>For hot: The only place I know will make it very hot is the Jaipur -
Indian food - I have not actually been here, but have been to their
restaurant in Lincoln, ne called The Oven - wonderful! Jaipur has a good
Jalapeno beer ( I know because I just had it at The Oven - but their beers
are brewed at the Jaipur). Since I have not actually had a chance to hit
their Omaha digs, you will have to look in phone book for address or get
directions from hotel staff.

>If you like BBQ, not spicy hot but wonderfully delicious, go to McKennas
Blues Booze and BBQ(can you go wrong with a name like that?). I highly
recommend the smoked brisket, the Badwich, the baby red potato salad, and
their own brews (I like the red). My husband likes their spider sandwich
(crab), and their bbq chicken.

>There is supposed to be a new Mexican restaurant in the southern area of
town now but we have not hit it yet - I think around 24th and a little
south of L? Supposed to have rave reviews. Other good Mexican should be in
this area of town as it seems to be the Hispanic area of town. One we have
been to in this area is Tio Pepe?( I think) on 33rd and L if I remember
right - authentic (of course).

I agree with all the previously posted ideas of Renae, though I would add a
couple others. I would try Ahmad's in the Old Market. It is a small
restaurant serving Persian food. The owner is the cook. You will get some
very authentic food. He has a lamb dish that comes in a pint bowl with a
red
tomato/ginger sauce in it. No peppers but it is spicy from the ginger.
There is also a Vietnamese restaurant called The New Saigon located on Dodge
street at about 40th street in a hot sheet hotel. Great food and the cook
will make it hotter than most places.
P.S. If you want contact me off list and I could arrange for a fix of chiles
while your in the big 'O. The habs (Congo Reds) are doing great.
