Calling It A Night

Thanks to my wonderful friend A.P. I have discovered, and fallen in love with one of the best known hole-in-the-walls in KC known as Town-Topic.

A.P. - Thank you for introducing to such a wonderful delight that has capped off our many nights of randomness. Thank you for introducing me to the location of the best pancakes in KC. Thank you...thank you...thank you!!

After a night of randomness - which happens to occur every time we venture out into the nightlife of KC - there's nothing like a bacon, egg, & cheese with one (1) hot cake to comfort the night, soak up the alcohol, and fill my belly!! But what makes Town-Topic so special are these other interesting elements:

• The unspoken "fight" that occurs to secure a seat...there's only about 11.
• The greasy receipt you have to turn in to pay for your order.
• The drunk woman who argues on the phone with her significant other.
• The man in the roller skates with either no bottoms on, or has on shorts too short you can't tell...and you really don't want to know either way.
• The drunk man who thinks it's okay to speak to you in a different language...regardless of your race.
• The moment when the whole place goes silent because a black man has raised his voice.
• The envy you have of the people that called their order in.
• The random music that comes on because someone decided to lighten the mood and put money in the jukebox in the corner.
• The inner-fight you have with yourself to play or not to play the Soprano Pin Ball Machine.
• The other inner-fight you have with yourself to hold your pee...cause no one really knows what is behind that "door" that is supposed to lead to a restroom.

If you have not had the pleasure of a burger with an egg, the infamous "truckstop", the best pancakes in KC, or drinking orange juice from one of those mini-cartons...take a trip to Town-Topic whenever you can. If you want the element of surprise and shock...go after midnight!!
