World Fresh Market was a grocery store I kept seeing on TikTok. Then it made it to local news. I…read morewas in the area and realized it was World Fresh Market I kept seeing on TikTok. I have been trying to figure out which grocery store had those fruit shaped cakes. I walked into World Fresh Market. The front of the produce reminded me of City Market. Beyond the produce, not a regular store. This grocery store has the prettiest cakes I've ever seen. There's flan larger than a regular cake. There's bags of iced cookies. Breads of all types. Oh, they also have tacos plus a Mexican restaurant attached. The bakery winds around to the middle of the store. Those fruit shaped cakes? Right there. So cute and looking yummy. I can't say enough about the bakery. I bought little fruit shaped watermelon fruit cakes. I also bought pistachio filled croissants. This is absolutely my favorite store. I'll be back cause I'm in this area often. But seriously, stop by the bakery and get a mousse cake if you want to be the favorite at a potluck.

Wow what a bummer. I hadn't been there for a while and went back again today. I ordered a falafel…read morebowl, and thought I'd get the same great service where they let me select what I want in my bowl. Unfortunately that's not what happened and I was too hungry to say anything. I had the falafel bowl. The dude just piled up whatever was in the bins & threw them in the bowl with some kind of awkward semi organized manner, while *completely* ignoring the hummus and the garlic sauce. I swore he put the hummus in first, but at the end I asked him if there was Hummus in my falafel bowl- and the answer was no. As in NO HUMMUS IN A FALAFEL BOWL. I also wanted garlic sauce and he refused to put it into MY food only on the side like some kind of lame afterthought for the flavor impaired. My buddy got the shawarma wrap, which looked more like a taquito. They put french fries in the shawarma wrap, along with a little bit of shawarma- and not much else. The advertise price was $9.99 but when we got to the register the price became $11.99. when we brought it to their attention that his shawarma wrap was not actually what they charged us - which they called a "viral ribeye shawarma" they try to tell us the extra $2 was for the nine french fries they added to the package. I GET that were in Kansas, and there's not too many folks that even know what a falafel or shawarma is- but these guys who spoke the language of these regions so they certainly do, or I guess I should say- they used to know what it was. I am quite disappointed by what they've become, I hope they understand this- but I probably won't find myself willing to give it another shot for a while.

They had a lot of varieties and brands of liquors. We stopped by the store to get some snacks, sodas and lottery tickets. Prices were reasonable for the items. The cashiers were friendly, assisted us with quick checkout.

They have lots of imported foods, chocolates, cheeses, coffees, candies, and gifts from countries like France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. On my last visit I decided to try some of their coffee and the individual who helped me made a recommendation for how to make it. I definitely took her advice and she was spot on. I appreciated the tip. I also always have to grab a box or two of Stroopwafels because this is literally the only place I can find them and they're so good with coffee! I highly recommend stopping in and seeing all the cool stuff that they offer.

I went on a two month long hot dog adventure that ended with stop #20 at Fritz's Meat and Superior…read moreSausage Company. Fritz's takes a blue ribbon for its $3 made and smoked in-house hot dog. Free sauerkraut, mustard, Dijon, BBQ sauce, and ketchup are available at the condiment table and other toppings are available for purchase, I added jalapeños and slivered onions for $1. A masterpiece on a soft but durable bun. I also bought a $5 pint of sausage "burnt ends" that I ate plain and mixed into a scrambled egg dish. The $8 whole smoked chicken was my wife and I's favorite chicken we've ever had. I'm sad that in Fritz's has been in operation 99 years and that I have never been in before this weekend. If you buy rotisserie chickens from the store, stop it and head to Fritz's.

While during most of the year, they do sell lunch, that's just not why most people go to Fritz's. They're renowned for their smoked meats. Around holidays they sell smoked turkeys, gravy, and- most importantly- their 3 sausage stuffing, which is a must for our holiday meals. It is delicious! It can get busy some mornings with people picking up, but I always see people getting helped fast, the line goes quickly. Pro tip: you don't have to be there right in the morning. Wait a couple hours and come in, you'll be fine. Year round, we're a fan of their breakfast burrito mix of meats- just cook it up with eggs and you have yourself a filling meal. Then there's the dog bones.... Altogether, this is a simple and unassuming place, a bit old fashioned, but very much solid.

This makes the 4th one that I've shopped at and is by far my new favorite, simply because of size. The added square feet gives a much better shopping experience and not as many times having to say - "pardon me" while navigating the compact produce and butcher areas and tight aisles. Not only does this EMF have a better and larger floor plan, they have added a small juice and ice cream stand near the front door. The produce selection and pricing is fantastic as is the gigantic butcher case and bakery. The three most important areas to judge a grocery store and they delivery on all of them. Today I loaded up on fruits and veggies for the week - (mangos 3 /$1 and limes 15 / $1) and then some fresh churros from the bakery. El Mercado Fresco - please come to the Northland; the Price Chopper location at N. Oak and Vivion will be vacant by years end. Please...

The…read moreaudio portion of this particular stop traces the history of the meat packing industry in KCK in general and the history of Krizman's specifically. I highly recommend downloading the app and taking a listen. I knew that I was going to love the place before setting inside or taking a bite. With it's 85 year storied history and 3 generations of family running the business, you know something is working in their favor. As soon as I entered the retail storefront, I could smell the smoked sausages in the glass counter I bought 1 link of andouille and 3 links of the smoked Polish sausage. Not only is there a wide variety of house made sausages, but plenty of side items, spices, rubs, sauces, specialty desserts, and even t-shirts and hats. Make sure you check out all the history and framed articles on the wall before leaving. I haven't used the andouille yet, but I've had two meals using the smoked Polish and it's the best i've ever had. Can't wait to return for a different variety to bring home and sample.
