'Burnett's Mound' menu item popular at Topeka restaurant
Burnett's Mound is the highest point in Topeka. And Michelle West thinks the city’s culinary high point is the "Burnett's Mound" pancake wrap, named after that local landmark, at Hanover Pancake House. When asked on the Topeka Foodies Facebook page to identify the one dish in Topeka everyone should try, West picked the Burnett's Mound, a massive pancake wrapped around scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, ham and cheese. "It's essentially an entire homemade breakfast wrapped up (quite literally!) into one delicious dish," West said in a message to The Capital-Journal on Facebook Messenger.

Michelle Rodriguez got her golden ticket and fulfilled her dream of starting a Mexican restaurant. Huston Hospitality owner Scott Huston brought her into the fold and let her work to bring a new dining experience to her hometown. "A golden ticket like Willy Wonka," Rodriguez said. "It was really surreal, just like seeing it and like seeing people eating the food and like seeing my logo on that really big wall. It was really surreal." Earlier in October, Amigos Locos , located at 4745 NW Hunters Ridge Circle , launched. Rodriguez said working with Huston on the project was amazing. "Creating a Mexican bar and grill has always been my dream," Rodriguez said. "I grew up here in Topeka. So, I just knew that there was a love for Midwest Mexican food; if that's a thing."

Prairie Band’s dispute with Kansas Lottery won’t see trial before 2028
A potential trial on the disputed size of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation’s reservation won’t happen before 2028, according to federal court records. U.S. Magistrate Judge Angel Mitchell issued a scheduling order Nov. 3 for the Prairie Band’s lawsuit against Kansas Lottery executive director Stephen Durrell. The lawsuit involves lottery sales on land, including portions of west Topeka, the Nation is laying claim to via a 1846 treaty. More: Kansas, Prairie Band differ greatly on land treaty meaning in lawsuit The pretrial conference is set for Jan. 25, 2028, and Mitchell’s order establishes other deadlines before and after the conference. A notable deadline involves motions to intervene, which are due Jan. 8. The City of Topeka has considered joining the lawsuit , and the expectation is that others may want to join as well. “The parties anticipate that municipality and county governments in the affected area — the 30-by-30-mile square that the Nation claims as its reservation — as well as perhaps others with interests in this dispute may seek to intervene in this action,” the scheduling order said. “Plaintiff intends to oppose any motions to intervene.” More: July 27 trial set in $2.25M Potawatomi suit against feds The Prairie
