Gaz is nearby. You might get to meet the legend.

The folks who owned Angelo's (which I loved as well!) are related to the folks at DeFazios. I believe they're cousins and the recipes used by both were similar. So if you liked Angelo's, you'll like DeFazios.

Breakfast burritos @ Tacos Lopez.

Well, I've never claimed to make any money with my comic act, so cut me some slack.

Change your name to Mr Shrivelnuts if you are coming here. It's cold my man.

Taco Js is the shit. I had to have a crew work 28 straight 12 hour days a few years ago to finish a project. Every Saturday I would call Taco Js and order 100 tacos. I think that is the only thing that kept my car from being keyed in the parking lot.

:thumb:That is good to know, and I actually suspected that, since it is how a lot of business ownerships work around Wichita. Kind of like Stevens in the car lot business, Farha in the who knows how many businesses, then there was the construction guy and I forget his name, etc.

I hear Tom Devlin, a previous work associate, is buying up and doing a lot of stuff down there now.

FYP

That is funny, and they all lived through it? They have one of the funniest drive thrus ever. We used to eat there a lot, hanging out at Massey's racing Transmissions across the street. RIP Rucker Massey.

Taco Grande actually had one of their originals copied by Taco Tico, they called it the "funny taco" as it had both types of shells, corn and flour, with cheese in between them. I loved them!

They all lived and I gave them all a four day weekend when the project was completed. They were all hourly employees so they made damn good money for those 4 weeks.

Tahco Tiiiiicooo.

Taco Grandes taco burgers were the best! And their sauces rocked.

Yeah, I screwed that up and meant to say Taco Bell. :banghead:


I never really cared for Taco Burgers, so I wouldn't be able judge theirs. Are they still in business? I think they may have had two locations left last time I checked.

Best thing about Wichita? Leaving.

I don't know what's cool in Wichita, but oer here in Pittsburg it's all cool. Like your coinpurse rattling marbles together cool.

Wow, that is a new one! :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

I hear that they are really big on the shocker in Wichita. You should pull up to a drive thru and order 2 in the pink and 1 in the stink then post their reaction.

They are

Is that really something they do at games?

2255 S Seneca St
Wichita, KS 67213
and

2315 W 21st St N Ste 109
Wichita, Kansas 67203

Looks like they're down to one or two...

It was done once, so they must all do it all the time!

Kind of like the time I saw a toothless hillbilly in Springfield, MO, they must all be that way there right?


Yep, that is the same two that I remember. They used to have about 6 if I remember right.

Yes... It is the home town symbol for the Shockers.. (Best basketball team in Kansas) We did get in trouble from ESPN for doing it at our televised games. However, it has been a tradition for a while. Except you are suppose to spread the first 2 fingers and make a W. :evil:

Check outta show from Shyner in Cowtown area.

i was in a week of training a few years back. we were right near the old town area. there was an antique shop that served an all you could eat bbq spread. i think we ate there 4 of the 5 days.

if i lived there, i'm sure i'd be fat(ter)......

About ten years ago I went to the Hooters there . The place should have been called Raisins.

I thought Taco Tico went out of business. Really doesn't matter anyway, Taco Shop has pretty much the same flavor. Haven't had Taco J's in over a decade but I'm sure it is still the same awesome greasiness. As far as Italian goes. Never was a fan of Angelos or Defazios. The blandness of their sauces, especially their red sauces always kept me away. I'm a firm believer if you want decent Italian in Wichita, Carrabba's is the place to go. If you want a bit better, go to Bella Vita Bistro. Pizza, outside of the normal delivery type you have Il Vicino and that's pretty much it.

I heard it's really awesome to land a jet at the wrong airport there.

Yessir. Used to couldn't find teeth in any ol' mouths, now we got Califurrners and Saint Louie-sands all up down here anymore.

Im cool

Appreciate the input. All but 1 or 2 meals will be catered. Sounds like I ought to bring my laptop and PS3. I'll be working until about 9-10 at night too, so it'll be interesting I guess. At least there's a casino close by. ROFL

On Wednesday nights, the casino has $5 buffet.

You're welcome. :thumb:

One more question for those of you there now. How much snow and ice is currently on the ground? I see you're forecasted for a bit, but not too much over the weekend.

Yeah, I promised the wife I wouldn't score. But I'll definitely have my boys give me the box score each morning.

About 5" on the ground. Main roads are pretty clean, but most of the side roads are snow packed.

Leave

ROFL ROFL

I think my question is pretty clear (although implied) as to whether or not it is a tradition.

FTR, multiple toothless hillbillies reside in Springfield.

Yeah, it is a tradition to try and symbolize a W.


So I have more to look forward to, cool.

Nu-Way

They have a picture of Harrison Ford up on the wall in there. Harrison is a pilot and owns a bunch of small aircraft that he purchases in Wichita "The Air Capital". When he comes to Wichita he usually makes a stop at Connie's.

"Bite Me BBQ" on St. Francis St. north of Intrust Bank Arena. Close to Oklahoma Joe's in taste.

Their ribs are great.

I think they're overpriced though.

TT headquarters went out of business. all the TT in Kansas were shut down for a while. There's still one in Topeka. I think all the other locations in Kansas closed.

Love their t-shirts. front - "If you think can find better BBQ . . ." back - "Bite Me"

Horrible news. I have to stay home this week. Lol heartbroken for sure.

Well in that case they can roll up the red carpet....

its so obvious this pic isn't from Wichita. all the people pictured have shoes

cock tease

Thread & 2 days of our lives wasted. Please delete.

This makes me sad. I was planning on treating you to the $5 buffet at the casino on Wednesday night. I guess I'll have to spend that money on meth and fried twinkies. You know since I am a fat, methed out hick from Wichita.

Oh, better yet. Maybe I can put that money into a shoe fund since it seems that we have trouble wearing shoes around here.

The hillside nature of the pic was also a dead giveaway. :thumb:

Well, I would've been happy to meet up. Especially with a fellow fat, methed out hick. I wasn't disparaging Wichita. I'm just happy to be able to skip the bidness trip and stay home. Tulsa was a ****ing nightmare.

My snarkiness wasn't aimed at you. I'm glad you didn't have to come on your trip at this time. It's pretty much an ice ball right now.

:thumb: Cool man, because I totally would've beaten the shit out of that buffet.

"You been hea 4 houas! Dis all you can eat not you eat all!!!"

Mr. Flopnuts,
Totally off topic but since you are a mod, I was wondering if you could help or let me know what I need to do. I joined chiefsplanet back in 02 but due to job changing and moving(took about a 2 year leave from the planet) I had forgotten my password and no longer had the email account listed with my original account, afchiefs(with the s) so I opened up a new account but now, no avatars, no thread start, etc., just a noob. Anyway to merge these accounts, if not, no biggie, thanks

YOU GO NOW!!!

sorry Lonewolf. I'm just joking around. I didn't mean to shit on you, Wichita is good peoples. When I was a kid, going to Wichita was a real treat. Wichita was the place to go to play in video arcades, to find comic book shops, to shop for clothes... everything was in Wichita.

I still visit on occasion but its saddening. there are a few cool things on the far east side and far west (new multiplex cinemas, new bowling alleys, sports activity complexes) but the middle has been gutted. Wichita is like a cicada husk that's been bedazzled with 2 rhinestones at either end.

I was mostly joking, so no apology necessary. I actually agree with your take on the city. I grew up in a small town about 20 minutes west of Wichita and going into Wichita was a treat as a kid also.

People are ****ing assholes

Wichita is an unfortunate shithole of a town.

That is so sad. Every city has some deplorable people and if I voice my actual opinion, this thread could end up in D.C.

If it weren't for a handful of people... I would actively root for Wichita to blown off the map in a thermonuclear blast. A place so bland that the most interesting geographical/topographical feature is a ****ing drainage ditch. A city so ****ing dumb they bought a AAA team and got a AA team instead then called them the "Wind Surge". A place so flat that when your dog runs away... you will get to watch him run the whole way until the curvature of the earth swallows him up. A city with a river that is so polluted that events are no longer held on the water during the ****ing RIVER FESTIVAL.

FUUUUUUUUUCK Wichita.

I had a handful of friends relocate to Wichita after they graduated from KU. When I'd visit our nights would usually consist of going to the casino to play poker, jezebell's strip club, or getting drunk at the pump house.

Wichita is pretty boring.

The beer is cold and the pussy is wet.

Show us on the doll how Wichita put its fingers inside of you.

My guess he is a fan of team the Shockers have made habit of piss pounding.

Wichita my hometown so insulting it make me angry.

Among a great number of issues I have with Wichita... my wife died there in a vehicle collision. This after promising her that we would live everywhere across the US (which we did) and that we would never die there (because I expected we would be elsewhere when it happened).

That aside... I lived there for WAY the **** too long and am very acquainted with the politics of the village. Wichita wants to be OKC/Tulsa but is essentially a larger Emporia. 83 shitty places to eat, and two decent ones, within a 10 minute drive.

You like concerts? Better love country because pretty much nothing else goes to that steep AF bullshit Intrust Arena. Wanna go to dive bars and listen to local bands instead? Wichita is such a cultural hub and a center for the arts that the city feels inclined to claim Martina McBride as their own despite her being from an hour and a half away from Wichita. The biggest group to come out of Wichita itself is unknown because no band from Wichita has had even the remotest of commercial success.

You like sports? There are plenty of semi-pro teams out there that the city will refuse to support (how the Thunder have managed to make Wichita their home is beyond me though their early championships when Dejardains in net probably did a lot to cement the team to the city.

You enjoy history? Go take a tour of the two single shittiest museums I have ever been to in Cowtown and the NA museum.

Do you enjoy beer? Awesome... because there are 83 small breweries in town that all serve ok beer.

There is **** all going on in Wichita other than meth, movies, and restaurants.

At what? The Shockers suck more AIDS riddled micro dick than Billay. An All-Star team assembled form the local high schools would give the current Shocker MBB team more than it could handle.

Wichita is an infected cyst on the asshole of America (the asshole of America being the entire state of Kansas).

Wichita can feast on that tasty spot between my asshole and my scrotum. Hulk out buddy because I have nothing but seething hatred for that sea of beige.

I know that historically Wichita has had one of the highest violent crime rates per capita of any USA city. Nothing to do there so people beat the crap out of each other.

Gotta call bullshit on this lol and you live in independence?

LMAO @ people getting upset in defense of America's largest trailer park. People thumbs down my post but can't refute it because it is all true.

Don't get mad at me that this thing:

https://img.atlasobscura.com/YXQzjiW...hf/ei5qcGc.jpg

https://img.atlasobscura.com/rGguSps...MzUyLmpwZw.jpg

is one of the larger attractions the township of Wichita has to offer.

It's not in the top 20 any longer, but it's historically not good either.
St. Louis is currently the city with the highest per capita violent crime.

Stayed in Wichita nine or ten years ago when I played in a golf tournament. The tournament was at Sand Creek Station. I enjoyed the course and thought it was pretty good. It just so happened that there was some gay pride shit going on that weekend. Pulled into the hotel parking lot and the wife was like "look at all those towels." I didn't know until she informed me they were all rainbow gay pride towels. She was going to hang by the pool while I golfed, but the pool was full of the gays so she passed on that. We did go down town and ate at some local brewery type place. Must have been a car show because all these cool cars kept cruising by. The gay thing left a weird view of the place on my psyche.

Played a tournament in Windfield that year as well. Those places are not the same.

Aren’t you from Methdependence? Glass house, man. Glass house.

We’re all sorry that gay people existing messed with your psyche.
