Salina adjacent: Would recommend driving between Ellsworth and Brookville on K-140 around sunset sometime. I'd forgotten how nice the vistas of the Smoky Hills are in that region.

Speaking of K-140, I grew up in south Salina. I’ve been on old 40 ~500 times in my life.  I always thought it went straight west out of Salina. I just recently learned by looking at a map that Brookville was further south than me the whole time. I had a visual what the county looked like & when I noticed it, it blew my mind.
Wow. I just looked at a map after reading this. Certainly west-southwest direction of travel. In my brain, it was always due west.

Brookville Hotel/Restaurant has the best family chicken dinner I ever tasted.  It went downhill when they built a new one north of Abilene.  I think it is closed now and we may never get to enjoy the best family chicken dinner in Kansas. :lick:

Have you tried it yet?  If so, how would you rate it and are they still serving family style?

No. But i thought I read they were going to keep the chicken dinners and add items from the Munson side.

I talked to someone who has been there since it reopened under the Munson regime and they state that it was good - very similar to the original.

I think that guy might have just passed out by a billboard near Topeka and woke up that way.

On one hand, having a Powercat tattoo'd to his head looks like is pretty far down his list of bad life choices.

Just remembered I went to a place called Blue Sky Brewery last year and had some decent pizza and slammed a few of their pints.  No idea what the hell I was doing in Salina in the first place.  What's the local consensus on that place?
