River City Brewery
Posted on July 29, 2012 by Brian under Food and Drink, Reviews.
Last week I was part of a company focus group to help us redesign and rebuild a system that we use. We brought in a few sales reps, a couple regional managers and a director to assist in getting what everyone needs while at the same time fulfilling the companies requirements for useful information.
After the first day we had a scheduled dinner at The River City Brewery. It’s been some time since I had been there, Ching and I used to go there every week when we played poker a lot. However, since we started not eating out so much we have not been in a while.
The food was just as good as I remember it. Our Vice President ordered several appetizers to start with. We had some Sweet BBQ wings that were pretty good. They had just enough heat to them that kind of snuck up on you. We also had some pork quesadillas that were pretty good and a nice spinach and artichoke dip.
When it came time for dinner I ordered one of their pizzas, the Tomato Basil.
It’s really good. I didn’t realize that it came with tomatoes on it. I was just expecting tomato sauce and some nice cheese with some basil sprinkled on it, but I was pleasantly surprised to have gotten whole sliced tomatoes. It was also very, very good.
I also had never had any of their beers so I ordered their Brick Red.
It’s not as good as the Samuel Adams Brick Red that I had in Boston (and can only get in Boston) but it was still a very good beer that I will order again the next time I go.
If you are new to Wichita or are just visiting, I would highly recommend that you pay The River City Brewery a visit.
You will not be disappointed.

Back at MIF Deli
Posted on July 23, 2012 by Ching under Food and Drink, Reviews.
Brian and I had the most delicious lunch at MIF Deli after our workout on Saturday. Their food is so delicious. If you haven’t been you’re missing out.
I had the curry chicken salad, which is even more delicious than I imagined it would be. It’s so good that I tried to eat all of it, even after eating two stuffed grape leaves, half a kibbe ball, and a ton of their delicious humos and pita.
Brian had a meat pie, which is one of the things that MIF Deli is best known for. He had it the last time we were there and really liked it. It’s hard for me to believe that the restaurant has been around for three decades and I’d never been there until this year. And to think I used to work just down the street from their location.
The last time we were at MIF Deli, I was so delirious from the delicious food that I accidentally left my braces at the table. It was wrapped in a napkin so they thought it was trash and threw it away. Thankfully, it was still on top of the trash so when Brian and I came back for it they were able to find it and return it to me. That was really lucky. I’m glad that we remembered my braces before we got all the way home. There’s no telling if it would have been found had more time elapsed.
On this last visit, I didn’t allow the food high to make me forget my braces. LOL. I learned my lesson the last time.

Loco for Los Cocos
Posted on July 22, 2012 by Ching under Food and Drink, Reviews.
Brian and I stopped by Los Cocos the other day when we had to drop off some paperwork at mom’s house. I have to say, Los Cocos is one of my favorite places to eat in Derby. They serve typical Mexican restaurant food, but what sets them apart from other restaurants is their unbeatable daily drink specials.
Margaritas are $1.99 everyday. You heard me. EVERYDAY. Who needs happy hour, when you can get margaritas for less than a couple of bucks, any hour of the day, every single day? It’s not just one or two flavors either. I think they have at least half a dozen varieties and they’re all $1.99. But that’s not the best part. Jumbo margaritas are only $7 on Fridays and Sundays. Heck yeah!
I have a feeling mom and dad will be seeing a lot more of me now that there is a Los Cocos near their house. LOL.
P.S. The first encounter I had with Los Cocos was at Carmen and Nick’s wedding a few years ago. We liked the food so we used them for my 33rd birthday party. Probably no party this year because finances are tight. It would be nice to have one, though. I have a couple of caterers already in mind if we do.

I’ll Never Lose These Last 10 Lbs
Posted on July 19, 2012 by Ching under Confessions, Health, Reviews.
This is why I’ll never be able to lose the last ten pounds that I need to lose. We can’t stop eating out!
On the plus side, we are the #2 food blog in Wichita (just behind Chain Free Eating) and #3 in all of Kansas (just behind Roadtrips and In Pursuit of Pork). Woot!
If I’m going to be fat, at least I’m fat for a reason. Ha ha ha ha!

Fox and Hound
Posted on July 15, 2012 by Ching under Reviews.
We were at Fox and Hound yesterday for Golden Boy’s birthday. It’s not our favorite place because of the track record of terrible service that we’ve received there in the past, but we actually had good service yesterday. For the first time ever. LOL.
Happy birthday, Ronnie! Thanks for letting us celebrate with you!
