Big Country Fried Steaks, Big Buffalo Burgers, Big Breakfast & Big BLTs: Leavenworth, Kansas-Part One

Submitted by Jay Jay Goodvin as the Iowa Gallivant  

Exploring the Missouri River makes me really super hungry! I’m checking with my R&D department to see if that was an actual quote from the Lewis & Clark Journals. I am now being notified that it is not, but we’re searching for more archives. That’s quite enough of my hilarious wit, so let’s get to this gallivant!
Did “Big Breakfast” reel you in from the title? Well, The Depot pulled us in when we heard locals tell us about their infamous donut muffins! You gotta love a place that has warm appetizers ready for breakfast! Our jubilant server wasn’t letting us leave with one of their massive cinnamon rolls either. Sounds like we’re done, right? No way, because the Benedict and hash was calling! Perfectly poached eggs topped with rich hollandaise and served over a huge plate of smoked corned beef and another with pulled smoked chicken. Both seasoned potatoes and caramelized onions. They had great pride in both their food, fixed from scratch and deliciously made with as many local ingredients as possible, as well as the rich history of their location. That’s how you start a day in Leavenworth! read more here....
