The Butterworths, Wichita Kansas

Martin with Dave and Matthew Butterworth

We were excited to land at the Butterworths as the last couple of days had seemed extremely long drives. It was great to see them and the next few days were spent catching up and celebrating till two in the morning! While we all nursed our hangovers the next day, Dave cooked up a storm and smoked pork butt and ribs pretty much all day. After salivating for most of the afternoon as it slow-cooked in the oven, we dived into a monster meat-fest with Angie's parents and aunt and uncle.

Our visit wasn't all about eating, enjoying delicious wine and good company: Angie did also give us a tour of Wichita where we learnt several totally random facts, such as: Pizza Hut originated here, Kirstie Allie hails from here, it is the aeroplane capital of the US and the President's Airforce One is serviced here, plus the private jets of many celebrities, such as Harrison Ford and John Travolta who are frequently seen in town. * Mush
