'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. "It's perfect for sharing with a friend or two over a nice brunch, and even better, you get to support a local business while enjoying some really great food." Topeka restaurant owner got idea from New Jersey eatery The Burnett's Mound is among the most popular items on the menu at Hanover Pancake House, 1034 S. Kansas Ave., said Scott Albrecht, who owns that restaurant with his wife, Jean Albrecht. The downtown restaurant has been open since 1969 and still has the atmosphere of a classic 1960s diner.

Topeka leaders eye tax breaks for 42 planned luxury homes
Topeka leaders took the first step to give tax incentives for a luxury housing development planned for southwest Topeka. The Topeka City Council approved on Nov. 10 sending a Reinvestment Housing Incentive District application forward to the Kansas Secretary of Commerce. The project referred to as Ardmore Walk Addition No. 1 is to build 42 luxury homes near the corner of SW Lakeside Drive and 45th Street. If the secretary of commerce's office approves the application moving forward, the council will vote on whether to make it a tax benefit district and then the tax breaks the project could get. The vote passed with Councilwoman Michelle Bradberry abstaining and Councilwoman Christina Valdivia-Alcala voting against it. Valdivia-Alcala said she would vote against it every step of the way because of the high price point. "If they're needing support for a price point this high, then maybe they shouldn't be building," Valdivia-Alcala said. What is Ardmore Walk Addition No. 1 The proposed benefit district covers 25.28-acre tract, which would be developed in three phases, according to city documents. The developed properties are expected to start at the cost of $350,000 and go up further depending on the home. The homes will also
