GUIDES
Veterans Day Food Deals

Vote for the ICT 100

Veterans Day is just around the corner. It’s a day for some wonderful food deals for veterans and active military; a day to honor those who fight for our country. If you’re not a veteran, but would still like to show some love, I’ve also included a list of veteran-owned restaurants and food trucks in the Wichita area.

COMING SOON
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill

The grand opening is almost here for west Wichita’s Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. The restaurants second location is set to open at 2824 N. Maize Road on Tuesday, November 10.

Your Backyard Renovation List Is Missing Something

Every backyard renovation has a list. New deck. Better lighting. Maybe that outdoor kitchen you've been pinning for years.

Here's what usually gets left off: shelter. Without it, your brand-new patio is only as good as the weather forecast. A Hansø pergola fixes that. 

Built from T6 aerospace-grade aluminum and engineered for up to 167 mph winds and up to 65 PSF snow load, it keeps your patio covered, comfortable, and in use from spring through winter. Motorized louvers let you decide how much sky you want, anytime.

Early Bird Offers EXTENDED: save up to 40% on pergolas, plus a $1,000 installation voucher, a Free Hansø ProCheck Care™ 10-Year Plan worth $950, FREE heater and more.

The list is long. Make sure the most important thing is on it.

FOOD
Jamaican Food Returns to Wichita

Something Wichita doesn’t have enough of is Jamaican food, but thanks to a relatively new food truck called Wendy’s Kitchen Jamaican Cuisine, you can now get this a few times a week. But be sure to show up early before all the good stuff sells out!

Right now the food truck is only out Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and can be found near 53rd and Meridian.

NOW OPEN
Toure by Fredo

The city’s newest restaurant has taken over the former Lima Nation and Lola’s Bistro space. Toure by Fredo is open for business at 2146 N. Collective Lane.
