Brunch at the Belmont
Posted on May 6, 2024 by Ching under Food and Drink.
As many times as we’d been to eat at the Belmont over the years, we’d never been to brunch there. Dustin and Katie’s one o’clock wedding was the perfect excuse to do so because the church was just down the street from the restaurant.
Here are some pictures of our food.
I had the Dutch baby, which was so delicious!
You can’t really beat having ice cream for breakfast.
Brian had biscuits and gravy.
This is the Matcha Mango drink, which is basically like a breakfast margarita. LOL. It has matcha, mango, papaya, lemon, orange, and tequila.
Don’t mind Brian in the pic below. He was a little bit cranky that I asked him to wear a suit to the wedding.
Stay tuned for pics from the reception.

Brian’s First Time at the Kitchen (Or So He Says)
Posted on May 3, 2024 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Brian says he’d never been to the Kitchen so we decided to have lunch there a couple of weeks ago. He actually really liked it. Not enough to dethrone Athens Gyros Express as his favorite but he’s open to returning and trying some other things. So we will probably be going back.

El Capital Seafood & Grill
Posted on April 2, 2024 by Ching under Food and Drink.
I made Brian and Chris try a new Mexican seafood restaurant with me not too long ago. Chris and I actually went there before that, but we went on a Wednesday, and that just happens to be the one day a week that the restaurant is closed. I know. Weird, right? Normally most places choose to be closed on a Monday.
We ended up going to Doc Greens next door that day since we couldn’t go to El Capitan. A couple of weeks later, we returned on a Tuesday and met Brian there. Here are the pictures of our food.
I can’t say enough about the seafood soup I had. It was delicious. The shrimp offered a little bit of sweetness to balance the savory spices. Also, the soup had chayote as one of the ingredients. Chayote is common in Filipino food but rarely do I ever come across it in American cooking. In fact, I don’t even know the English translation for the word.
Anyway, if you ever get a hankering for some Mexican seafood, I highly recommend El Capitan. Brian could take or leave it but I really liked my soup.

Dinner with the Dills at Our Favorite Spot
Posted on April 1, 2024 by Ching under Food and Drink.
It’s been ages since we’ve seen these two, let alone sit down to have dinner with them. They’re always running off to some luxurious resort or another, living the “Travel Junkie” lifestyle. Anyway, we finally caught up with them a couple of weeks ago. Here are some pics of our dinner at the Belmont.
Speaking of the Belmont, Brian and I are actually due for another visit. Our friend Jen Reifschneider who is the executive chef there recently revamped the restaurant’s dinner menu and I’m dying to try it.
In other news, Jay Dill was nominated as Visionary of the Year. Interestingly enough, I know two others who are candidates alongside him — Erica Case and Clayton Dir. I know Wichita is small so you usually know at least one of the candidates but to have three of them competing for the title in the same year is just wild. No matter who you are supporting, all of the money raised goes toward supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society so everyone wins. Best of luck to all the candidates!

Buffalo Brew Coffee Company
Posted on March 22, 2024 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Buffalo Brew Coffee Company is a coffee shop from Valley Center that recently opened its second location at the National in downtown Wichita.
In addition to the yummy drinks, they also offer yummy breakfast burritos and sandwiches. My friend Chris Townley got a sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin while I tried a bagel sandwich with sausage and bacon last week.
I highly recommend checking out Buffalo Brew if you haven’t already. There’s still time this month to try the March specialty drinks. And, if you find something you really, really like, you can even get it in the giant 32 oz. size!
