Dante is Strictly Authentic Neapolitan Pizza, Perfect Pasta and a Dedication to Italian Wine

Dante chef and owner Nick Strawhecker grew up in Omaha and discovered a passion for cuisine during a four-year stay in London while his father worked abroad for First Data Resources.

“We’d go to Belgium or the Netherlands for the weekend, spend weeks at a time in Italy,” Strawhecker said. “That experience in Europe is what piqued my interest in restaurants and food.”

Strawhecker’s first job was at Baker’s in Omaha while in high school. He moved on to Pizza Hut and a couple other restaurants before graduating and attending culinary school at Johnson and Wales in Providence, R.I. From there, he went to Flagstaff, Ariz. for hotel and restaurant management. He did this while also working at other restaurants in the area. After that, he attended another culinary program in the Chianti region of Italy.

“I’m a lucky person that I kind of knew what I wanted to do at a young age,” Strawhecker said. “So I hit the ground running with my career.”

In 2008, Strawhecker moved back to Omaha to open Dante.

“That was at the beginning of the Neapolitan pizza trend that really happened on the coasts in the mid-2000’s,” Strawhecker said. “There was no Neapolitan pizza really in the Midwest so we were kind of cutting-edge in Omaha. The idea was just pizza and Italian wine and some other simple dishes. We quickly expanded from that.”

Let’s talk about the pizza at Dante for a moment. Two of the most important aspects of a pizza are crust and sauce. In my own pizza making journey, there’s a particular pizza I aspired to match. This crust comes from a pizzeria in South Seattle called Pizzeria Pulcinell. The minute I tried that pizza, I knew I had to up my own pizza game. I’ve yet to find a pizzeria this side of New York City that has come as close to Pizzeria Pulcinella as Dante has.

Independent Review Validates Omaha’s Tax Increment Financing Program

An independent review of the City of Omaha’s Tax Increment Financing (TIF) program concluded that the city is compliant with state law. The review was completed by Forvis Mazars, an outside CPA and advisory firm.

The City hired Forvis Mazars following State Auditor Mike Foley’s September 2024 letter to the Nebraska Legislature on the use of TIF in Nebraska, and the suggestion from then-Senator Mike McDonnell that the City of Omaha should pause its use of TIF. The report provided no justification for pausing TIF, an effective economic development tool.

The city’s use of TIF has become an issue in the current mayoral race, which is now heating up. The primary is April 1st. The top two finishers will then compete in the general election on May 13th. McDonnell is one of several candidates challenging incumbent Jean Stothert.

Despite the campaign rhetoric, all indications are that TIF is being used properly and is boosting the city’s economic growth and development.

Forvis Mazars reviewed the city’s TIF program and processes for approving development projects, verifying of financing and affording opportunities for public input and information as required by the state’s Community Development Law.

As part of the study, Forvis Mazars randomly selected for review five TIF redevelopment projects approved in 2022 or 2023 including:

Aksarben Keys (2022) 64th & Center
Blackstone East (2022) 37th & Farnam
Mutual of Omaha headquarters (2022) 15th & Farnam
Digs Apartments Mason (2023) 3066 Mason
Square Apartments (2023) 30th & Leavenworth

The study reviewed the cost-benefit analysis for each project, the process for declaration of blighted or extremely blighted areas and publication on the city website.

The review also confirmed that the city submitted complete and on-time annual reports to the State of Nebraska Property Tax Administrator, the Omaha City Council, Douglas County and other affected taxing entities.

Forvis Mazar selected eight projects paid off between 2021 and 2023 and found all of them were in compliance.

Forvis Mazars did find two minor administrative findings in the study, both of which have been rectified by the city.

City finance director Steve Curtiss said the report shows that Omaha uses TIF appropriately for economic growth. “TIF does not put the city or taxpayers at risk,” he said.

Planning director Dave Fanslau said the city has a “well-vetted process that ensures only projects that qualify are approved.”

Since 2015, Omaha has approved 196 TIF applications for a total value of $548 million, resulting in $4.6 billion in new investment. Fanslau said his department disqualifies many TIF inquiries/proposals before they even reach the planning board.

In 2023, the Omaha City Council approved 23 projects for TIF financing. Six previous TIF loans were paid off.

Noddle Companies plans to build a 31-acre, mixed-use project at Gretna Landing, northwest of 192nd & Highway 370. The development will be anchored by a 130,000 sq. ft. office building and is expected to break ground in the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, it will include flexible space designed for services, as well as retail, food and beverage space, plus a 170-unit housing development.

More than 150 lane miles of Omaha streets will be resurfaced or replaced this year as part of Omaha’s Street Preservation Fund. The program started when voters approved a $200 bond issue in 2020. The 2025 program has a total of 41 projects including 21 major street resurfacing projects, 10 residential project areas comprised of numerous multi-block sections of road, eight reconstruction or concrete-repair projects and two brick-street repair projects. The total estimated cost is $28.6 million.

A 612-unit apartment complex is planned for the Avenue One development near 192 & West Dodge Road. The Omaha City Council is reviewing an amendment to the mixed-use development agreement to allow the multifamily project. Specifically located at 188th & Harney Street, the 18-acre site will have several apartment buildings, including a 120,000 sq. ft. building for seniors. The other five buildings will range from 9,000 to 20,000 sq. ft.

The Omaha Sports Commission this week announced Omaha as the newest host for the USA Crit national cycling race to be held in the Aksarben area on May 17. To be known as the “Aksarben Tirc,” this national event will be free to the public. It will attract more than 500 athletes and 3,000 people. The Tirc is a criterium, or “crit,” which are short-loop bike races on a closed road. The Omaha Sports Commission will own the event and plans to hold it annually as a signature event for the community.

Hawkins Construction quickly demolished and removed the Harney Street bridge over Interstate 480 last weekend. The bridge will be completely rebuilt to accommodate the streetcar project. Because of its advanced age, it was slated for replacement in the coming years even without the streetcar project. Completion is scheduled for late this year. The exact same thing will happen next year on the Farnam Street bridge one block to the north.

The University of Nebraska Medical Center has been designated an R1 institution by Carnegie, a classification that places it among the top research and doctoral-degree universities in the country. The Research Activity 1 designation, which officially begins in April, is the highest classification for an educational institution from the Institutions of Higher Learning by Carnegie. UNMC is one of only 187 universities in the country to receive the designation in 2025. It is based on research activity and number of research doctorates granted.

The Omaha City Council is reviewing the Tax Increment Financing loan agreement for a multi-family development at 4209 and 4215 Ellison Avenue. The total project cost is $5,15 million with TIF helping fund $859,437. The development will consist of three 4-unit and one 2-unit rowhouse-style buildings. The for-sale units will be 3-bedroom and 2-bathroom rowhouses.

Council Bluffs continues to move forward on a major development project on the northeast side of Lake Manawa. The city has been working on subdividing and developing plans to create 500 to 600 new housing units. This week, the city council approved an agreement with the Iowa Economic Development Authority for a $6,87 million award to help pay for infrastructure, construction of new homes and provide down payment assistance, up to $35,000 per buyer.

In addition to the IEDA award, the project will be funded by a local match of nearly $9 million, which is sourced from CDBG Entitlement funds, an EDI-CPF grant and the city’s own Housing Development Program. The major infrastructure project will be a connector between Mohawk Road to the west and East Manawa Drive to the east. Last Fall, the city approved plans for Phase 1 of the development from local developer Turn the Paige Homes to build 40 single-family houses. All units will be sold to households at or below 80 percent of the median income for a $175,000.00 sales price.

Berkshire Hathaway reported fourth-quarter 2024 earnings. The Warren Buffett-led conglomerate said its operating profit — which encompasses earnings from the company’s wholly owned businesses — skyrocketed 71 percent to $14.527 billion, according to CNBC.

The more advanced your degree, the longer it takes to find a job. That makes sense, because highly educated people have higher expectations from the job market.

UNO Baseball traveled to third-ranked LSU last weekend for a three-game series against the Tigers. The Mavericks lost game one on Friday 4-2 then split the double header on Saturday, winning game one 5-4 and losing game two 12-1. The upset over the Tigers Saturday made history as LSU is the highest ranked opponent UNO Baseball has ever played.

Luke Gainer, the relieving pitcher in UNO’s win Saturday threw 2.1 perfect innings of relief, good enough to earn him Summit League Peak Pitcher of the Week. He took over after former Millard North right-hander Ben Weber threw 3.2 scoreless innings to start the game.

UNO Basketball is guaranteed at least a share of the Summit League regular season title for the first time in school history. After defeating South Dakota 93-85 Saturday, and second-place St. Thomas’ loss to Oral Roberts, the Mavericks locked up at least a share of the conference title. They can clinch the regular season title outright by defeating Oral Roberts Saturday at Baxter Arena.

LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

High levels of trust have been proven to reduce employee turnover, according to Fast Company: “When managers are trustworthy, workers tend to be more loyal, engaged in their jobs and productive. Employees who perceive their managers as trustworthy report higher job satisfaction and are more willing to exert extra effort.”

You can have robust processes and set solid expectations, but if you don’t hold your people accountable, you won’t see real progress in your team, according to business author Anthony Iannarino.

As I go about my daily monitoring of the financial media, I get flummoxed by their egregious use of the word “investor.” It’s not uncommon for Kramer, et al, to begin the day, opining that “investors are elated/horrified that the Fed might raise/lower interest rates.”

Then at 2:00, they discover that Mr. Market has not performed as they had predicted, so they change their narrative to the fact that investors are elated/horrified about the possibility that Trump will impose ginormous tariffs on imports from every country on the planet.

All of this begs the question – which is also the iconic line from Hollywood’s most perfect movie – “Who are those guys?”

We can begin our quest to determine who “those guys” are by eliminating who they are not. In the 1970’s, the government created the IRA and 401(k) programs with the intention of eliminating company sponsored pension plans. Today, 73 percent of all the workers have access to a 401(k) plan, equating 130 million people.

Over the course of the past 45 years, many 401(k) participants have reached retirement age and rolled their 401(k) assets into IRAs. Close to 100 percent of these retirement account balances are in mutual funds and are held at the three major discount brokerage firms. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the total self-directed retirement account market equates to 160 million people and $36 trillion.

Now back to the original question: Who are these guys? During an average market day, somewhere between 7 and 9 billion shares are traded. This presents a conundrum. First, how could humans place that many trades? And second, if there are that many humans out there with their fingers on the enter button, how could Kramer talk to enough of them in order to determine their collective mind set?

On an average day 80 percent of the market trades are conducted between two computers that are programed to buy/sell on one exchange and then within a nano second buy/sell on another exchange for a profit. Less than 1 percent of the total trade volume comes from the discount brokerage firms where mom and pop keep their money.

AH HA! We have found those “GUYS”. They are ginormous server farms located in New Jersey, a scant two miles from the market’s primary computer located at 11 Wall Street.

Bottom Line: There are a bunch of really big companies with really big computers whose mission is to drive the market upward. If you own an index fund at a discount broker, you can join the ride for free.
