You’ve got to check out the new Oread Hotel Restaurant in Lawrence. It’s ten stories of stone and dark wood, complete with restaurants, bars and even a nightclub in a “cave” in the basement. Sitting atop Mount Oread, it has a tremendous view of the KU campus and beyond. We were there before a KU […]

Los Cabos Mission Farms
I didn’t expect to like Los Cabos. Though not a chain, it is a part of a larger restaurant group, KC Hopps.
