Review: At Tracks, carefully crafted chicken wings keep regulars coming back

By Sarah Baker Hansen

At Tracks Lounge, chicken wings might be the main attraction.

You would be hard pressed to walk past the handful of patio tables or the regulars holding up the bar and not see a basket of extra large, charred, saucy wings in front of them, along with a beer and a pile of crumpled napkins.

Count me and eight of my friends and four kids among them one recent Tuesday night, when we gathered over no fewer than a half dozen baskets of wings of all flavors, many beers and many, many napkins.

I’ve eaten wings at four destinations over the past few weeks, and I can tell you this: Tracks are some of the best that I’ve tried.

“I’ve worked in the industry my whole adult life, and one thing that sets us apart,” said co-owner Mark Pogge when I talked to him later, “is that all our sauces are made from scratch, not just Frank’s Red Hot and butter.”

That and the fact that every wing at Tracks goes straight “from the fridge right to the fryer,” Pogge said. There’s no par cooking and no frozen chicken. That, he said, makes a difference in the texture and taste of the final product.

We found large, juicy wings across the board with plenty of different styles of sauce. Probably my favorite was the mild Buffalo char buffed and then re-dipped in Parmesan garlic sauce. Similar to the wings I most liked at Everett’s, this combination in particular is killer. If you prefer more heat, you can also get this combination with the hot Buffalo sauce, which we did, and which had a significant jump in terms of spiciness.

Pogge said combining different sauces is something Tracks has been doing for years, and now other wing places have followed suit.

“We have regulars that mix and match three sauces and want me to name (the combination) after them,” he said, chuckling.

Another thing Pogge and his co-owners — his brother Justin Pogge and friend Dylan Foster — have seen since they took over Tracks last June is customers crazy for “Hot Ones” style super spicy wings.

One of my friends ordered Tracks super spicy “Twisted” wing and found it, well, super hot. I think he came close to eating half the wings in his basket, and took the rest to go. I definitely saw some sweat on his brow, not gonna lie.

Tracks uses Ghost pepper sourced from Bellevue-based Volcanic Peppers in its hottest sauce, among other secret ingredients.

“We have a couple regulars that get the Twisted wings double dipped and then bring their own hot sauces because it’s not enough,” Pogge said.

Back in the day, when it opened in 1965, Tracks was known for its broasted chicken, and Pogge said it’s still on the menu today, one of just a handful of Omaha spots still serving it. Though chicken wings weren’t on those early menus, chicken was, and it’s always been a staple.

I will admit I didn’t try those super spicy wings — I get heartburn, friends — but I did enjoy an order of the milder Guinness infused honey barbecue wings topped with chopped fresh jalapeno. (Tracks offers jalapenos, extra homemade ranch or extra homemade blue cheese for an additional $.50.)

The Guinness brings a pleasant, almost savory nuttiness to the sauce that’s balanced by the pure, rich sweetness of honey. I liked the kicky crunch the jalapenos added, and that’s an add on I would try again. My friend ordered the Thai peanut — one of two new sauces the new owners added to the menu, along with mango habanero.

She described it as “very peanutty, and great for kids.” I was too full of char buffed wings to try it by the time her order arrived, but I did appreciate the clever topping of chopped peanuts, a-la pad Thai.

Tracks is, at its heart, a neighborhood dive bar that just happens to serve some of the best, most thoughtfully crafted chicken wings around. I’ll be back, not just for the friendly service and fun atmosphere, but yes, for the chicken, too.

Urban Apartment Construction Update

Omaha has one of the healthiest apartment markets in country with high occupancy and thousands of new units under construction. Today we provide a construction progress report on some of the major apartment projects under development in the urban core.

Leavenworth Lofts

Sullivan Development Company has broken ground on Leavenworth Lofts, a 28-unit apartment building located at 3612 Leavenworth Street. With construction scheduled to be completed Spring of 2025, Leavenworth Lofts will include one-bedroom and one-bedroom-with-den floorplans averaging 1,000 sq. ft. Penthouse units on the fifth-floor will also be available and feature secured access and private roof top terraces. Unique to Leavenworth Lofts is a short-term rental option for units on the lower level as well as a gallery in the lobby that will spotlight rotating exhibits by local artists.

Boho Flats

Construction is going vertical on the Boho Flats, a 4-story building on the northwest corner of 13th & Pine Street in Little Bohemia. The building will have 59 apartment units plus 5,000 sq. ft. of street-level retail space.

Dizzy Mule

This project is both an historic renovation and new construction all in one. Located on a square block at 12th & Izard Street in North Downtown’s Millwork Commons district, the Dizzy Mule will have 172 apartment units. The two new, 5-story buildings are immediately east and west of a 3-story renovated historic building. The two new buildings are now enclosed.

37 West Farnam

This 9-story building is appropriately located at 37th & Farnam Street. It’s immediately west of the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel and east of Dundee Bank’s historic Blackstone office. The building will have street-level retail space. The middle floors are a city-owned parking garage that will be open to the public. The top five floors are apartments. Crews are now framing the top two floors.

Completion is planned for late this year. When it comes to size, scale and street presence, this might be the most significant apartment project under development in Omaha at this time.

48th & Dodge Apartment Building

This project doesn’t have quite the same street presence in the project mentioned above, but it will be a massive building nonetheless. Located on the southeast corner of 48th & Dodge Street, this $82 million, 5-story building will have 330 apartment units and will incorporate the historic Pittman building into the design. Workers are currently building the underground parking structure beneath the future apartments.

Flats on Howard

Located on the southeast corner of 24th & Howard Street, the Flats on Howard building is now enclosed while work continues on the interior. The 5-story building will have 120 apartment units.

The Square Apartments

Located at 3001 Leavenworth, this 78-unit, 4-story building is part of an area that is transforming into a hip urban neighborhood. Crews are now framing the second floor.

Future Projects

In addition to the projects already underway, we are anticipating a few more projects to begin soon including:

1. The Duo – 700 apartments to be developed inside the Central Park Plaza twin towers at 15th & Farnam Street downtown. $163 million.

2. Walter Apartments – A 4-story, 58-unit apartment building on the site of a vacant laundromat at 50th & Leavenworth

3. The Nicholas Apartments – A 5-story building with 78 market-rate apartments and 12,429 sq. ft. of commercial space along the east side of 12th Street between Nicholas and Izard streets.

4. Saddle Creek Road & Mason Street – This will be a 4-story, 195-unit project immediately south of Baker’s Supermarket.

5. Civic Square – This mixed-use development on the 9-acre site of the old Civic Auditorium will have hundreds of apartments in addition to office, retail and possibly civic space. Construction could start by the end of this year.

That means Omaha’s new library is one of the largest philanthropic commitments to any public library system in the United States in recent years. The 96,000 sq. ft. library is under construction at 72nd & Dodge Street and is scheduled to open in 2026. Support came from 282 foundations, corporations and individuals plus $20 million from the City of Omaha.

Omaha has the 15th lowest retail vacancy rate among the nation’s top 61 markets and fourth highest trailing 12-month rent growth. The local retail market totals 65 million square feet.

And now for the most critically important news of the week – Omaha is the second cheapest place buy chicken wings among America’s 50 largest cities, according to Betway, a sports gambling company. A six-wing order in Omaha costs an average of $7.95. Baltimore is the cheapest at $7.76. Austin is the most expensive at $18.96.

Minneapolis has the highest concentration of wing restaurants per capita with 9 restaurants per 10,000 people. Omaha’s ratio is 3.09 per 10,000. By the way, the average person consumes 18,000 chicken wings in their lifetime.

McDonald’s and Chipotle and other chains have said they will raise menu prices in California to cover some of the cost.

LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

Task delegation is one of the most essential skills that makes a leader successful, yet only 28 percent of companies offer training on delegation skills for their managers.

We all know that listening to your people is a crucial leadership skill but why is that? For one thing, your team is your eyes and ears, not to mention your lifeline.

Sixty-five percent of employees say the quality of training and learning opportunities positively influences their engagement, according to Spotio.

Business Travel – Here are the five U.S. airports with the longest walks from check-in to your gate, according to USA Today: 1. Dallas-Fort Worth, 2.16 miles; 2. Washington Dulles, 1.62 miles; 3. Houston George Bush, 1.52 miles; 4. Denver, 1.45miles; New York JFK, 1.38 miles.

There are now more than 5.5 million Americans with liquid investible assets of more than $1 million, according to CNBC. Over the past five years, the number of U.S. millionaires has grown 35 percent, nearly twice as fast as China’s. The United States is now home to 37 percent of the world’s millionaires, up from 35 percent in 2018.

The divergence grows even more at the top of the wealth ladder. The United States has 9,850 centi-millionaires — those worth $100 million or more — compared with China’s 2,352. The United States has about 788 billionaires to China’s 305.

SALES

Sales is as much about the heart as it about the head, says Mike Weinberg, author of Sales Management Simplified. “A miserable accountant can still do great work…But good luck trying to find a miserable salesperson who is bringing in new business and delivering her numbers month in and month out…Miserable, mistreated salespeople don’t sell…Because when their company’s anti-sales culture gets out of control, top producers go elsewhere.”

Here’s a closing question you might try courtesy of HubSpot: “If we meet your price, is there any reason you wouldn’t do this deal today?” Oftentimes there are other concerns than price. Once a number is agreed upon, you can make sure there’s nothing else holding the prospect back.

The topic for this edition of my incredibly insightful commentary is the constantly evolving nature of the stock market, and the response of Wall Street to continue to operate as though it’s still 1995.

The purveyors of the S&P 500 index announced that they have completed a gaggle of adjustments to their benchmark market index.

For starters, they are adding Super Micro Computers, Inc. (SMCI) to the index. In and of itself, this is insignificant because the S&P 500 is weighted by market cap, and the market cap of Super Micro is only $53.4 billion dollars.

In comparison to the other movers and shakers in the index, this is hardly a speck on the backside of a gnat. But the reason it is important is because it is part of AI revolution. AI is beginning to trickle down into a plethora of non-tech stocks and altering the dynamics of the index and impacting Mr. Market’s mood. Yet, every time the market reaches a new high, the mental giants of Wall Street proclaim that the END IS NEAR!

Another example of where the market has moved on – and yet the financial media remain in their 1990’s modus operandi – comes from the financial media rumor mongers. They recently reported that 45 percent of Buffett’s investment portfolio is invested in A.I. related stocks, and thus individual investors need to pile on before the train leaves the station. Two of their touts are Snowflake and Amazon. Their combined presence in the Berkshire portfolio represents less than one tenth of one percent of Berkshire’s market cap. Hardy a screaming endorsement from W.E.B.

In addition, the chain of command at Berkshire Hathaway changed dramatically 25 years ago. Buffett understood that the investment portfolio was not the main driver of Berkshire Hathaway’s success. Buying $500 million worth of a publicly traded stock does not move Berkshires needle. The only way they could move the needle was to purchase whole companies. So, Buffett stepped back from running the daily operations of Berkshire’s investment portfolio and handed that job over to the two T’s, Todd and Ted.

Wall Street and their media brown-nosers often take a rear-view mirror approach to today’s electronic and eclectic stock market. Buffett says he chooses to live in Omaha so he will not get sucked into Wall Street’s jibber jabber. For as long as I can remember – which is about a day and a half – the Oracle of Omaha has advised individual investors to trust the power of the U.S. economic engine and to “Forget the needle and buy the haystack.”
