Kansas culinary wonders. Know any? If so, nominate them for inveterate Kansas promoter Marci Penner’s Eight Wonders of Kansas Cuisine competition.

Can’t recall its name before it was Wild Oats, but it’s been selling “natural” and organic foods there for decades. (KC Business Journal)
Springfield style. I wasn’t aware of the Chinese/Springfield, Mo., style of cooking until now. (New York Times)
