Brilliant things we've discovered lately in Kansas City

• KKFI 90.1 has a rockabilly show on Friday afternoons, about the time I get off from work. This is absolutely ideal for my drive home. I've been making triadruid listen to it. I feel that this is only fair, as he often plays things in the car like Dio.
  
  
• Ted's Montana Grill, while not local, scores big on most of my other scales for restaurant evaluation. Food is exceedingly tasty and pretty affordable, to-go boxes are paper and foil rather than styrofoam, they serve sweet potatoes, and they have very, very good chili. They do have a buffalo head on the wall, which is creepy, but, on the other hand, they do serve buffalo, which makes it somewhat less alarming.

I was thinking about styrofoam togo boxes the other day myself. I know it'd be more costly, but it'd be better all around if restaurants would pay up for plastic togo boxes that were at least reusable. I love those circular ones you sometimes get from chinese places. I'd even be willing to absorb the cost into the dining experience, myself.

Maybe I'll start being crazy and keep gladware in the car for takeout containers.

We probably should carry around our own to-go containers. We're still struggling to remember to carry around our own grocery bags, though. We are trying, though!

This was a sort of pie-pan experience with a cardboard lid. I think the pie-pan part might be recyclable. Not sure about the cardboard, since it had a metallic coating. I wonder what the cost of that is compared to foam?

Yes, I've gotten the best reusable plastic containers from Chinese and Indian restaurants!

Meanwhile, Skyline Chili is promoting "Buy a gift card, get a gift box free (while supplies last)". Said gift box is a styrofoam hamburger-size box with a bow on it.
