A Sandwich a Day: The Kevorkian at Geoff's Sandwiches in Providence

I had the Wyatt last Tuesday at Geoff's. Oddly, I commented on the Kevorkian. I also had several pickles... yum.

Served: Learning to Manage Restaurants and Bosses

@teacher I read last weeks and clicked on today's blog excited to read the outcome. I, too, was confused by this entry. It felt very disjointed and left many things unresolved--especially where was the food?

Where's the best dang pizza in Kansas?

Hope this isn't too late...

My favorite pizza on the Kansas side of the KC metro is Papa Keno's in the OP (and Lawrence). Their most popular items are giant slices made to order. They have some rather unique specialty combinations that keep things interesting. The OP location has Free State beer on tap (although, it's much easier to find now that they are bottling).

I'm also a fan of d'Bronx, although I've never tried any of the locations outside of the 39th and Bell St. shop in MO.

Looking forward to seeing what else you've dug up for pizza in the KC area. In general, I've had a difficult time finding a good local joint to consistently go back to. Not a fan of Minsky's and just didn't really love Wheat State. The Missouri side has Pizza Bella (which I think is slipping quickly) and Spin! putting out nice individual pies and I love Grinders, but I'm often feeling too lazy to put in the effort to go out of my way, finding parking, etc to grab take out after work.

The United States of Pizza: Iowa

I'll add another vote for Casey's pizza being ubiquitously available throughout Iowa (and other parts of the midwest). I think a lot of people in rural areas grew up it with it as their 'chain' pizza, as most small towns (i.e. circa 1000 people) had a Casey's but not a Pizza Hut, Domino's, etc. Very cheesy, very greasy, but oh so good. It's often the first meal I have when I return home to visit family. I especially loved the taco pizza with crushed Doritos on top and packages of taco sauce.

Speaking of taco pizza, I'm starting to believe it's a regional thing, as I rarely encounter people outside of Iowa who don't look at me like I'm crazy when I mention it. I'm sure it has something to do with Iowan's not knowing good tacos/Mexican food (especially 15+ years ago). Regardless, it's delicious.

Iowa pizza suggestions?

I really like Great Plains Pizza in Ames. However, be warned that the crust is thick and dense and the pizza is absolutely loaded with cheese. Sausage was my favorite.

Calling AHT Field Agents in Memphis and Kansas City

Do you remember the address or general location of Texas Tom's? I'm KC, but unfamiliar with it. It looks like at least 1 Texas Tom's closed earlier this year, but judging from the picture it could be a different location. http://blogs.pitch.com/fatcity/2010/01/closed_texas_toms_on_linwood.php

SmashBurger Is Smashingly Good

Is it easy/convenient to get take out from Smashburger? I like Five Guys because I can order a regular burger and fries and then head home and be a glutton in the privacy of my own house.
