Places to Eat in Wichita, Kansas ↠ Hot Stone Korean Grill.

Dave and I are always on the hunt for authentic Korean food. We try to find the best spot in each place we've lived to get our Korean food fix. Dave got me started on this, since he was stationed in Korea before we met and has loved their delicious food ever since. I'm not mad about it. ;)

If you live in Juneau, Alaska, the place to get the best Korean food is Twin Lakes Cafe, but if you live in Wichita, Kansas (or are in town), that place is Hot Stone Korean Grill. Dave found Hot Stone on our wedding day, it was right down the street from my Dad's house (where he and the groomsmen were staying), they stopped in for lunch and some sake and we've been visiting ever since.

For an appetizer, we recommend the tempura vegetables...so much fried wonderfulness. For dinner, I recommend the tofu teriyaki and the salmon teriyaki, I pretty much always get the tofu, no matter how many times I say I'm going to branch out when we go. Dave suggests the beef bulgogi.

We love Hot Stone Korean Grill at all hours of the day, but we usually go during lunch hour so we can get the bento boxes. There's always plenty leftover and it makes a great snack for later...

If you live in Wichita, Kansas and haven't been to Hot Stone, you're missing out! We stop by at least once every time we come to town.

Atka, one year later.

I can't believe it's been a full year (as of March 31st) that we rescued our beloved Alaskan Malamute, Atka. She brings so much life and happiness to our home, I just can't get enough of her. Atka has more personality than any dog I've ever known and makes us laugh alllll day long.

Whether she's sitting on my lap, sleeping upside down, checking out the local art galleries in Austin, exploring a new trail, or (her favorite) playing with all of her bffs at the park...we always get complimented on how pretty and well behaved she is. We're so proud of this puppy and how far she's come since we got her a year ago. She came to us terrified of everything and super skiddish. Now she's just as brave, happy, and leash-trained as the best of them.

Atka, we love you so...happy one year anniversary of your adoption. We hope you only remember the good times by now...

I know I'm bias, but I think she's the cutest. If you have a puppy that you adore with a crazy love like we do Atka, post their picture in the comments and tell me about them...I want to "meet" them!
