T Stands For City Bites

One Sunday while the youngsters were visiting, we went looking for the Art Park, first mentioned by my friend and T Tuesday participant Foxy Stamping Sharon.  If you missed her post about the park, you can find it here. 

My foodie friend Sally thought she knew where it was and gave me vague directions to find it.  After searching for, and not finding the park, the youngsters and I decided to put it on the list of things to find next year.  BTW, Sharon has given me the address of the Art Park, so I will probably check it out prior to the youngsters return next summer.

Since we were on the northeast side of town, I thought City Bites might be a good place to stop for a late lunch. 

I remembered going to City Bites when I was in grad school and a few of us went over our lunch hour one time.   Somehow this didn't look the same, though.

I even thought the location was further south than it was. 

The owner and I got to talking and I told him how I thought I had been here before, but I was sure it was at a different location.  He told me I wasn't dreaming, and they had moved to their new location after I graduated from Wichita State.  We both agreed this restaurant was nothing like the previous one.

The youngsters have always been respectful of the fact I don't like to pay for soft drinks, coffee, or tea, when we can get those cheaper at home.  They always order water, as do I.  I waited at the table while they filled their cups with water.  They offered to get my water, but I said I wanted to take a photo of my cup before they all joined me at the table.  I knew it would be hard to keep three energetic kiddos out of the picture unless I did it this way.

I ordered the Veggie.  We all got the large sandwiches.  This is just half.  They wrapped our second halves to take home.  Half of my sandwich was made with wheat berry bread, while the other half was bread using sun-dried tomato.  The reason I was able to pick two types of bread was because they only had enough of the sun-dried tomato for a half sandwich.  After all, it was nearly closing time for them.

In case you are wondering what is on the cup, it is explained in the brochures we picked up.  In their quest for a better burger, they named it The Cow Calf-Hay.

My Veggie consisted of avocado, alfalfa, sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, black olives, crushed cherry peppers, and homemade ranch dressing I had them leave on the side.  Although the sandwiches were expensive ($10.00 USD each for the cold sandwiches), we got two meals from them.  I swear, I don't know how parents are able to take their children out to eat.  This sandwich adventure cost me over $42.00 (USD, which included tax).  It would have been over $50.00 (USD) had we ordered drinks other than tap water.

I also wanted to share this postcard I received over the weekend.  Bet you know who sent it to me.  At least you know if you were here last week for T.  One guess and it begins with H!

It's now time for you to share your own drink related post.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, 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.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention this is the final T post in August, so please don't forget to dig up your Second on the 2nd, a post that can be about anything as long as it is one you have published in the past.
