Coffee Talk at Denny's
2025-12-24 10:00 - 11:30, 2025-12-31 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-01-07 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-01-14 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-01-21 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-01-28 10:00 - 11:30 | Denny’s on Metcalf Avenue, 10480 Metcalf Avenue, Overland Park, 66212, United States
Okay. So, by now you might know that Denny’s is closing many restaurants nationwide. But how do WE respond to this outrage? “HELL NO, WE WON’T GO! 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! Nothing is sacred here so come and enjoy yourselves.
Oh, last thing. Cold and flu season is upon us. Guys, please make sure you’re current with vaccines. Don’t make me sic Vinnie, our Vaccine Fairy, on ‘ya!
See you there!

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2025-12-26 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-01-02 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-01-09 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-01-16 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-01-23 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 getting the latest flu and Covid vaccines. Thanks, guys.

PTKC Mixer - At Missie B's & Dinner

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! Vinnie our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!

2025-12-29 17:00 - 19:00 | Bistro 303, 303 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
As many of you know, Bistro 303 has been a long-time, gay owned and operated bar and restaurant in Westport. The food (French Bistro-esque) and drinks are good, waiters can be both cute and friendly and it’s a great low key, relaxed vibe. Perfect for relaxing with PTKC pals. You’ll enjoy it. We have for years so join us!

Now most PTKC’ers really enjoy our monthly Potlucks and our January bash is gonna be great! First, the inimitable Randy Fowler and Mike Penny are co-hosting and secondly, we gotta theme goin’ on! It’s “Expand your Gustatory Greatness!” That means when it comes to comestibles, make or buy something that you’ve always wanted to try. Now Randy isn’t providing a main course, so give this some thought, guys, when planning what you’ll bring but wine, sodas and mixers are provided. Try something new! Something incredibly savory (or sweet) and haul it along with ‘ya! Take a culinary chance! We’ll just make sure everyone signs a release at the door. 😛
So, join us, fellas. Stay tuned for Jim Wright’s Punch Bowl invite and sign up and let us know what you’ll bring. Be creative and have fun! Just keep in mind that we’re kicking this Potluck off at 6:00 PM.
Oh, and for gosh sakes, please keep Vinnie our PTKC Vaccine Fairy happy.

Kansas City Restaurant Week!
2026-01-09 - 2026-01-18 | Kansas City Restaurant Week 2026
Think about the emotional attachment we place on food. For most of us, it’s more than mere nutritional necessity and as KCPT’ers, man, we LOVE to eat! So, it’s important to know that January 9 – 18th is Restaurant Week in Kansas City! Dine in, carry out or delivery, there are oodles of choices out there for ‘ya and deals to be had. This isn’t a formal KCPT event but we wanted you to know about it and it’s great to support local restaurants. I’ve included the link for more information at the bottom of this notice.
For now I’ll leave you with a really awful poem about pickles but with sincere apologies to our genuinely skilled resident poet, Michael McGrath.
The Cheesy Pickle
Trapped within, the brine was rank
But no choice had he, in despair he sank.
Until he spied some Brie outside the jar.
Oh, could he make it, it seemed so far!
He lept towards the cheese, no fear of falling
Now he’s a beloved cheesy pickle, adored by all(ing).

Grab some pals and have some fun!!

2026-01-12 17:00 - 19:00 | 30 Hop, 1020 NW Pryor Road, Lee's Summit, MO, 64081, United States
Now, okay. 30 Hop is a cool, kicky, kinda’ place for Happy Hour Dinner! Between 3PM – 6PM they offer 30% off appetizers, draft beer, cocktails and wine. And, for those of us needing further sustenance? Well, their menu is extensive. From soups, salads, sticky rice and noodle bowls, tacos and get this….on Monday’s their classic burger is only $5.99! Not too shabby, right?
So, bundle up and hustle over to 30 Hop with your KCPT buddies! We’ll meet ‘ya there.
(Oh, and don’t forget about a doggy bag for Vinnie.)

Now who knew? Close to our beloved Pegah’s on Johnson Drive is this woman and veteran owned, unassuming gem of a restaurant called Buenos Aires Restaurant. The cuisine is Argentinian-European with a small, carefully curated menu. From what I’ve heard their handcrafted empanadas are near legendary. I don’t know about you but I’m definitely intrigued!
So, slap “heck, yeah I’ll be there!” when the Punch Bowl invite hits your email and join us!

Happy Hour Dinner @ Bristol Seafood Grill in Leawood
2026-01-19 17:00 - 19:00 | Bristols Seafood Restaurant, 5400 W 119th Street, Leawood, KS, 66209, United States
I’ll admit it. I love Bristol Seafood Grill. Now I’m more of a downtown KC Bristol aficionado but the trek to Leawood is certainly worth it. Yeah, it’s an upscale “fishies from the sea” place that you can dress up or down depending on your mood. And, fear not. Bristol offers plenty of Happy Hour specials with a heady list of appetizers and delectable drinks! For those of you dining afterwards, there is plenty to choose from apart from seafood (meat eaters rejoice!) You’ll enjoy it!
So, join us tonight at The Town Center Plaza. We’ll be lookin’ for ‘ya!

2026-01-21 19:00 - 21:00 | The Cheesecake Factory in Overland Park, 6675 West 119th Street, Overland Park, KS, 66209, United States
So, first of all, who doesn’t like cheesecake here? Anyone? Anyone? Now what happens when said cheesecake is preceded by an amazing menu rife with all kinds of spectacular dining options!? I mean holy, moly! It takes 10 minutes to scroll through The Cheesecake Factory’s menu! So, that’s all I’m gonna write about this place. If you haven’t been, well, you need to join us.

There are multiple drinks and a very tempting menu, including Crab Rangoon, Shishito Peppers , Sichuan Pork Dumplings, Egg Rolls and several other options. The dinner menu is equally tantalizing.
So, let’s get together, celebrate Bo Lings, V.2 and one another’s company!

Dinner @ Cascone's in North KC
2026-01-28 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 like the company and the food. And, that, my friends, is most definitely amore! Make sure you get a couple of jabs in the arm and we’ll see you there!
