Every locale has their own hidden treasures. Wichita, Kansas is no different. Since 1996, Wichita has been home to one of the midwest's best barbeque secrets: B&C Barbeque. What started out as B&C Creations, a place where local art and freshly prepared, hand-seasoned barbeque were both sold in the same place has become one of the city's worst kept secrets for awesome lunchtime dining. But, then again, word travels fast when you offer an amazing meal for a reasonable price. Especially in today's overpriced fast food market. B&C Barbeque is a great place to relax outside of the office, too, with our laid back approach and buffet line style. That's right. A barbeque buffet. The dream of every single person who's worked up an appetite from a rough day at work, or just those who want to impress clients with something more than just pretty dining utensils and overpriced drinks. So line up Wichita and Meat Your Match! B& C Barbeque also caters events, business lunches, etc. and will soon have a breakfast buffet!
Buffet Menu Items
B&C MEATS
Beef Brisket
Pulled Pork
Ham
Turkey

Ribs
Chicken
B&C SIDE DISHES

NEED MONEY FOR AN ART PROJECT?
|
|
WeMakeArtHappen.com is based on micro-giving, also called micro-funding or crowd-sourcing. It's basically this: You need $20,000 for an art project but you don't know anyone with pockets that deep. So, instead of asking one person or maxing out your credit cards, you put your project details on this web site. Now you can ask 2,000 people, 20,000 people, 200,000 people or more who believe in what you're doing to collaborate with you by donating small gifts toward your project.
To get involved, all you have to do is submit a short pitch of your project idea to our team, create the categories and rewards for different levels of "collaborators" and once your project is posted it's up to you to generate buzz and awareness. Tell everyone you know. Post social media messages until your fingers are raw. Scream from the top of your house. Market yourself. Do whatever you have to do to draw people to your project page. We're about community building here, about sparking change and helping ideas spread. More info
