Dear Good Life Friends,
I am having open heart surgery for a valve job this week and will be out of commission for several weeks. I hope you will continue to enjoy the Good Life while I get back to the “New Normal.” I have recorded some great shows to run for the next three weeks…and I look forward to getting back in the studio by the end of the month!
June 7th – Scotch & Sirloin
It’s all about the Issa Brothers and there BIG impact on the restaurant scene here in the flat lands. I’ll be talking to Mike Issa about all the restaurants but especially Scotch & Sirloin with it’a all new Fresh Look, updated but traditional menu with many of the favorites as well as the new wine cellar, wine list and use of Riedel stemware and decanters. It’s an exciting time to revisit one of Wichita’s world renowned venues for great food and wine.
