Church Dinners/Suppers in Kansas 2019-20

Check out the fall 2019 issue of KANSAS! Magazine for my story, "Dinner, in Good Faith and Company," that includes a listing of mostly rural church dinners and suppers. You'll learn the details of each, and for travelers, it's a way to see and taste Kansas in the process. 
From soups to ethnic dishes and everything in-between, church meals are a showcase of the foods and cultures of regions across the state; indicative of the past and present culinary history of Kansas. They offer modestly-priced, tasty foods that often takes hours to prepare, served up with a heaping helping of hospitality—sure-fire reasons to eat your way through Kansas at church dinners and suppers.
