Uno Mas Fresh Mex
Fancy and delicious street tacos

I always get excited for Uno Mas Fresh Mex days at the ICT Pop Up Park. Of the food trucks that come to the ICT Pop Up Park, I would vote Uno Mas Fresh Mex as my favorite. You can see from the long lines that typically form that Uno Mas Fresh Mex harbors a…

AVI Seabar & Chophouse
Hotel restaurant with above average hotel food

Few options exist for restaurant plated lunch in downtown Wichita, and of the options that do exist, 90% come associated with hotels. Of the hotel restaurant options that exist, I would call AVI Seabar & Chophouse a lesser evil. Coming with a traditional hotel price tag, they offer better options than other similar restaurants in…

Espresso To Go Go
Good vibes and good coffee

When Espresso To Go Go opened downtown, we turned our nose up at expensive coffee. Here we go with another Reverie, we thought. How could the cost of expensive coffee be that much better than our free office coffee? I visited 4 out of 5 days this work week. It might be a new obsession…

LumpiaPalooza
Less of a party and more of a gimmick

When you look around, you can see Wichita’s cultural renaissance happening. We have breweries, Hawaiian food, too many chicken restaurants, and finally Filipino food. If you have yet to be exposed to lumpia, lumpia is a spring roll commonly found in the Phillippines. Spring roll and egg roll are generally used interchangeably when discussing the…

Wheat Street Dogs
Vegan hot dogs at a reasonable price

Ever get upset at a ballpark when none of the vendors offer a completely vegan dog? Yeah, me neither. However, one hot dog cart has addressed this non-concern and decided to do it in Wichita. Welcome to Wheat Street Dogs. I followed Wheat Street Dogs in the news and gave them a couple months to…

Sweet Allie B’s
Good Food, Good Beer, Disconcerting Mannequins

Sweet Allie B’s is an ambitious endeavor. The space on North Waco includes the restaurant, catering facilities, and the adjacent Limestone Beer Company. I’ve enjoyed the beer on previous occasions.  Their outdoor seating provides a good environment for conversation and relaxation.  The inside of the restaurant is clean and the staff is pleasant and responsive….

Little Lion Petit Café
Waffles, ice cream, and breakfast burritos?

I forgot to pack breakfast and lunch. I forget to do this a couple times a week, and I’m usually either thawing a sandwich from the freezer or being hungry until leaving for lunch. Today, I remembered that Espresso To Go Go hosts the Little Lion Petit Café that serves ice cream, waffles, various baked…

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….

Bite Me BBQ
Not the worst BBQ in town

For some reason, this has become our go-to BBQ place in Wichita.  I’m not entirely certain why.  My best guess is that Bite Me BBQ is inoffensive and consistent.  The service is ALWAYS excellent, the décor is interesting, and the food is ok.  Parking on along St. Francis is always an adventure, so consider that…
