Places to Eat in Wichita, Kansas ↠ Wichita Brewing Company.

When Wichita Brewing Company first opened in Wichita, Kansas, Dave was asked to play at their opening night. We've been regular customers when we're in town ever since, and I'm SO excited they're opening an East location soon! They have great pizza and amazing hand crafted beer, it's worth forgetting the health food for a night. ;)

My favorite beers from Wichita Brewing Company are: Half-Wit Wheat and V.6 IPA...I'm dying to try their Yumkin Pumpkin, but we never seem to make it to town before they're all out. Some day I'll get them to save me a growler...or I'll just have to get to town sooner for the holidays...

We always have to get their spinach artichoke dip, because it's soooooo delicious. All of their pizzas are good, but my favorite so far is the 1337Z (pictured below) with shrimp and a handmade lemon cream cheese sauce...mmmm. And if you have enough room, or just want dessert, you HAVE to try the peanut butter s'more pizza. And now I'm sad we didn't get one last time...but we were stuffed after two appetizers, pizza, and a few beers.

The place looks empty in my pictures, there were a few people that night, but we went during the week during an off time. Every other time we've gone, Wichita Brewing Company is always packed! Don't go starving on a weekend, get there a bit early if you can.

Places to Eat in Knoxville, Tennessee ↠ Apple Tea Cake Room.

While we were in Knoxville, TN visiting Dave's family over Christmas, there was one place I wanted to try that I'd come across online. Apple Cake Tea Room sounded like my kinda place when I read the reviews and saw a few pictures...and I wasn't disappointed. We took Dave's little sister with us for an afternoon of shopping and ended up here. It's this adorable restaurant inside a log cabin looking building, decorated like an adorable antique shop with quilts on the walls and dim lighting.

The tea was delicioussss...and that's an understatement. Dave and I had the Friendship Tea, we probably should have shared one, but we didn't know it came out in a kettle for each person! I wish I could have taken some of the tea home and brew some on a daily basis. It was this wonderful apple tea with cinnamon and a bit of sweetness. Perfection.

We split the Apple Cake between the three of us, it was so much better than I was expecting. I guess because I was imagining more of an apple pie type dessert, which isn't my thing, but it was soooo good. Dave's not even a big dessert person and he went on and on about how good it was...

I can't comment on the lunch menu, since we just went for tea and dessert, but if you're looking for a fun spot to have an afternoon out with some girlfriends or even a tea party for older little girls, this is the place. I wish we had one here!

If you live in Knoxville (or travel there)...have you been? I had no idea East Tennessee had such little treasures as this place. Where should I go next time we're in town visiting family? Let me know in the comments!
