New premium sides at Wendy’s disappoint
Sarah Fulton, managing editor
May 12, 2012
Early this year I was delighted with changes Wendy’s had made to their cheeseburgers. They promised that the new “Dave” burgers were thicker, juicer and overall more delicious and they delivered. So when I saw the addition of new premium sides to their menu I was delighted. I had high expectations... Read more »
Best Regards Bakery good but not phenomenal
Sarah Fulton, managing editor
May 4, 2012
Overwhelmed by larger million dollar restaurants, Best Regards Bakery,6759 W 119th Street, is located in a quite unassuming strip mall. Large floor-to-ceiling windows, decorated with decals declaring things like cookies, make up the entire outer wall of the restaurant. Walking inside, I at first did... Read more »
Sylas and Maddy’s offers decent ice cream but lacks magic
Sarah Fulton, managing editor
April 26, 2012
Hiding in the corner of a strip mall and concealed by a Super Target, Sylas and Maddy’s Ice Cream, 11925 South Strang Line Road, is a Lawrence transport that found a second home in Olathe. My first impression was that the store smelled like sugar and was really clean. The mustard-colored walls highlighted... Read more »
Doughnut Factory good for a sugar high
Sarah Fulton, managing editor
April 20, 2012
An elderly man greeted me as I walked through the doors of Doughnut Factory, 9408 Johnson Dr in Shawnee Mission. He appeared to be the sole employee of the tiny doughnut shop and the only one that was needed. The store was small with only enough room for the man, his doughnut trays and about four customers....

Anthony’s Diner quiet place to eat

April 13, 2012
After swinging a sharp left into the tiny parking lot of Anthony’s Diner, 10 West 9th Street in Eudora, I was underwhelmed by the restaurant’s appearance. I expected it to be small, but it was really small. The front of the restaurant was completely flat and the width of the four parking spaces.... Read more »

March 30, 2012
An old Fulton family favorite, Avelluto’s Italian Delight, 6522 Martway St in Mission, has recently undergone a renovation and an additional in Kansas City. Having not been there in a while, I decided to see if the expansion had changed my favorite hole in the wall. The exterior was exactly the... Read more »

March 23, 2012
Two small family-owned Chinese restaurants have been serving the Shawnee area for years. China King, 22068 W 66th Street Shawnee, receives the majority of the orders because of its location in the busiest part of western Shawnee. East China, 5556 Hedge Lane Terrace, however, has delighted the crowd living... Read more »
Grandstand Burgers a Sunday afternoon destination
Sarah Fulton, managing editor
March 9, 2012
From the outside, Grandstand Burgers, 4942 Merriam Drive, appears to be a small, but spacious restaurant. The reflective windows and red trim add a bulk to the restaurant that deceives the inside. I was expecting to find a diner-style restaurant, with a bar near the cooking area and some booths for patrons... Read more »
Service shines at the Santa Fe Cafe
Sarah Fulton, managing editor
February 24, 2012
I woke up on the morning of Monday, Feb. 20 with what I thought was a bad case of the grumps. I was tired and cranky, yet off I went to breakfast the Santa Fe Café, 9946 W. 87th Street. During the 20 minute drive I became increasingly cold and queasy. I was not at all in the mood to deal with food,... Read more »
Georgetown Pharmacy’s Soda Fountain a true gem
Sarah Fulton, managing editor
February 17, 2012
After wading through a sea of Medicare-approved recliners and support hose, I finally find my destination, an old-timey soda fountain. Located in Georgetown Pharmacy, 5605 Merriam Drive, the Soda Fountain is a truly a unique stop. It is separated from the pharmacy by only an arch way and a change in... Read more »
