When many of us think of Kansas, the only reference we really have is that of dusty, farmlands and tornadoes due to the Wizard of Oz. Although some of these ideas are somewhat based on reality, there is much more to Kansas. Wichita, the state capital, is located on the Arkansas River in south-central Kansas and boasts a population of over 300,000 citizens. From its early wild west origins with saloons and cowboys to the modern day metropolitan, Wichita has evolved greatly over the centuries. We will be examining the dining scene in Wichita and suggesting a few restaurants for visitors to try while experiencing the city. Here is a small selection of restaurants in Wichita, offering a very fulfilling dining experience.
