes.” (Jump to the recipe) I’d seen Sam write his “no recipe…

2020 closed these five restaurants. We will miss them in 2021.
It’s been a long year for restaurants, chefs, owners and the service industry workers who have fought through the 2020 pandemic. It’s been a long year for diners, too, trying to support the restaurants and bars we care about most to make sure they stay open. Business owners pivoted once in the spring, and then…
