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.

"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.
