  • First lady of WSU basketball also a foodie

    Here are Lynn Marshall’s favorite restaurants; pre and post-game options...

    Wichita, she’s determined, is a pretty good place to eat out.

    “I love the food here,” Lynn said during a recent lunch at one of her favorites, Saigon at 1103 N. Broadway. “I think there’s great variety, and I think there are a lot of really talented chefs. I think we hold our own. Maybe you’re not looking at a mountain or an ocean while you’re eating it, but I think our city is well represented.”

    “I really do, Gregg,” Lynn added, addressing her husband who was dipping his egg roll in a complicated soy sauce/ Sriracha mixture he had just assembled.

    “You don’t have to convince me,” he replied.

    Awesome story. Some of those places I have visited. They are good. The newspaper did a story about a year ago on favorite restaurants in Wichita that had closed. High on my list was Lazy R that used to be on Central. The best chilli chesse hamburger I have ever had. Can't seem to find another place that makes a good one. If u guys got any recommendations let me know.

      I miss Lazy R, too -- I like my burgers undercooked (at least by food police standards), and Lazy R would do them just the way i wanted. They even undercooked them more than I wanted a time or two, and that's almost impossible. Wish they were still around.

      Also loved the monster burgers at Jack's way down south (Hydraulic?), and the big fresh cooked onion rings at the Dead Cow on Harry and briefly on West 21st. Plus, how can you not like a place that calls itself the Dead Cow?

    Another oldie but goodie was the Hickory House at 1625 E. Central (just west of Hydraulic). I spent my grade school and high school years growing up about 2 blocks south of their. However, with 10 kids in the family we very rarely, if ever, ate out. The bad location eventually did it in. Too many of us poor folks eating at home.

        Wasn't it Griff's that had a special of 10 burgers for a $1.00 one day each week or something like that. Talk about where's the beef.

      When I was in town over Christmas, I got a burger at Broadway Burger and BBQ. Total dump of a place in a sketchy part of town but the guy makes some good burgers. Anyone been there?

      Griffs was better than Mcdonalds. 10 for a buck on Wednesdays was our family's weekly thing. I miss Calvin's Hamburger Heaven that was at Harry and Seneca. Skaets was cattycorner and a pretty good sitdown restaurant. Southside Holla!
      One quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more.

            Seriously? I was told that Calvin's was gone. With my son on the east side of town I hardly ever get back to the old neighborhood. I will have to get over there soon.

            Next thing you know, you'll be telling me that Mugs-up is still peddling root beer.

          Sandy’s - loved their burgers

          Next Door - hickory sauce burgers were the best

          Kips Big Boy - best strawberry pie in town

          Applegate’s Landing - best french onion soup on the planet

          Godfathers Pizza (13th & Oliver) - when pizza was good

          The Grinder Man (near 17th & Fairmount St.) - great sandwiches

          Anyone recall a Chinese take-out a block or two east of Hillside and Harry? I believe it was in a former Griff’s A-frame building; some of the best Chinese food I’ve had.

          Angelo’s Italian Restaurant - thought I read where they reopened

          Yeah, my wife and I ate at Angelo's often when we lived there; up on north West street, IIRC. There was also a wierd, psychedelic sandwich shop on... Oliver? Dr. something... sandwich shop?

            Discussing Spangles makes me want to have a ‘mud slide’ and I’m not talking about ice cream...

            Don't hold me to it, but I think it was a Dog-N-Shake...

          Anyone remember Estalitas that was at Central and Zoo Blvd. She had the biggest and best burritos I've ever had.
          I won't tolerate rude behavior

          I always get Nuway when I am in town

            I don't think it was a bad batch of meat. More likely bad prep and bad serving. I have to admit I have never been a big Nuway fan anyway. If want a sloppy joe my wife's homemade versions are far better fare. If I want a hamburger I will get a hamburger. Atlhough at my advancing age I might have to reconsider the ground up version at some point.

            Not a fan of NuWay fries but their burgs are tasty.

            I never was a big fan of Nuway Chili either; sometimes gave me the #greenapplequicksteps.

          Dog N Shake still has good chilli burgers and chilli dogs. There was a Dog N Shake at 21st and Hillside and Central and Woodlawn. It seems like they went on an expansion run in the early to mid 80s and I assume it didn't work.

          When I am in Wichita I still visit the Dog N Shake on Central and Hillside and the one Tyler

            My grandsons like Dog N Shake. Just not one very close by.
