So when I got home on a Sunday evening I immediately began to re-pack for a 'girlie' trip to Kansas? Yep, that's right...Lindsborg, Kansas! Two of my friends and I had planned a trip to Kansas to see Lindsborg, otherwise known as Little Sweden and to eat at a restaurant that has the best fried chicken in the world.
We headed west on Tuesday morning and spent most of the day dodging thunderstorms through Iowa and Kansas. We spent two nights in Kansas City, Mo. We went shopping in a very upscale area called, Country Club Plaza. We also discovered that Kansas City boasts that they are the barbecue capital of the nation so we ate baby back ribs in one of the eateries in the area. It was called, Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue. The ribs were excellent and the sides were homestyle cole slaw, cornbread pudding and such. This place was recommended by the folks at the hotel we stayed at and they knew what they were talking about!
This area is also called, "The City of Fountains" because the developer's wife was from Spain and she missed the beauty of her country, so he tried to bring a bit of Spain to her by designing and putting in fountains throughout the shopping area. They do remind you of Europe! The picture shows my friends, Jan and Joyce in front of one of the fountains in the plaza shopping area.
We left the next day to seek out the bustling city of Lindsborg and to find our fried chicken. As Paul Harvey used to say...tune in tomorrow for "the rest of the story".
Mmmmmm....ribs!
