Re: WINNERS: Best-ter-est of Omaha 2008

Hey Michael,

I think you misunderstood what this post was about. This isn't a list of what Gastronomic Fight Club thinks is the Best Food in Omaha. This was the result of voting from our readers. If you look at the Notes below the results, you can look at the raw voting data yourself. If you disagree, we'll be opening up voting for the 2009 version of this poll *very soon*. Just keep an eye on the blog or join our Facebook fan page.

All that said, I agree with most of your comments. If you want to see GFC's take on the Best Mexican Food in Omaha, check out this link: http://www.gastronomicfightclub.com/blog/food/2...

I think it's just called Ethiopian Restaurant. It's at 2555 Leavenworth St.

Re: Where's the best Mexican food in Omaha @ GFC

I know one of the ice cream shops on 24th serves corn on the cob and I'm pretty sure it's elote style. I still stand by the places on the map for getting good carnitas. Los Compayes, Taqueria Tijuana and Taqueria El Rey in particular.

Re: The Best Adjustable Spice Rack @ GFC

snekse — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:55:03 -0000

I've looked at those magnet racks, but I'm not a fan of the idea of needing to transfer spices to another container. Still considering it though if I can't find anything.

There are actually 3 Korean restaurants in Omaha that I know of ( http://bit.ly/q9zc4 ). None of them are great, but none of them are horrible.

The last one I went to, with Jason @ FoodGeekery, was Han Kuk Kwan. You can check out his review here:

The Osso Bucco at Biaggis was served on the bone, so you could dig our some marrow with that, but it looks like they have castrated their menu and took everything that was good off of it. I hope I'm wrong about that.

Vivace's is supposed to be bringing their Osso Bucco back on their menu, so you could try their.

You could also try Le Voltaire or The Boiler Room. If you call ahead by a couple of weeks, you might be able to request it. Or you could just try to get some yourself and roast it at home. Talk to a butcher and have them save you some bones.

Awesome. Glad to hear.

Can you post a link to your article on why you decided to re-enable Disqus?

I second Seth's request

I assume you mean Louie M's Burger Lust. I've never really cared for their burgers. Every time I've been, they were kind of dry.

Surprisingly I thought the revamped burgers on the new Burger Star menu were pretty darn good, but I've only been once, so it might have been a fluke.

Any idea of when "soon" is?

Re: Hunting Morel Mushrooms @ GFC

snekse — Tue, 19 May 2009 13:17:23 -0000

We went mushroom hunting again this year, but this time in Peru, NE. The one thing I noticed was I found more in open areas than I did in heavily wooded areas. One theory is that it was still early in the season and the wooded areas were too cold and maybe didn't get enough sunlight. I also found a lot in some burned field areas, but some people think that's just because they are easier to see against the black ground.

Sorry for the delay in responding. It's really never too early to start looking :-) Well, maybe if there's snow still on the ground...

Seriously though, once the rain starts to come and you have some fairly warm days, you could start looking. There are several sites that have maps that report findings. If you watch the maps, you'll have an idea of when to start looking. They progress from the Southeast to the Midwest. So when they start showing up in Missouri, I'd start looking in Nebraska. That time frame is usually within the 4 weeks before Mother's Day.

Here are some sightings maps:

Sorry to hear you had such a horrible experience. Did you speak with a manager? It's unacceptable for a table to be forgotten and a manager should do everything in their power to make sure you leave at least satisfied in such a circumstance.

So what steakhouses in Omaha do you recommend?

Re: Now Available: Commenting with Twitter Sign-in

snekse — Tue, 19 May 2009 12:43:41 -0000

No doubt. I am trying to be very patient while waiting for an OpenID button just like this new Twitter one. Something along the lines of ClickPass would be just AWESOME since it would help users see ALL of their login options.

Where exactly are the instructions?

Any new info on this? When someone goes to leave a comment on my blog, I would expect to see an OpenID login button.

Re: Creating users through the API

snekse — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:47:20 -0000

I'm still not sure I fully understand how the Disqus API create_post request is supposed to work.

For example if I click on the user profile picture for this lone comment:
http://gastronomicfightclub.disqus.com/review_f...

I'm directed to this page:
http://disqus.com/people/732cd09a4079565924d2a0...

Which tells me:
"We couldn't find anyone with that email address."

Yet the email displays just fine in the mailto so I'm not sure what the deal is. I'd appreciate some help.

Re: Creating users through the API

snekse — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:43:23 -0000

So I'm going to try re-importing in all of my comments. Is there an easy way to mass delete all of the existing comments?

Sorry, hit reply on the wrong comment. See my comment below.

Re: Enter FB Api key

snekse — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:43:17 -0000

I didn't really "fix" it, it just worked in Chrome which uses the same rendering engine as Safari that @hamigoDOTcom used. For whatever reason, when I clicked the Facebook checkbox in Internet Explorer and Firefox, nothing happened. The form field just didn't appear, so there was no place to enter my FB API key.

Re: Creating users through the API

snekse — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:22:46 -0000

I guess what I meant was if I import in an address of noreply+John Smith@gmail.com and John Smith want's to "claim" his comments on Disqus, how would that work?

Re: Creating users through the API

snekse — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:01:26 -0000

I'm assuming it has to be a valid email address? Like do they have to respond to an email to verify or something?

Re: Enter FB Api key

snekse — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:52:07 -0000

Thanks for the tip. Chrome resolved the issue for me. Also tried FF and IE with no luck.
