Yee haw.
Yee haw.
Lawrence's newest steak house, The Hereford House, 4831 W. Sixth St., combines the elegance of fine dining with steaks and entrees you don't have to be a cowboy to appreciate.
the restaurant, which also has two locations in Kansas City, opened its doors for dinner in Lawrence last Wednesday. It will begin serving lunch Monday, Jan. 15 and Sunday brunch on the Jan. 28.
The Hereford House's entrance is framed at night by outdoor torches. Inside, the restaurant's atmosphere is classy yet cozy as patrons dine next to a giant fireplace in the center of the restaurant.
The decor's theme is in true John Wayne-style, with cowboy statues, paintings and gear adorning the walls and ledges of the giant room and downstairs that seats 374. The soft lighting, carpeted floors and intimate booths give the feeling of dining at home. Overall, the Hereford House is elegant without being stuffy, unlike some fine restaurants.
It may feel like home, but it serves entrees your roommate could never pull off.
Steaks, the Hereford House's specialties, come in three different sizes and with a choice of potato-based side dishes including an excellent twice-baked potato. The restaurant claims to have the best steals in Kansas City, and it lives up to its high expectations, with steeks cooked to perfection with just the right amount of flavor.

for nonsteak eaters, the menu offers a range of entrees from a moist, split-roasted half-chicken to salmon, lobster and other seafood options with freshness and flavor rarely found in Kansas.
It don't stop there. The desserts range from a toasty peaches 'n cream pie with ice cream topping to an exquisite espresso creme brulée
However, don't think you're getting a bang for your buck. At the Hereford House, you're paying for what you get with most entrees priced at $17 or more. The dinners start at an $8.95 steak burger and go up to the $41.95 steak and lobster entree.
While members of the Hereford House staff are new and were sometimes a little bumbling, they were friendly and eager, topping off a positive dining experience. Glasses were almost always full and wait staff were at our beck and call, even scraping our crumbs off the table for a considerate though obtrusive touch.
Overall, the Hereford House is a positive addition to the Lawrence restaurant scene, which sometimes lacks in fine dining. Make a reservation or be prepared to wait because one of Lawrence's newest restaurants is sure to be a popular choice for bored diners.

Web logging newest rage
By Chris Hopkins
Kansan online editor
Writing these columns isn't easy, but it's not too difficult, either. In fact, plenty of other people spend more time on this and find more interesting things than I do.
Nonetheless, one of my favorite compendiums is on the Web site www.fark.com, which is wacky, satirical, insane but sometimes serious. They throw on about 50 links daily, and I always read at least a couple.
The Spike Report, ojr.usc.edu/content/spike.efm, filters it down even further, picking out the cream of the crop and giving you a good description to work with. Most of it is news from respectable sources, too, such as the Washington Post and the New York Times.
what you will get.
Putting favorite sites out for all the world to see is the newest rage online, with everyone and their 15-year-old angst-ridden daughter (especially their 15-year-old angst-ridden daughter) posting their latest finds and their current affairs in a sort of public digital diary called a Web log. At www.ringsurf.com/netring/ring=weblogger-action=list, you get a list of over 500 Web loggers, all with unique and valuable perspectives despite the fact that many can't legally smoke.
As a Web designer, I like to take a look at innovative sites as well as interesting news. A couple of the best collectors of really high-end, sharp-looking sites are www.finddesign.com and www.invertebrae.com. They look pretty spiffy, and Find Design lets viewers rate the sites it links to so you can get a good idea of what you will get from the long load time.
I only poked through the first hundred or so, but a couple of the best ones I found were www.freespeech.org/stormdamage/ and www.btinternet.com/~yannaco/weblog.
Of course, you don't have to be a passive participant in this. One of the reasons this is exploding is www.blogger.com, a site that makes it possible for everyone to bitch about how bored they are to everyone else.
log at www.masochistic among you, I may start posting at charon.blogspot.com if I get three spare seconds in a day. You know you can't get enough.
Finally, I can't resist ending my stint with a satire; check out all of George Dubya's thoughts on the presidential race and life in general in his very own Weblog at www.satirewire.com/weblog/bushlog.html.
