COMMUNITY
Elote Man Lunch Benefit

A true Wichita gem, Don Alberto Quezada, a.k.a The Elote Man, has been experiencing some health issues.

The gentleman popularly known for selling his elote on 21st Street was recently taken to the hospital while selling elote. Since then, he has taken some time off due to recovery from medical issues he's had to deal with.

On October 25 starting at Noon, we invite the community to come out and enjoy elote from The Elote Man and his friends and family.

Other vendors will be on hand as well. All elote sold will be donation based with 100% of donations going towards helping the Quezada secure an electric bicycle to make his travels easier and covering medical costs.

Jacob Clark and Wichita By E.B. will be assisting Quezada in riding his elote cart down to Empower at 103 E. 21st St.

Huge thanks to Empower who has played a huge role in helping make this event possible.

Meddys to donate sales to Stryker Sports Complex families

Want to help the families involved in the Stryker Sports Complex Tragedy?

Between now and Saturday, October 24, all Meddys locations in Wichita and Salina will donate 20% of all revenue to families affected by the Stryker Sports Complex tragedy.

NOW OPEN
Dave’s Hot Chicken

The wait is finally over, Dave’s Hot Chicken is now open in Wichita after taking over the former Blaze Pizza space at 2692 N. Greenwich Road in the Greenwich Place shopping center.

If you’ve never been to Dave’s Hot Chicken, it’s obviously all things chicken where the menu is made up of Nashville-style hot chicken tenders and sliders along with sides and shakes.

COMING SOON
A replacement for Heroes Sports Bar & Grill

Following an auction for the former Heroes Sports Bar & Grill space in August, news is now out one what will come of the downtown space at 117 N. Mosley.

The Bullpen will be moving in and taking over.

Some people may be familiar with it as there is currently a location in Baldwin City. Their arrival to Wichita will be an expansion.

OPENING
The Cheesecake Factory

Probably the most requested restaurant in Wichita since I started blogging was The Cheesecake Factory.

And now after years of waiting, the restaurant is finally open at Bradley Fair. Let’s take a look inside.
