Now a couple of things about this Denny's on Shawnee Mission Parkway. First off, the wait staff absolutely loves us! Second, they give us a private room. Pretty cool, huh? Sure, it's not haute cuisine but that doesn't matter. There's plenty of reasonably priced breakfast/brunch dishes on the menu. We usually have a great crowd […]
Okay. I'm gonna apologize up front for what follows and to anyone who appeared in the musical, "Gypsy." "Lettuce entertain you!" "Lettuce drive you wild!" "We're gonna eat some salad and maybe sing a ballad, 'cause we know you're versatile!!" So, Crushed Red is a really good place to grab a bite. Yeah, you're going […]
Prime Timers Kansas City is pleased (okay, I'm thrilled!) to announce a little something new. On an ongoing basis, we're going to post different events happening in the area. This differs from our scheduled and painstakingly planned (c'mon, no jokes!) normal outings and is more an opportunity to attend various activities on an informal basis, […]
So, before we chat about bridge, did you know that contract bridge has its origins in the 16th Century? And, about 15 million Americans age 45 and over know how to play and about 5 million of them play at least a few times a year. Kinda' nifty, huh? Now my exposure to this game […]
Ah, the appeal of Pegah's in Shawnee. Sure, the food is pretty darn good and plentiful. Yeah, the coffee is hot and reasonably potent (I'm lookin' at you, Denny's!) and we get a semi-private (well, sort of) back room. But the real charm of the place is when our favorite waitress snarls at us, "Hey […]
30 years ago, Missie B's opened as a gay owned and operated piano/karaoke bar. Since that humble beginning it's become a leading gay KC hangout with special entertainment and drag shows. It's not just a place to grab a drink, it's an experience! So, join your fellow KCPT'ers to celebrate the end of the week […]
Now this is something special and you have your fellow PTKC'er and board member, Mike Sugnet, to thank! Mike arranged with Bruce Winter, aka Melinda Ryder, to take us on a private tour of her exhibit "Arrive as a star, leave as a star" at the Museum of Kansas City on Saturday, June 14 at […]
Now before we chow down at The Cheesecake Factory smorgasbord (I see you drooling, Doug!) next Monday, we're gonna calm down a little. And, that leads us to a really good casual Asian restaurant called Spices in North Kansas City. There's a lovely menu full of Asian Fusion and Thai cuisine AND a full bar. […]

I've never been to this restaurant but anyplace named "Jumpin" has me intrigued! Better yet, noted, late New York Times food critic, Craig Claiborne, swore that farm-raised catfish is the finest freshwater fish in North America. If you've not supped upon grain-fed, freshwater raised catfish you are in for a culinary treat! Now don't despair […]
