Wichita, Kansas

[YoungCounty 165]

I will be there next week. I understand, it’s Kansas, so y’all will mostly all say it sucks. 
 

But if anyone has any recommendations on things to do, places to eat, etc it would be much appreciated.

Be sure to get a cab ride from Doobie. He’s damn proud of his town.

Have someone FedEx your food to you.

Doodah Diner for breakfast. Fizzburger for lunch and Chester’s for a good steak dinner. 
the Wichita Aviation Museum by McConnell AFB is good and the B-29 “Doc” has a hangar out at the airport. OldTown has a number of bars and eating places and the Museum of World Treasures. It’s a wide ranging display of local collectors stuff. Everything from Egyptology to Civil War to fossils and geology. The Delano district west of the river has several good places to eat and drink. The All Indian Center is worth a look and at nightfall they light the torch of “The Keeper Of The Plains” statue at the confluence of the Little Arkansas and Arkansas rivers. That should give you enough places to google and explore. If you have any specific questions, I’ll answer what I can. It’s not a complete wasteland, we get by.

The two people you see are the guys I was with. This was on a Friday night a few years back in a sports bar during football season.

The Scotch and Sirloin still around? That was the place…back when I spent time there 20 years ago.

Yes, it's still going. Still a pretty good place to eat or so I've been told. I haven't been in there in a couple  years so I can't speak to its quality nowadays.

Not too surprising to see the picture of  the sports bar on a Friday. I'm sure it's a different story on a Saturday and especially so on a Sunday. Folks love their Chiefs around here and those that don't, love their Cowboys.

I'm not super familiar with Wichita, but if you can't find a good watering hole in a Midwestern city, you didn't look very hard.
