Wichita is one of those places you wouldn\u2019t expect to be a foodie town. Tucked in to one of the flattest spots on the prairie in the heart of beef country, with a blue collar populous that’s generally pretty laid back, Wichitans have an appetite for very<\/em> good food.<\/p>\n

I know this because I concluded a ten-year residency there last month. I also know this because Alton Brown just ate his way through the Air Capital and seemed pretty happy about it. He recently wrapped his wildly popular Good Eats<\/em> on Food Network and took the show on the road. Alton Brown’s live\u00a0Edible Inevitable<\/em> made a stop in Wichita last night and there wasn\u2019t a foodie in attendance who left disappointed. Fortunately, we don\u2019t think Alton\u2019s appetite left town disappointed either.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Wichita for the seven pounds I\u2019ve gained in the last 24 hours,\u201d he said, reported the Wichita Eagle<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019ve eaten and eaten and eaten.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like I said, Wichita loves to eat, with 27 percent<\/a><\/strong> of the population being obese. The food’s just that delicious! We hope Alton’s seven-pound souvenir doesn’t hang around too long!<\/p>\n

The celebrity chef stopped at nine Wichita restaurants, according to Denise Neil at the Eagle<\/em>. And they were mostly a tour of my favorites, too. The only one he missed that I think was a huge disservice to his stomach was The Flying Stove, a nationally recognized food truck that we named a favorite vegetarian restaurant<\/a><\/strong> in 2026.<\/p>\n

Alton’s favorite? The Nifty Nut House. It’s not even a restaurant; it is, however, the most epic candy and treat store in all the land ever of all time. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything like it,\u201d the Eagle reports him saying. \u201cThat\u2019s a national treasure.\u201d<\/p>\n

He tracked his comings and goings through the best of Wichita’s eateries via his social channels<\/a><\/strong>, checking in with commentary and photos throughout the week. Where else did he eat?<\/div>\n
