When You Feel Like Having Sushi for Lunch

Pictures from our lunch at Sushiya a couple of weeks ago.
I still haven’t taken Brian here but hopefully soon. Until then, GNG.

Crutch & Biscuit Co.
Posted on July 26, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Brian and I tried a new spot a couple of weeks ago. It’s a breakfast and BBQ place. We went for Sunday brunch which is basically a collab between Crutch BBQ and Dempsey’s Biscuit Co.
I think we will have to go back some time and actually try their BBQ fare.
I got a kick out of the kids’ menu items.
You can get an “I Don’t Know,” “I Don’t Care,” or “I’m Not Hungry” — but only if you are a child. If you order it as an adult, they do add an up-charge which is fair.
Brian got a breakfast burrito. I think he liked it.
I had what they call a “Batch 7 Biscuit Pot Pie” which was basically a deconstructed chicken pot pie made with a Dempsey’s biscuit. It was pretty good.
Here’s a bonus pic of Brian drinking his coffee.
Anyway, we will likely be back for some BBQ. Until next time, GNG.

Papa’s General Store
Posted on July 22, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Brian and I finally made it out to Papa’s General Store. We’ve been to this same shop several times when it has been through its various iterations. Currently, it is Papa’s General Store.
Papa’s General Store is known for its outlandish monster shakes.
It’s not uncommon to see shocked looks like these.
Brian gets ready to dig into our Death by Chocolate shake.
Besides awesome shakes, Papa’s also sells a lot of novelty items like buttons, magnets, stickers, socks, etc.
Parking is a little tricky at Clifton Square but I hope y’all find time to visit Papa’s General Store at some point. You must try one of these monster shakes at least once. For us, we just happened to be at the Belmont (one of our favorite places for happy hour and early supper) so we decided to walk over for dessert.
Papa’s is probably not somewhere we would go on a regular basis; otherwise, we will both end up over 300 lbs. But is definitely a place worth checking out. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Until next time, GNG.

Getting Ziggy With It
Posted on July 21, 2023 by Ching under Food and Drink.
Ziggy’s Pizza is expanding all over Wichita. I recently had the opportunity to visit one of their newest locations in West Wichita — 135th Street, so as West as you can possibly get without going to Colorado.
We went there for dinner with Brian’s work family. Here are some food pics.
It was great to see the Phelpi (Cory, April, and Gavin) — they are dear friends who we haven’t really seen in too long. Well, Brian and Cory see each other everyday because they work together but we haven’t really gotten together socially in a probably over a year.
Brian and I don’t normally go to the far depths of West Wichita because there are plenty of dining options on our side of town, but it was worth it this time for the good food and good company. Until next time, GNG.

Big Bang at the Pickle Club
Posted on July 20, 2023 by Ching under Pickleball.
Who doesn’t love a good team tournament? We celebrated the 4th of July weekend with a BANG at the Pickle Club on July 2. Six teams participated in a team event. Here are some highlights.
Thanks to all the teams that competed. It was so much fun watching the amazing play that day!
- Smart Aces (first place) – Natalie Lubbers, Mitch Spencer, Greta Siemens, Mark Nola
- Karen & the Youngsters (second place) – Matthew Rochat, Huyen Nguyen, Karen Fox, Ian Carr
- Just Here to Bang (third place) – Kimberly Howe, Susie Ternes, Branden Stephenson, George Osborne
- All in the Family – Tanner and Britney Blaske, Stacy and Daniel Lyon
- Mid Court Crisis – Fernando Martinez, Amanda Ades, Krista Crawford, Sean McKinney
- Explosive Dinks – Colby Fugit, Tommy Chau, Micah Jacques, Mandy Maness
I cannot wait until we can actually host a real Minor League Pickleball event here in town. Until then, we will have to settle for these knockoff tournaments which, while they are fun, do not compare to the real deal.
