Denise and I opted not to make the drive up to Sylvan Grove, as due to her work schedule it would've put us back in Hutch well past her bedtime, but we met up with the gang at Atwoods before their departure to say a quick hello to our CKCA friends and grab some photos for the website. Enjoy!

A RESTAURANT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR STATE TAPS LOCAL SUPPLIERS, A SKILLED CHEF, AND GREAT BEER TO DRAW IN CUSTOMERS FROM SURROUNDING COUNTIES AND BEYOND
It’s Prime Rib Weekend, the first Friday and Saturday of the month, at Fly Boy Brewery & Eats in Sylvan Grove, and on this particular weekend the restaurant will end up serving some 160 customers—about the size of one-half of the town’s population.
“It’s cattle country, so we serve a lot of beef,” says restaurant co-owner and head chef Grant Wagner.
But that modest statement doesn’t explain the tremendous success of prime rib weekend at the restaurant near Wilson Lake. In fact, with good beef being served throughout Kansas, the standards are even higher for chefs, and Wagner has attracted people from all over the state to his restaurant by excelling at the main dishes while pairing locally sourced and seasonal ingredients with his vast culinary skills to create inspired farm-to-table food.
In serving up his 14-ounce cuts of prime rib, Wagner often pairs the dish with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, au jus, and his restaurant’s signature creamy horseradish sauce. Steaks might be accompanied by a grilled wedge salad featuring locally grown romaine lettuce. The kitchen sources beef from the nearby 4 Ranches Beef to make one-pound ground steaks with toppings such as burgundy mushrooms, caramelized onions and Swiss cheese.

Wagner’s prime rib and steaks are perfectly seasoned, cooked using a sous vide method, where meat is cooked “under vacuum,” to retain its moisture and to allow the inside to reach the preferred temperature without overcooking the outside. Adding to that, Wagner will reverse sear the meat—cooking it in an oven rather than on a grill—to create juicy, tender bites.
When he isn’t featuring beef, Wagner varies his weekend specials, such as grilled chicken served with handmade gnocchi and fresh pesto. He has also served chicken carbonara (with grilled chicken, pancetta lardons, sun-dried tomatoes, peas, and penne pasta tossed in a cream sauce) and creamy smoked salmon pasta with roasted cherry tomatoes and grilled asparagus.
