Cowboy Chicken
Another chicken, another restaurant

After complaining incessantly about Wichita’s chicken trend, we finally review a chicken restaurant, namely Cowboy Chicken. An import from Texas, Cowboy Chicken offers rotisserie chicken with a Texas flare, including cloyingly sweet tea and country music. A fast casual type restaurant, you order at the counter and they deliver your food to your seat. We…

Kona Ice
Basic snow cone with DIY syrups

We stumbled upon Kona Ice at PedalFest 2018, and after a long morning of volunteering, all we needed was a cold treat. Kona Ice exists as a mobile, Hawaiian-style shaved ice franchise, and we happen to have one here in Wichita. Kona Ice generally does events only, but I believe they do occasionally show up…

Wasabi Sushi Bar East
Less than optimal location for good sushi

If you are fed up reading Japanese restaurant reviews, we are just as tired of writing them. However, due to the advancement of Japan to the Knockout Rounds of the World Cup, we thought it would be appropriate to eat at a Japanese restaurant for good luck before watching Japan play Belgium. (Yes, as I…

Da Cajun Shak
Best (and only?) Cajun restaurant in Wichita

With news of Da Cajun Shak owners hopping on the chicken bandwagon and opening a fried chicken restaurant, I felt a little disappointed because Da Cajun Shak original will always be the most surprisingly good place that I have ever been. You ever walk into a restaurant located in a strip mall and prepare yourself…

Two Olives
Good food that makes you feel good

DISCLAIMER: I am a vegetarian and I like a good salad. Very few places come to mind when someone asks, “Where can I find a good salad in Wichita?” Some suggestions could include Doc Greens or Panera, but neither of those choices make me crave salad. My cravings for Two Olives’s quinoa crunch salad border…

Bricktown Brewery
Not my favorite brewery

With Wichita’s recent brewery trend, up came Bricktown Brewery from Oklahoma. Bricktown Brewery offers a selection of proprietary beer as well as a full bar. I generally avoid breweries because I am not fond of beer, but a gathering with friends took me here. Bricktown Brewery draws crowds because of its atmosphere (televisions and outdoor…

Freezing Moo
Less expensive rolled ice cream

After filling our bellies with warm Korean food, we headed out to Freezing Moo at Greenwich Place for a cool treat. Freezing Moo exists as a regional franchise that offers rolled ice cream. Similar to the frozen yogurt trend a few years ago, Wichita picked up on the rolled ice cream trend within the last…

Hot Stone Korean Grill
Go-to Korean on northeast side

  We headed out to the far end of town to eat some delicious Korean food at Hot Stone Korean Grill a few days ago.  It had been a while since any of us had been there and were looking forward to our Korean food fix. The environment is cool and calming, maybe a bit…
