Advanced Learning Library
Welcome addition to updated downtown

After years of discussing the Central Library’s future, we finally saw the Advanced Learning Library come to fruition this past Saturday. We had the honor (along with 600 other volunteers) of participating the Ceremonial Book Brigade to pass 100 items by hand from the Central Library to the Advanced Learning Library about 0.7 miles away….

Thai Village
Casual Thai restaurant serving Thai and Lao options

Only a day after Thai House, coworkers suggested Thai Village and being on the Thai trend train, I obliged. I was determined to find a Thai restaurant that usurp my current (and potentially all-time) favorite. Nestled in a strip mall on the southeast side, you hardly notice it sandwiched in between a pool hall and…

Thai House
Go-to place for carryout Thai

I never thought that I would get into a heated argument with someone over best Thai food in Wichita. A coworker asked for a suggestion for Thai food, and I immediately said, “Chiang Mai”, and another coworker chimed in, “Thai House.” Our coworkers ultimately chose Thai House, so I decided that I needed to find…

The Kitchen Restaurant
Ok

The Kitchen Restaurant has never served me anything bad. Unfortunately, they’ve also never served me anything that was out of the ordinary or delicious or amazing.  I’ve only been there twice so I realize the limited sample size. As seen in the above picture, I ordered a turkey, apple, and brie sandwich.  See if you…

Picasso’s Pizzeria
Overcooked twice baked pizza

I like anchovies on pizza; I am okay with pineapple on pizza. That’s the kind of pizza person I am. Some people would never put either topping on pizza, but I say, let them eat pizza. I think pizza can polarize people, and people definitely have strong opinions about it. I know people that just…

Ty’s Diner
Historically Good Burgers

  As my handle implies, I have eaten a LOT of burgers in my life.  Many of them have been excuses.  Some of them have been life changing.  Few have made me feel good about my choices. Ty’s serves a good, smashed patty cooked on a flattop that is older than most people alive today. …

Bocco Deli
My favorite sandwich in Wichita

I am a creature of habit. Once I find something that I like to eat, I tend to eat that same thing when I return to the establishment. Such is the case with Bocco Deli.  It’s been open for a few years, is on at least the second owner, and continues to serve my favorite…

Yokohama Ramen Joint
Practically Wichita's only ramen place

When Yokohama Ramen Joint first opened, Wichitans flocked to it like they never ate ramen before (almost guaranteed that they had). I love ramen. If I told you honestly, I probably eat ramen a few times a week for dinner. We usually make instant dried or fresh ramen and jazz it up a bit with…
