Faturday Omaha

Faturday Omaha At Smoking Jay‘s BBQ

Beef ribs, brisket, beans, and other BBQ bounty from Smoking Jay’s on 13th and Vinton Street. I was even healthy and had apples…..fried then dusted with powdered sugar then drizzled with caramel…we tried, right? Owner Jackie Griffin is smokin' up the good meats in a comfy spot for you, and the brisket sandwich mmm yep a personal favorite at Smoking Jay’s.

Faturday Omaha At Yoshitomo

Happy holiday greetings! We hope you’re safe and warm and I can safely say that on this episode you will be listening about one of the top meals the Faturday crew has ever had and it was at Yoshitomo. Dave “Yoshitomo” Utterback has been nominated for the prestigious James Beard award and he and his staff gave our official First Annual Faturday Feast that sense of holiday wonder.  The full complement of Faturday, that being Dave, Sam, and TJ, were given a gift of an experience we won’t forget as our minds and hearts were touched in the form of a wonderful meal.

Faturday Food Recognize Food w/ Ashish and Kim Sathyan of Kinaara

It’s Food Recognize Food with Ashish and Kim Sathyan of Kinaara, a delicious Indian focused restaurant in the Millard area of Omaha. Kim and Ashish are not just the owners of Kinaara, but are foodies at heart. We will travel through Omaha, to Paris and the Kerala region of India through our conversation, and the episode has an excellent wrap up with how Ashish honors meaningful dishes from his past.

Faturday Omaha At Astoria Biryani House

Naan nom noms as the Faturday crew catches curry at Astoria Biryani House! Dave was able to eat in and experience the Thali which is a wonderful way to introduce yourself to Indian food if you haven’t had it before. Even if you have had this delicious cuisine you’ll have a fun time with this sampler that travels from appetizer to dessert. We got more than that and you’ll find out if TJ’s chicken dish was indeed 490 more (give or take) than the Chicken 65.

Faturday Food Recognize Food Good Life Charcuterie, Jasmine Deane and Muncheese 402, Gary Todd

Charcuterie and Cheeseburgers, it’s a double feature of Food Recognize Food. We start with Jasmine Deane owner and artist of Good Life Charcuterie, her locally sourced product, and of course where she likes to eat. Jasmine is new to the Omaha area, but she has adopted it as her home and Omaha has adopted her. She is busy making things happen for small to large grazing tables.  Then in the second half we talk with Gary Todd, owner of Muncheese 402 a new late night delicious burger spot that features fun egg rolls like the Italian inspired Mama Mia and a burger our Burger Boss Sam would approve of called the Boss Burger.

Faturday Omaha At Nepali Restaurant Inc

Time for momo and more at a new spot, Nepali Restaurant Inc. We may have ordered a lot, we usually do, but there were fun and new to us Nepalese dishes besides momo here. This was an interesting dining configuration as TJ was keeping very distant in his mini-van and Sam and I, along with our guests, were dine-in. There was even post-eat analysis with a trip back just to unpack the sauce for the delicious dumplings. We had a fun meal in a new spot, so if you haven’t ventured into Nepalese food you’re in for an extra treat.

Food Recognize Food with Sarah Baker Hansen, she has been covering the Omaha food scene for quite a while in print and digital media, ran the fun and controversial pizza bracket, and we had a fun conversation about journalism, ballet, and of course a ton of food!

Fatuday Food Recognize Food With Kirsten Ipock Of Site 1 Brewing

It's Food Recognize Food with Kirsten Ipock  of Site 1 Brewing, Cracklin Pots popup, and the Omaha Service Industry Circle. Kirsten and I had a great conversation in Site 1 about places she likes to eat, a meal that may or may not have sealed the deal on a marriage, and what drew me to talking with Kirsten which is her efforts with the Omaha Service Industry Circle that provides an open and supportive environment to talk about struggles and navigating life in the service industry. Our conversation starts with food and leads to heart and soul.

Faturday Omaha At Ray‘s Wings and Pizza

Ray's Wings and Pizza specializes in bringing Buffalo New York eats to a state where the buffalo did roam once upon a time. Located in Midtown off of 31st and Farnam they have the wings bearing the name of buffalo and this is likely the only place in town where you can get a Buffalo New York style crust pizza loaded with toppings. Oh and….we have a special guest toward the end of the first half of the show that may provide you with useful information to help you navigate the wings of the prairie (read that in your choice of PBS nature show or wild west movie voice)
