If there's one thing I've learned in Lawrence, it's that they love them some cream cheese.
They put it on pizza, and they're a big fan of it on donuts, too.
Cream Cheese Doughnuts at Munchers Bakery
925 S. Iowa St., Suite M
This one-of-a-kind pastry — imagine a jelly doughnut crossed with a cream cheese Danish — has had about 35 years to build up its die-hard following. “It just kinda goes with the place,” Munchers owner Mike Tennyson Sr. said of the famous doughnut he’s made from scratch for 25 years, after inheriting the recipe from the bakery’s previous owners. “People throw a fit when we’re out.”
Its dough is the old-fashioned kind: toothy and golden brown. The not-too-sweet filling tastes like real cream cheese, not weird gelatinous mystery goo. If you are one of the many Lawrencians who agree there’s nothing better than a Munchers Cream Cheese Doughnut (the landslide reader favorite for this list), try the strawberry version they just started making. Mind = blown.
So we made our way to Munchers Bakery after dinner in search of the coveted cream cheese doughnut.
Unfortunately, they were out. So I tried what I thought might be the next best thing: cream cheese danish.
But they did have plenty of other donuts available, as well as cakes and other goodies.
So the danish had a cream cheese that actually tasted like cream cheese. Very tasty.

One of my favorite things to do is get take-out from a Chinese buffet. Hear me out.
You can get a little bit of everything all at once. That's all I want.
While driving through St. Albans, I stopped at Dragon Garden Buffet to do just that.
Their buffet had a variety of favorites - sesame chicken, general tso's chicken, coconut shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, crab rangoons.
I loaded my tray up with a little bit of everything and had a tasty meal in the comfort of my own home.
Basketball is a big deal in Lawrence, Kansas. So much so that they even have a town-favorite dish named after the basketball coach.
At 23rd Street Brewery, they serve "Bill Self Pasta."
Matt Llewellyn, managing partner at the brewery, doesn’t have scientific polls to prove it but says this about the Bill Self pasta: “It’s probably the most ordered dish in Lawrence, Kansas.” Making up 7 percent or so of the busy brewery’s total sales, he said, this dish features fiery-hot buffalo fried chicken tenders over creamy big-shell mac ‘n’ cheese. It can only help to be named after Kansas University’s beloved, national championship-winning men’s basketball coach Bill Self. (SOURCE)
So, we ordered this pasta, and I also tried the "Biera Cranberry Sour," which is named for the Celtic goddess of winter this kettle soured ale is brewed with fresh Cara Cara orange peel and cranberries.
This pasta - "An amazing dish inspired by our amazing coach! Our made from scratch mac and cheese baked to perfection and topped with buffalo chicken tenders."
Wow, those giant shells are full of deliciously cheesy cheese and topped with spicy buffalo chicken.

Fayetteville's Big Dam Pizza moved locations to be in more of downtown Fayetteville proper.
Known for have gigantic slices of pizza, this shop makes it so you don't really need more than one slice.
I ordered one with mushrooms, as well as a pepperoni roll.
Look at that giant piece! Have you been here yet?
