T Stands For The Breadbasket

About a month ago, my foodie friend Sally and I went to Newton, KS, a small town north of Wichita.

It's a buffet we have been to before and it's called The Breadbasket.  They specialize in German and Amish food.

I completely forgot to take a photo of the front, so grabbed this one from the internet.

Sally asked me to take a photo of the hours so we would know what times they were open.  For some reason, I thought they closed at 2 pm, which meant we had arrived a bit earlier than we would normally for lunch.

Directly at the counter, where you order,

they temp you with pie.

While Sally was looking over the menu, which is behind one of the cash registers, and I somehow forgot to photograph,

I tried to get a few photos of the buffet.

There were many people there, so it was hard to get one without anyone in the photo.  After all, it was noon.

What I was looking for was not on their menu.   I wanted the Regular Combo, which was all you can eat soup and salad.  You actually have your choice, which could also include ONE sandwich, and choice of ONE soup or salad bar. 

I wasn't interested in a sandwich, but wanted both the all-you-can-eat soup and salad bars.

Sally, on the other hand, had a tuna sandwich and salad.  My ranch dressing ran into my cottage cheese, which I paired with fresh pineapple.

This is our second time through the buffet.  They give you a new tray, new silverware, and up to three bowls for the soup, and a fresh plate for the salad.  I hadn't quite finished my old plate of bread, so showed it in the photo, too.  In case you missed it, we both had water, mine included lemon.

I eat so slowly, which means you really don't want to go with me to a buffet, right before we left, I was able to take photos of the entire buffet without anyone in them.  Sally was off buying some of their bread while I took these photos.

I found their restaurant here and their lunch menu here.  There were lots of other choices, too, including one time through a single bar (soup or salad) or an all you can eat single bar (soup or salad).  You can see Sally's bread choices here.

We had to park in an auxiliary parking lot, so on the way back to the car, I took a photo of this water meter.  Not as pretty as the ones I've photographed in Wichita.

Newton, KS is very proud of their local artist, Phillip Epp.  His "clouds" are everywhere in town.  I'm sure you have seen the photos I've shared of his art, but if not, here, on his site, is a bit of review of some I've taken and shown.  You can also check out his sculptures and paintings while you are there.

It's now your turn to share a drink related post.  Feel free to discuss anything. Your post may include photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Then, please link your story below.  The photos don't have to be taken on Tuesday, and can relate to anything with a drink.  Please use the direct link to your T post, not your blog in general, so we can find you easily.


Because this is the final T in September, I would be remiss if I didn't invite you to join me on October 2 with a post you have shared before.  The rules are simple.  Just bring back a post you have published in the past to share with us.  Any post, any genre, any length is acceptable.
