Everything you need to know about Molcajete's rebrand to El Sabor Perfecto 2

In early August, Molcajete’s, a Mexican restaurant on Massachusetts Street, temporarily closed before reopening in October with a new name: El Sabor Perfecto 2. According to night manager Ashley Ventura, the business changed its name to avoid customer confusion with El Molcajete, another Mexican restaurant in Ottawa. The owners closed the restaurant because they needed to acquire new liquor licenses and update tax forms that reflected their new name.

The Kansas Buffet That Was Just Named One Of The Top All You Can Eat Spots In The State

Fourteen cooking stations. More than 60 Italian dishes. A cobblestone piazza built right inside a restaurant, with fountains and flower-covered balconies overhead. That combination sounds like a fever dream after too much pasta. Yet it’s real, and it sits in the Kansas City suburbs. Kansas diners recently helped push...

7 Russian Mennonite Foods from Kansas, Nebraska, and Manitoba

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. When the first waves of Mennonite families left the Molotschna and Chortitza colonies in what is now Ukraine, they brought their foodways with them on the ships and trains that carried them to Kansas, Nebraska, and Manitoba through the 1870s. The settlements around Hillsboro and Goessel, Kansas, and the farm communities near Henderson, Nebraska, took shape fast: wheat fields, plain meetinghouses, and home kitchens turning out the same dishes their grandmothers had made on the steppe.

Braum’s: The Regional Dairy Empire That Refuses to Go National

Drive through Oklahoma, western Arkansas, north Texas, Kansas, or parts of Missouri, and you’ll likely see a familiar sign: Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy Store. At first glance, Braum’s can look like another regional fast-food restaurant. There are hamburgers, fries, breakfast biscuits, and chicken sandwiches. Walk a few steps farther, though, and there is an old-fashioned ice cream counter. Then, tucked into the same building, is something even more unusual—a small grocery market selling milk, butter, cheese, eggs, bread, meat, produce, and cartons of Braum’s ice cream.

SNAP shoppers in Nebraska could lose soda and energy drinks Dec. 1 if USDA approves, and USDA’s table shows Wyoming, Kansas, Missouri, Hawaii and Ohio following in 2027

Nebraska SNAP shoppers could lose the ability to buy soda, soft drinks and energy drinks with their benefits on Dec. 1, but only if USDA approves the state’s new request.
