Drinks at the PourHouse
Posted on July 7, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink.
The #1 reason why we love the PourHouse – they have great beer that pairs well with their delicious munchies.
Also, they have a fabulous pet-friendly patio. I am making a mental note to bring Saki next time. Until then, GNG.

Our Dinner at Carrabba’s
Posted on July 7, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Lots of food pics incoming…
What can I say? We like cheese.
And we love the Sogno di Chocolat dessert.
Other desserts that night…
We don’t eat at Carrabba’s as frequently as we used to but it still a good spot for a nice dinner. I specially like their sangrias. More information about Carrabba’s here.

New Drinks at the Belmont
Posted on July 5, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink.
We went to the Belmont when Dave and Donna were in town last month. Brian and I hadn’t been there in a while and I had almost forgotten how much I love their food and drinks. Here are some pictures of the food we had…
While there, I noticed some new drinks on their cocktail menu. I naturally had to try them. It took several visits to try all the new drinks but I managed to get it done before the month was up.
I had to order two drinks per visit to get it done, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
On this visit, I had the San Junipero (green drink) and the Moonlight (purple drink). It made sense to order these two together because they were both gin based. I am always very careful about mixing my spirits.
Both drinks were refreshing and delicious in their own way. They were the perfect warm weather drinks.
Brian never deviates from his usual – Rackhouse. It is a bourbon based drink and his absolute favorite there.
On a separate visit, I had the Velvet Hammer and Brian got Rackhouse (obviously).
I also got a Nectar of the Plains.
Here is a picture of the Julius City Sour from a separate visit.
And finally – Dance, Magic Dance.
Here’s a picture of the Calumet from one of our first visits to the Belmont. I didn’t order it this tour because I’ve drank it so many times. It was and has always been my favorite drink to get there. Apparently, it’s also a favorite for many because it’s the one drink that they’ve never take off their cocktail menu.
Here are a few more pictures of food from our visits to the Belmont last month.
Don’t get too excited. Brian didn’t order anything new. This is still the ham and cheese but they ran out of the pretzel roll that day so they served it to him in a sourdough toast.
Some food pics from when I went with Lesa Lozano and Chris Townley, the week that Lesa was in Wichita.
This is how the ham and cheese is usually served.
Anyway, I just love the food and drinks at the Belmont. It’s one of our “go to” places for happy hour and whenever we don’t feel like making anything.
Until next time, GNG.

Our Dinner at Piatto
Posted on July 5, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink.
I don’t know why he always looks so serious when perusing the menu. We always get the same thing. Lately we have, anyways.
Yummy cheesy garlic bread pizza.
Trio de carne – our favorite there.
The pizzas are big enough for two people to share so, anytime we get two, we always end up with leftovers.
Afterwards, we walked over to Hopping Gnome for some brews. The weather was perfect that day so we got to play a little bit of cornhole, which I won naturally. It was a close game, though. Until next time, GNG.

New Hopping Gnome Taproom
Posted on July 4, 2023 by Ching under Life.
Brian and I finally got to check out the new Hopping Gnome taproom.
It’s not too far from the original off Douglas. In fact, we had dinner at Piatto right before and then walked out the back door and over to the new Hopping Gnome. The new place is great. It is much bigger both inside and outside.
I guess they didn’t really have an outdoor space before. Now they even have room cornhole and for the plant bus. I’m not sure how often it’s there but it was parked outside the day we went.
Until next time, GNG.
