Slap’s Barbecue – Kansas City, KS
As we were getting closer to home, it was obvious we were going to be in Kansas City for lunch. That meant only one choice for the “what do you want for lunch?” question – barbecue. But there were way too many choices for where to have it. Looking at the options available, and our […]
Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers – Wichita, KS
While having a world of fun at “the bluegrass” (Walnut Valley Festival), we were talking with some friends about our plans for returning home and they asked if I had burger-stop planned before flying from Wichita. I told them we had tried Jack’s North High, Nuway and Bionic Burger on a previous trip. Altitude Boy […]
Bionic Burger – Wichita, KS
The fourth and final stop on the Kansas burger tour – Bionic Burger. After the disappointment at Nuway, I was still hungry and we had plenty of time to kill before our flight. So I hit the Hamburger America app on my phone and looked at burger joints added by fans. Bionic Burger was there. […]
Nuway Crumbly Burgers – Wichita, KS

Most of the time we eat in camp, but occasionally we go out, (like the jaunt to the Burger Station), but the other choice is food […]
The Burger Station – Winfield, KS
Once we got to the the Walnut Valley Festival, I was moderately consigned to the fact that the best food we’d have outside camp was the fair food on the midway. So while chatting with some friends at their campsite (about my preternatural fascination with cheeseburgers, among other things), one of the locals said, “Have […]
Jack’s North Hi Carryout – Wichita, KS
Last week, the answer to almost every question was, “I can’t. I’m going to Winfield.” One of few the questions with a different answer was, “would you like a cheeseburger?” “Yes, almost always.” Starting our pilgrimage to the Walnut Valley Festival, we flew into Wichita. Consulting the oracle at Hamburger America before we left, I […]
