Faturday Omaha

Faturday At Caribbean Delights

A long standing Faturday favorite is coming your way this episode with Caribbean Delights at 2304 N 72nd St. While TJ and I are no stranger to this location, this was Danell’s first foray into the flavors owner Hubert is bringing to the table. Things have changed a bit within the restaurant but the classics like Jerk Chicken, Ox Tail, and of course the beef patties are all served with warm temps and warm spices. If you haven’t been well, Danell and I will take you there.  Hang on to your fork and listen if you’re hungry.

Jackie Robbins of Rib Shack

"Hi, welcome to Rib Shack!" That is what you might hear when you walk in the doors at 10841 Q St Suite 105 in Omaha and the voice saying that might just be owner and operator Jackie Robbins. Jackie has been through so much in her life, but keeps pushing forward with her signature smile and positive outlook. She and husband Malcolm relocated to Omaha after departing two restaurants in St. Louis, MO. Their ribs and that delicious mac and cheese are here in Omaha and we have Jackie here on the show.

Blue Skye Brewery And Cozy Inn

If you’ve been listening to the show for a bit you have heard me say Omaha and elsewhere quite a few times. This episode is an elsewhere as TJ and I stopped at two spots in Salina, Kansas for this episode. The first was a recommendation from an amazing public library director with the pizza of Blue Skye Brewery and the second was a spot that I have been curious about for years and that is the Cozy Inn that has been serving up burgers since Warren G. was regulating, no not the rapper, the president, as in 1922…so

Glenn Greet of Chippy’s

Is this store really bigger on the inside? Is there magic on the shelves? Comfort for weary and homesick travelers?  Maybe so and it’s all at Chippy's Omaha 2718 S 123rd Ct. here in Omaha and we have dreamer and owner of Chippy’s, Glenn Greet, on this episode. There’s nothing fawlty in Glenn’s premise to bring all of the things he loves and misses from England here to the shores…shores?...of Omaha, Nebraska. Our conversation is all about the excitement within Chippy’s, my first experience there involving some unexpected magic, and a story about a cookbook you won’t want to miss.

Faturday Omaha At Malaras

Oh yes it’s pasta and motz stick time as TJ and I traverse the menu of Malara’s Italian Restaurant 2123 Pierce St in Omaha. I’ve eaten at Malara’s over the years as has TJ, but they haven’t been presented within the Faturday Omaha ethos until this episode. We canvassed the menu to present multiple plates to you and we are thankful for the kind service received at the restaurant. We will get into this neighborhood gem serving Omaha diners since 1984 and dig into dishes from Spaghetti and delicious sauce to TJ’s nostalgic take on a salad?

Faturday Omaha At Chaima’s African Cuisine

Tucked away at 5060 S 107th St, Omaha, NE 68127 is Chaima’s African cuisine, and tucked within are very accessible and delicious flavors to delight the senses. It’s been a bit since I’ve walked through these doors though I have been to Chaima’s food truck that you may have seen around town. Since my last visit there have been wonderful updates to the interior of the restaurant, but the flavors are still delivered to the table from a knowledgable hand. Let’s talk chicken, let’s talk fufu, and let’s talk tasty so…

Brad Grosser and Jason Russell of Sojourn Cafe

Way back in the before times I had visited Sojourn Cafe at 7614 Main St in Ralston,NE and that stop left a wonderful memory in my family's mind. Fast forward a couple pancakes and here we are today and we have Owner and Head Chef Brad Grosser and Sous Chef Jason Russell on this very episode.  Our Food Recognize Food conversations start with food and lead to heart and soul. In this conversation we’re gonna talk breakfast, lunch, gardens, art, and overcoming challenges.   so…

Faturday At Pla Too Thai

I love Thai food, do you love Thai food too? You might just love the Thai food at Pla Too Thai located at 5092 S 136th St. This was a spot that I had seen many times on Q st. but never made it there. Well they have moved from their prior location to the136th St spot and they have a wonderful dining environment with food to match. TJ, Faturdad, and I all dined in together, Danell made a trip, and I did a take out too. We had a great sampling of the dishes on this menu and we’re about to bring the flavor to you,  so…
Hang on to your fork, stay right where you are and listen if you’re hungry.
P.S. A special thanks at the end to Kitchen Table
 

Nat and Adam Ogura of Yum Omaha

There’s about to be new experiences and taste adventures on this episode as we have Nat and Adam Ogura from Yum Omaha back on the show. You may remember Nat talking about restaurants she likes to eat at in Omaha and also in her home country of Japan on a prior episode, but on this episode she brought Japan to us. We will talk about Adam and Nat’s time in Japan and you’ll get my real time reactions to food she brought for me to try and no she didn’t give me a heads up on what was coming my way so…
