QUICK BITES

New restaurants

Restaurateur Mike Issa, who most recently owned Italian Garden, is planning to open a Hereford House restaurant at Terrydyne country Club, in the spot where Palomino Grill has been operating. Hereford House is a popular steak house in Kansas City. It should open the first week of December and will be open to the public. Also, Cinnamon's Deli will open a restaurant in the same strip mall at 29th and Maize that also will have Five Guys Burgers and Fries . Both should open early next year.

Chili bowl

The WSU Ceramics Guild will have its annual Chili Bowl Sale from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at Kirby's Beer Store , 3227 E. 17th St. For $10, attendees get a handmade bowl and all the chili they can eat. The group will prepare six different kinds of chili, and the proceeds will benefit the YWCA Women's Crisis Center.

Adios, La Mesa

La Mesa Mexican Grill at 6960 W. 21st St. has closed, a victim of the economy and a new competitor down the street, Senor Tequila, which recently opened at 8760 W 21st St.
