HELL NO, WE WON’T GO!” So, be sure to join us at 105th and Metcalf with your fellow PTKC rebels! The food is fine, prices are reasonable, the coffee is hot and there’s a bunch of guys talkin’ away like crazy! Plus I finally subscribed to AARP so I get a discount!

Hump Day Dinner @ Cascone's in NKC
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!

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2026-08-07 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-08-14 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-08-21 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-08-28 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.

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 and the start of the weekend. Maybe grab a few pals and head out for dinner at some point. We keep it loose and easy (hey, no jokes!) and we’ll see ‘ya there!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, stay healthy, please! Vinny our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!

2026-08-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Osteria Ill Centro, 5101 Main Street, Kansas City, MO, 64112, United States
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!

Movie Night at Sam & Jim's!
2026-08-29 19:00 - 22:00 | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
Ah, the PTKC Movie Night. It’s a classic, much loved event hosted by our equally beloved board members, Jim and Sam. Our gracious hosts provide a few nibbles, popcorn, water and ice tea but if you’re so inclined, indulge us with something delicious that you’d like to bring. After all, we’re the guys who love to eat.
As you know we show two movies in their spacious abode; one upstairs and the second is featured downstairs. Choices are a good thing! So, showing upstairs is a wonderful 1995 flick, “MR HOLLAND’S OPUS” starring Richard Dreyfuss. And, downstairs, we got two goin’ on! They’re short videos, so we can do both. The first is “SCOTTY AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD” (2017). This is a really enjoyable and entertaining gay themed documentary. The second downstairs film is “THE TOOTH WILL OUT” (1951) starring the Three Stooges. Yeah, I’m gonna leave that one alone. Wayyyy too easy.
Now you know the drill. Keep an eye out for the Punch Bowl invite ’cause we get a great crowd here. Stay healthy, please fellas . It’s always good to check your vaccine status and be sure to join us!

2026-09-02 19:00 - 21:00 | Strouds in North Kansas City, 5410 NE Oak Ridge Dr, Kansas City, MO, 64119, United States
The year was 1933. Prohibition had just been repealed, we were between two World Wars and nary a cardiologist prescribed baby aspirin. THEN. COMETH. STROUDS!! Now Stroud’s award winning fried chicken came about because during WW II, beef was rationed and Helen Stroud started serving pan-fried chicken. The original chicken dinner was only $.35! Now, of course, Stroud’s has garnered multiple awards including the prestigious James Beard honorific. But by now you’re thinkin’ enough with the typing! IT’S FRIED CHICKEN so get outta’ my way!!
So, off we go north. If you haven’t been this place is both rustic and charming. I suggest wearing stretch pants, fellas. So, join us!
