The article ask for restaurant, and own choices, not from people questioning other people choices. this blog seems to have a abundance of smart a.... people.

Oh c'mon. The lady is a bit older. You're really shocked she would choose Perkins?

Tacos el Sol on East 6th Street in Topeka. Real food, not TexMex. Try the tongue tacos or barbacoa.

Fixed_Asset 5 years, 1 month ago

Mmmmmm. I dine there frequently. Have I seen you there?

sbward1 5 years, 1 month ago

I've heard good things about this place from many people... will have to make a quick lunch trip.

Smarmy_Schoolmarm 5 years, 1 month ago

Another vote for Tacos el Sol. Nothing fancy, just nicely flavored food, clean, and crazy cheap prices. You order at the counter and they deliver to your table in disposable dishes so it's not fine dining but the dining is fine.

Paradise Cafe.

Thank goodness, Missy McCoy, who we have to thank for Douglas County Pie and other delectable goodies, is working on a cookbook which will include many of our favorite recipes from the Paradise Cafe. Now, if someone would just do that for TinPanAlley and Cornucopia...

KansasPerson 5 years, 1 month ago

WHAAAAT?!?! I need to be on the list for that book!

(Please God tell Missy not to forget the Potato Pancake recipe)

(and those pork chops!)

Glen Sohl, the owner of both those restaurants, has already done that with a link on his real estate website.

Golden Corral or another non-Chinese buffet. Best in Lawrence now has to be Fridays at the Flamingo. I could live with El Matador, too.

The problem with this is that it assumes one would eat only at Lawrence restaurants. Sorry to say but there aren't many good restaurants in Lawrence.

Furrs. All the mash potato's and steamed brocoli and carrots you could ask for. Baked Chicken. 2nd and 3rds always. Man, those were the days when Lawrence had Furrs on 23rd and Iowa. A pretty good deal for under 10 bucks.

Jesus Christ do I hate everyone of you mfr;s. How does a simple question of eating, get turned into John Brown being a real person, or whatever? Lawrence sucks for restaurant choices, f downtown, with all the students, please Freestate, come on food ok once in awhile, but arrogant service yes they do have, except whiskey girl. This town needs to get the hell over themselves, and grow.

Always fun to watch the haters hate . . .

I think that the El Matador would be my choice.

If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy-Pez. Cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.

Locally? The Global Cafe General vicinity? Jazz.. good food booze and music! Why can't we have something like this in town? Anywhere in the world? If the tab were paid, I'd go hoity-toity seafood, or a little cantina in San Felipe that had the best carne asada and shrimp right off the boat.
