Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2026-07-17 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-07-24 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-07-31 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-08-07 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-08-14 12:00 - 13:30 | Pegah’s on Johnson Drive, 11005 Johnson Dr, Shawnee, KS, 66203, United States
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 old men – are you ready to order?!” You cannot put a price on that.
Clearly we really like this eatery as evidenced by the fact we all tend to hang around way past 1:30. We have a large crowd of PTKC’ers every Friday so it’s worth the jaunt. Parking can be a little tight but you’ll find a space – not to worry. So, join us!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by staying current with your vaccines. Thanks, guys.

Potluck AND Pool Party!
2026-07-18 11:00 - 16:00 | Pool Party at Frank Scolas, Address Pending, Address Pending, MO, Pending, United States
¡Ay, caramba! The inimitable Frank Scola is hosting Pool Party & Potluck# 2! This will be another fun swim and eat fest for all and Frank is serving Chicken Spedini! So, stay tuned for the Punch Bowl invitation, gentlemen, and give some thought as to what you’ll bring along to share with your PTKC pals.
Lastly, although Frank is pretty much a “I’ll handle everything fella,” it’s always great when people help set up and clean up. So, just let him know that you’re able and willing. Oh, and fellas? Frank’s address is on the Punchbowl invitation. So be sure to make note of it. Thanks!
Just don’t forget your stylin’ swimwear and sun screen. Join us!

Happy Hour Dinner @ Blue Sushi Sake in Westwood
2026-07-20 17:00 - 19:00 | Blue Sushi Sake Grill, 4705 Rainbow Blvd., Westwood, 66205, United States
Sushi lovers rejoice! We’re headin’ to Blue in Westwood, KS for a fun evening! And, what a great menu for our Happy Hour.

Hump Day Dinner @ Vivilore in Independence
2026-07-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Vivelore, 10815 Winner Road, Independence, MO, 64052, United States
Sometimes you just need to be refined and classy. I know what you’re thinkin’ but we can do it! Vivilore is a wonderful first date or romantic evening out locale. Does that mean that a collective bunch of PTKC men can’t have a great time there? Not at all!
Located in the heart of the historic Englewood Arts District in Independence, “Vivilore” comes from Latin; viva means life and lore means story — life story. The menu is beautifully crafted and very sophisticated. Take a moment and peruse their cuisine. Now be warned, no prices are listed. This place is not inexpensive. But every now and then we should indulge ourselves just a bit. Vivilore is the place to do that and exploring our own, unique life stories together is what makes PTKC so special.
Join us and enjoy!

No July Movie Night
2026-07-25 19:00 - 22:00 | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
I can hear the protests now! What? NO JULY MOVIE NIGHT?!? What gives?! Well, guys, it’s a simple explanation. Last weekend Frank threw his second tremendous Potluck & Pool Party. Now given Mr. Scola’s hosting proclivities, he also threw in a movie to top it all off! I mean, what a guy! But the upshot is we’re giving Sam and Jim the night off. But, never fear cinephiles. Movie Night returns on August 22. Stay tuned!

2026-08-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Cascone’s Italian Restaurant, 3733 N. Oak Trafficway, Kansas City, MO, 64116, United States
I feel a song comin’ on!!
“When PrimeTimer’s dine, it’s all mighty fine, at Cascone’s!” “They’ve got Gnocchi, Linguini and Chicken Spedini at Cascone’s!”
First off, my sincere apologies to composer Harry Warren, lyricist Jack Brooks and the smooth, suave Dean Martin for mangling this 1953 song (RIP, gentlemen). But it all works! Cascone’s is a quintessential Italian-American restaurant with great food, drinks and wonderful hospitality.
Stretch waist bands required here, guys! But you’ll LOVE the company and the food. And, that, my friends, is most definitely amore! See you there!

There are two notable quotes from Osteria Il Centro’s web page: (1) “Food and wine so good, it actually improves the conversation.” (2) “Garlic is the catsup of intellectuals.” Of course, I’d never quibble with fine food’s ability to stimulate enjoyable discourse nor would I question the gastronomic grandeur of that awesome allium’s allure! So, HHDs (Hump Day Diners) rejoice! You, my friends, can spend an enjoyable evening with your PTKC pals at this great restaurant.
