Yesterday, I stopped into one of my favorite restaurants that I never seem to remember to go to — Zaytun, a delicious “IndoPak bistro” at 2020 N. Woodlawn, and as always, I had an interesting chat with owner Syed Quettawaala.

Will be going there asap. In laws don't like ethnic food so I'll have to be sneaky.
-
Trim, reminds me, I will be in wichita some weekend in august for somebody Mrs. Dave is related to's birthday. Will get exact date and we can Pak this place or somewhere else.

Perhaps WichitaPizzaCat can make arrangements for us and Wichita Pak'rs to have the finest table in the house for an AvivoPak. Also, there's a series of sculptures that have been installed throughout downtown and Old Town which should make for good things to :combofan: in front of should the other pak'rs be boring us with whatever they're talking about.

yeah, let's plan on that. I'll get exact date from mrs. dave for Awful Birthday Party of Doom Pak so we can have successful Wichita Pak later that day.

one of my moms sculpters is on display by Oeno'. :gocho:
-
mrs. dave says she thinks it is the 14th but isn't for sure we have to go yet. Will report back this weekend.

Also, for Omaha type Indian food lovers today's Groupon is Tanduri Fusion...the most delicious of Omaha's roughly 5 Indian eateries.

Knollas.

Knollas.
I've still never been there and now I don't know where to go if I wanted to. I think a few of them were franchised or something and there was a dispute and now those have been re-named. So I don't know if the knollas I'd always hear about is something else now or what.

I really liked the one on Central - next to Picadilly Market (I also like that place).

Knollas = :flush: wichitapizzacats Avivo is highly under valued in this town. Their pizza is amazing.

I've been there once, it was solid, had the pizza con olive. Didn't like ordering/paying first. Pizza is different from Knollas, hard to compare.

Dined at WichitaPizzaCat's Avivo last night for wine Wednesday. Was amazing. I had the Johnny Wichita Avivo Deluxe as did JWBro. JWWife had the regular Johnny Wichita Avivo pizza.
Also, SD if you are coming in the 14th I have a great surprise for everyone involved. Great possibilities of a epic pak of mass proportions and atypical setting.

Trim, JWichita, MIR, Others - Whats the opinion on Yia-Yia's? I am apparently going there in a couple weeks.

I've only been there twice and once was lunch. I was superpak'd when I was there for dinner a few years ago. Was there with the family of the company I'd just started with. When the owner's husband heard that I drank keystone, he arranged for one of the waiters to go get us a 30-pak. Within a few minutes, we had the box sitting there on our fancy table. I think it was pretty good even aside from all that.
-
Pretty elite. Went to a Sam Adams beer dinner there a month ago. It was fantastic.

the Yia Yia's in KC is pretty good. not great, but i would think it's pretty pimp for wichita.

Their beef tenderloin is probably my favorite steak in town.

I'm going for a Tequila paired dinner. Looking forward to it now

Love the pizza.

thoughts...
knollas is pretty decent. the one on 13th that is. the rest are prob just pretend knollases.
avivo is similar to il vicino but different. like both.
fav appy in all of wichita is the cheese log roll w/ pesto stuff at avivo.
eff you guys for doing something on the 14th. could/would make it pretty much any weekend but that one.
-
Stuffed portabello caps @ avivo are the tits

The 14th is my wife's birthday will be taking her to Dave Matthews that night, any Old Town activities would work out well for us.
BTW Avivo is better than il vicino IMO. il tries too hard, love the panini's at avivo too.
Knollas blows, their 13th & West locale is very close to my office. They gave us cold pizza once, never again.
Yia-Yia's as reported isn't bad at all.
-
Dave Matthews that night,
I somehow only just heard about this last night.

It was one of the first concerts they announced. I guess that giant Intrust billboard east bound on Kellogg downtown isn't doing what it intended to do

Sounds like BS to me. Further proof of my theory that Rick Daris hates Wichita.

Went to pickup my tix this afternoon, if you plan on going there aren't many seats left. Just the section next to the stage, some GA SROs on the floor, and some in the upper deck far from the stage.

Going to the Iowa st fair. Tone Loc and v ice Sunday night. Plus butter sculptures. :love:

Courtyard by Marriott Old Town
no starwood properties in Wichita
-
You can still get Angelos pizza at a little neighborhood bar called Yogi's. Its at like 26th and Seneca. Some sort of connection between it and Angelos, their pizza is amazing.
-
Also, the Jerrys Bait Shops in KC bought the old Pyramid Pizza recipes. Sundays are like BOGO or something like that. Also delicious.
-
Use Marriott points to stay at the Courtyard in Old Town. If you can't, probably just go ahead and spend the money to stay there. Everyone I know stays there when here and has no complaints.
You could look at the "Hotel in Old Town" to see if there's a deal. Don't think they're affiliated with any points-based chain though.
Hyatt and Holiday Inn downtown aren't too far from stuff.
Hamptons are all in the middle of nowhere.
-
yeah. either hotel old town or that courtyard in old town. both are in old town and are v nice.

got a room at the hyatt for $50 bidding on priceline last fall... either that or the old town recommendations

Trim, JWichita, MIR, Others - Whats the opinion on Yia-Yia's? I am apparently going there in a couple weeks.
I bussed tables there when I was in high school. The food's pretty good.
Also, a couple years ago two teachers from one of the Wichita private schools--Independent, I think--were fired after a cell phone video of them boning in the Yia Yia's bathroom was posted online. So the restaurant has that going for it.

J-Mart got a bloody mary with a piece of bacon in it in Vegas

Mort's bloody marys w/ jerky are pretty legit. The bloody cajuns w/ tomalives (sp?) are also pretty sweet.

The wife and I will be kickin it around Old Town all night. After the concert we are thinking about going to a wine bar we saw tonight but had not previously seen. Some place called Mike's Wine Dive. It is at NW corner of Douglas & Oliver. Looked trendy, any of you dudes familiar with this place? If it's worth the trip we'll check it out after DMB, if not we'll stick to OT. Maybe a chance to meet the wives of Gooch & JW?

Mike's Wine Dive.
I haven't been. Have heard mixed reviews. Eagle reviewed it recently: http://www.kansas.com/2010/07/23/1415776/wine-dive-pleasant-surprise.html
Hit that some other night when you won't have to drive away from a madhouse and back into it after a little bit. You can park for the concert in my spot if you want.
JW gets first crack at sketching out pak plans for that day.

have been. it's ok. really loud and difficult to have a conversation in most nights. owners are not very cool...from what i know. overall, not a fan. worth checking out though.

Not sure who you met RE: the owners of the wine dive. Vin Zant doesn't live in Wichita but it's possible you met him.

It's a bit busy/loud still, but a nice addition to the area. jt - is Vin Zant any relation to the ones who run the pool service company in College Hill?
-
I only know his parents, who are physicians. But they are a Catholic family who lives on the eastside, so I would imagine there are more of them in the area.
