Traveling foodies from Wisconsin!


This is Lorna and Mary...self proclaimed traveling foodies from Wisconsin. I was shocked and honored to find out that this dynamic duo hopped in the car and found me using their navigation device (which they fondly named Greta Garmin!) We chatted for quite a while, took pictures together and I made them a list of all of my favorite places to eat around town...Lorna & Mary, if you happen to read this, report back on your culinary adventure in Kansas City. Would love to know where you ended up! These adventure seeking ladies are without a doubt Fresher than Fresh.

August First Friday at Hammerpress


First Friday was a huge success! We sold out of every last drop...including the Daredevil Special! (which happened to be Blueberry Sage, by the way)

My favorite moments of the night:

#1: A nice man and his family befriended the two young women that were standing in line behind them. Much to their surprise, he generously paid for their snowcones...just because! The young women happened to be identical twins, which made the whole scenario that much cuter (for whatever reason) See?!? Snow cones make people happier....and friendlier.

#2 Although I did not see it with my own eyes, a friend relayed the story that a little girl helped herself to a spoon straw and proceeded to "eat" imaginary snow off of my mascot's head. (which is actually made of thousands of clear beads...but it's pretty convincing...especially to a 5 year old.) Probably good that I didn't witness that one myself or I would have fainted from the cuteness and wouldn't have been able to sling all those snowcones!

A quick thank you to my trusty assistant of the evening, Dierdre Hanlon. Couldn't have done it without you. :)
