August 11, 2025 -Happy Hour Dinner – Ricco’s Italian Bistro
Happy Hour Dinner – Ricco’s Italian Bistro
Now I kinda' like the story of this place. In 2003, three families took over a local eatery and Ricco's, with its artisanal menu, is the result. From appetizers to entrees, it's Italian cuisine at its best! Non restare lì seduto! Unisciti a noi al Ricco's Italian Bistro! (Don't just sit there! Join us at […]

August 13, 2025 -Dinner at Jess and Jim’s Steakhouse in Martin City
Coffee Talk @ Denny’s
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 […]
Dinner at Jess and Jim’s Steakhouse in Martin City
Who can argue with a fine classic steak house? Hand cut, aged prime beef and everything from Filet Mignon, Ribeye, KC Strips, Top Sirloin and Porterhouse. There's even some luminary history here. Writer Calvin Trillin, a Kansas City native, put Jess and Jim's on the national map. Years later the restaurant honored him by creating […]

Contract Bridge Night
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 […]

August 15, 2025 -PTKC Mixer – At Missie B’s & Dinner
Lunch at Pegah’s Restaurant – Shawnee
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 […]
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 […]
