No Easter buffets in Wichita this year, but these restaurants have holiday meals to go
What a strange Easter Sunday it’s going to be.
In a normal year, Wichitans would be finalizing their Easter outfits right about now. And they’d be making reservations for a lavish Easter brunch buffet at a local restaurant.
But Easter this year is coinciding with the coronavirus pandemic, and more than half the Wichita restaurants that usually put on big brunches aren’t even open. The rest have scrambled to come up with to-go and take-and-bake meals customers can enjoy at home.
Here’s a list of some of the Wichita restaurants that are offering Easter dinner to-go. Let me know if you notice one that’s missing and I’ll add it. E-mail to dneil@wichitaeagle.com
