MHK goEMAW Restaurant Awards 2013
« on: May 27, 2013, 09:06:53 PM »
With all the recent discussion I am reminded that it is awards season here at goEMAW.  Last year I typed up a People's Choice review of the Mercury's horrific taste in restaurants with a rebuttal.  This year I'm just cutting to the chase and drawing up my own best of with some additional reviews mixed in.

The first category that we will break down this year is Aggieville restaurants!

Best Aggieville Restaurant:   Rock-A-Belly Deli

It is a sentimental favorite.  The patio, the drinks, the hummus, the sandwiches, the service.

Runner-Up:  Taco Lucha

The up and comer.  I don't care for their sig cocks, but they have consistently made tweaks to their menu that have improved it.  The patio is the best in aggieville, the service is great, the bar staff is seasoned.

Show: Aggie Station/So Long

Yes, I cheated again.  Do. Not. Care.  These are the two best burgers in aggieville.  I think So Long's Nancy's and raspberry bean dip (or their disgusting nacho cheese dip) are gross.  I think Aggie Station needs to add something on the menu without 2000 calories of pork belly because even I have to draw the limit somewhere.  These are nitpicky problems, but they should and could be fixed. 

So Long: why don't you make a better salsa?  Good grief just steal something off the Lucha menu.  And how about making a legit wrap or burrito or something?

Station: You have a small menu.  Fine.  But does every rough ridin' thing need pork belly (bacon) on it?  Is that like a rule?

Both: I'm being hard on you because I love.

What say you?  Let's head to the phones.  Open lines.

Sorry caller we are up against a hard break but I have to disagree, Rock-A-Belly is highly regarded.  I'm sorry.  That is just the reality.  Alright, we'll be right back.

Gooch from Wichita.  Heh!  I'm sorry.  Danny, this is like getting lectured about great military victories FROM A FRENCHMEN!

uh line 4 EllRoberson!

1) Bolos
2) Station
3) Wahoo
4) Taco Lucha
5) So Long

Look I disagree, I laid out my case, but as an overweight late-middle aged lady I can see the appeal.  This is basically the list my mom would come up with if I asked her about where we were going to eat.

1 so long
2 so long
3 so long
4 so long
5 so long

Ha!  Good take.  Did not convince me, but I appreciate the enthusiasm.  Speaking of enthusiasm for food.  It is grilling season.  Let Jim Cattey from Smoke n Fire hook you up with a brand new Lynx grill with a built in rotisserie.  This is what I've got out back on my deck and it is built to click one button and go baby!  Speaking of baby, baby back ribs, you got a whole chicken turning on the spit, some veggies for the gals and how about this, grilled iceberg and artichoke.  And you've got yourself a salad.  Tell you right now, get down to Smoke n Fire, maybe sign up for a class with your grill and you'll be the talk of Olathe.  My buddy Pete has one, talk of his hood down there in Olathe with the wife and kids.  Great stuff Jim. 

And we're back to the lines talking Aggieville restaurants.  Quick break and we'll be right back.

Back to the lines, Townie J!  Good to talk with you my man.  I respect what you're saying here, but let's talk about atmosphere.  Look, if I want a great burger here's what I'm going to do.  I'm going down to Smoke n Fire, I'm talking to my man Jim Catte, he's hooking me up with some recipes, he's giving me the hookup with a great butcher, he's talking to me about Dodge City Steak Co. and we're off to the backyard, we're firing up the Lynx and we're done.  Piece of cake.  If you want to toss some bacon on there, let's do it.  Great.  Tailgating?  Great........but do you know what the best part is? 


You're OUTSIDE TOWNIE J!  Ya got the Bon Jovi blastin' you got your cutoffs and flip flops on, your workin' your tan.  You. ARE. OUTSIDE!  The only place I am outside at Station is if I am out back smoking with the wait staff while they should be taking my order.  Next caller!

I go to station like at least once a week, and never once had their food.

So long was really gross the one time I've gone, guess I need to try again.

Lucha wins KK.

I think we can all agree that it is probably a bad idea to put anything from Mae's in your mouth that isn't alcoholic.

Wahoo has an A+ fantastic brunch and great service. I hope it remains enough of a secret that I never have to wait for a table but not so much a secret that it goes under.
