Strip's Chicken & Brewing - Merriam

09/12/2024

🌟 Monday Update from Strip's Kitchen! 🌟**
Hello everyone!
We wanted to let you know that our Lenexa and Merriam locations are currently **sold out of our Homemade Chicken & Noodles** until later this afternoon. We apologize for the inconvenience! (Plenty at Olathe)

Last night, we celebrated our annual Employee Christmas Party at our Lenexa store, which was a blast but left us with quite a bit of cleanup this morning. While our Chicken & Noodles are temporarily unavailable at Lenexa & Merriam, you can still enjoy our **award-winning White Chicken Chili**—perfect for a chilly day!

Our Christmas party has evolved over the years. Initially, we’d take a limo out for dinner, but now I love cooking for my amazing staff and I have fun surprises for everyone! Each staff member receives a ticket for each year (and partial year) of service, with some employees earning up to **7 tickets**! 🎟️ Everyone is guaranteed at least one gift, and we have a wide range of exciting prizes including a big-screen TV, laptop, air fryer, portable basketball goal, fire pit, scooter, AirPods, luggage, and even a drone—plus each gift hides $20 to $100 in cash! It’s an event our team truly looks forward to every year!

🙏 A heartfelt THANK YOU to all our wonderful customers for your continued support through our growth. You make it possible for us to take great care of our team!

🎁 Don’t forget, our **promo code GC20** is still active through Christmas Day for **20% off e-gift cards** available on our website!

🍷 if you have any wine drinkers on your list I’m sure they would be thrilled to get a bottle of **Legarde Organic Malbec**, Argentina’s oldest winery (made from vines originally planted in 1906), exclusively available in the Midwest at Strip's Lenexa & Merriam for **$32 a bottle**. We also have their Malbec Rosé! Plus, don’t miss out on our unique craft beer growlers, available for just **$4** plus the price of a pitcher of beer (ranging from **$21 to $29**).

Thank you for being part of our Strip's family! We hope to see you soon!

We sold out of chicken and noodles this morning at Olathe! I will deliver more there by 4pm today (Friday) because I’m working on them now. We currently have a good supply of chicken & noodles at the other two Strip’s locations.

If your mom won’t make you chicken and noodles for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving MINE WILL! 😜. But you’ve got to get them tonight if you want them for tomorrow. And we still have some at each location but we close at 9pm everywhere. But if you miss them tonight we will have more for you when we reopen Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Chicken & HOMEMADE Noodles are BACK! Price is the same as last year at $7.99 a pint. You can order them in place of fries as a Premi-Yum side item or individually..

Once these are cooked we immediately chill and store in microwaveable/freezable pint containers. You can order them cold if you want to freeze or reheat later OR you can order them warm if you are going to eat them right away. (I was going to say “hot” instead of warm but don’t want anyone to think they are spicy!).

Mom and I have been hard at it again this year and we ALMOST have a system now. We were up last night in our new Lenexa basement kitchen cooking - there’s so much great space to work down there! I mixed the dough by (gloved!) hand and mostly used my pasta machine to roll out the sheets of dough. Mom cracked the 72 organic, cage-free eggs and cut every noodle by (gloved!) hand.

We made 154 pints tonight but of course took 8 pints home to eat 😇. Then my staff will be gobbling them up tomorrow so it takes a lot of production just to have some available to sell! 😅.

If we don’t fizzle out mom and I plan to keep our homemade chicken & noodles in stock thru December 21st! (We will be closed this year from 12/22/24 thru 1/1/25, a bit longer than normal)

These noodles have always been the most requested item for my family celebrations. I’m sure your family will enjoy them too if you don’t eat them first!

Strip’s Chicken & Brewing opened its doors last week in its new Lenexa digs, just off Santa Fe Trail Drive — in the former home of a Mexican restaurant.

16/11/2024

Last night, my mom Julia and I shared grilled chicken nachos and a pork burger at Strip’s Chicken & Brewing - Lenexa! 🎉

We quietly opened our doors on Tuesday, and I’m thrilled to say everything has been running well!

Our spacious 6 ft x 6 ft booths, originally from in our Waldo location, fit perfectly into the dining room and each comes equipped with a TV and a video game controller—so you can enjoy gaming along with your meal! 🎮🍔

I’ve also displayed large graphics that tell the stories behind our beers, mounted right in the booths. Pro tip: Zoom in on our photo together, and you’ll spot a heartwarming throwback of my mom carrying me as a baby, flanked by my dad and uncles in front of their hay hauling truck. I even tried to convince her to carry me for this picture, but she wasn’t having it! 😂😇

My uncles, Don & Ken, eventually purchased a “Hay Monster” I loved riding on dangerous, top-heavy contraption long before I could even lift a hay bale. That nostalgia inspired my Hay Monster Light Ale, a refreshing beer they would have enjoyed on those hot summer days. 🍻

We’re open in Lenexa from Monday to Saturday, 11 AM to 10 PM (Closed Sundays). Online ordering went live yesterday (double reward points!) Plus, deliveries through three popular apps will be launching soon. 📲🚚

Come on down and enjoy the deck!

🚨 **Important Update: Lenexa Location Opening Delay**

I wanted to let you know there will be a short delay in the opening of our Lenexa location. We’re now set to open on **Tuesday, November 12th** (fingers crossed everything goes smoothly in the meantime! 😜).

This morning, when I arrived at our new Lenexa site to check on our delicious pulled pork in the smoker, I was met with quite a surprise. Every gadget in the building seemed to be beeping—thankfully, our coolers were still working, but the lights were flickering more than usual. To top it off, the brand-new glycol system, just installed yesterday, was displaying an error. Our ice maker and computers were all acting up, and I even heard our HVAC and cooler fans randomly speeding up and slowing down.
I quickly turned off all the breakers and called Evergy. I’m grateful their technician arrived within an hour! Although he couldn't see anything obviously wrong at first, he noted that our service relies on old aluminum wiring from the pole to the building, which needed immediate replacement. 😍

Just a few minutes later, he returned with the solution: we had “lost the neutral.”
Despite my years of remodeling old buildings and even taking Mr. Buntin’s high school class that had a chapter on electricity, I still find electrical systems quite a mystery—especially how our coolers could be partially functioning with one prong on a plug not doing its job! 😱

Fortunately, there’s been no major damage to our equipment, except our Spectrum and Google internet, which appear to be fried. The bright side? All the electrical work will now be less than 5 years old!

AND I got this cool piece of antique ART. IS this art or not? 👀 Please help me decide if I should hang this sculpture on the wall
somewhere in the bar 😇.

After a day of unexpected troubleshooting, I’ve decided to push everything back by one day. I hope to see you all on Tuesday or sometime soon!

🚨 Crisis Averted at Merriam! 🚨

Thanks to my new MOCREO Smart Temperature Sensors, we quickly resolved a potential disaster in our meat cooler! Just a couple of days ago, I texted the Merriam kitchen team: “Something’s off with the meat cooler. The temp has been above 40°F since 4:05 PM. Please check it out and lmk.”

Even though our True brand cooler is top-notch and only a few years old, it turned out a capacitor needed replacement. The best part? I was alerted within 15 minutes, allowing us to swiftly transfer our products to another cooler and prevent further damage. This saved us from a much costlier compressor failure!

With 8 refrigerators and freezers in Olathe, 9 at Merriam, and 14 at Lenexa—including the coolers for alcohol and beer (because temperature matters!)—keeping track is no small feat. Refrigeration units can fail for many reasons, from blocked fans to walk-in cooler doors propped open by delivery drivers.

Back in 2016, we relied on basic dial thermometers. Unfortunately, staff only seemed to check them after spoilage occurred. I upgraded to LED readout thermometers with alarms, but sometimes these were being silenced or ignored during defrost cycles.

In a bid for better control, I instituted a checklist system where temps were texted to me three times daily. However, I soon discovered some employees were faking readings! 🤯 So, I required photo evidence of each thermometer readout but sometimes I would look back and realize I wasn’t getting the all the temps 3x a day. It’s been a struggle, to say the least, for everyone involved.

Enter MOCREO! These smart sensors come with a rechargeable battery lasting over a year. You can set temperature ranges and receive notifications if those limits are breached—complete with reminders every 10 minutes. This tech has truly revolutionized how we handle temperature management.

Feeling relieved and secure in our food safety measures! If you’re in the food industry, I highly recommend investing in some sort of smart temperature monitoring. 🌟

We are well into our 9th year at Strip’s and the only way we have been able to survive is by trying to be as perfect as we can with everything we do - and most of the items on our menu have stories about how we changed procedures until it’s perfect every time. Of course the master key to that is retaining employees who are proud of the food they serve. We all appreciate your support!!

I remember a post I did here back in February that said I wasn’t planning to do much remodeling here in Lenexa . . . some of you laughed knowing me better than I know myself 😂.

And we could have reopened this Lenexa immediately with minimal effort just like some of the others did but there would have been a million imperfections that would have driven me crazy. But this is so close to my home - and for sure, without a doubt, my LAST BUILDING REMODEL - EVER - I wanted to do this right! This has easily been the most enjoyable AND STRESSFUL - remodeling project I’ve ever engaged in.

Now I’m not ruling out a drink/(food?) trailer renovation next year 🙄. We’ve got our catering liquor license which means we can take our craft beer and cocktails anywhere in Kansas with very minimal licensing effort. Now that we have 3 locations with such close proximity and a tremendous amount of capacity, Strip’s should be at the top of your mind for catering options!

We have previously leased Merriam for wedding parties and big events (it’s not cheap but way cool!) and of course Lenexa will be available for that too. Maybe even cooler?! For big events I could do homemade pasta . . . Just wait until you see what’s in my head for our future here 😍

I used to stress a bit about every catering order. But now I only stress about WEDDINGS. Every wedding event takes up residence in my head for me to worry about regularly from the moment it’s discussed, contract signed until finished. Weddings are so important! Perhaps I’ve got a lot of anxiety but it isn’t something I want treated because the constant worrying = we do better! You definitely don’t want a wedding caterer who doesn’t worry! 😜

And you can relax when you hire Strip’s for catering because we have 4.9 stars on EZCater and 100% on time rating since we opened in 2016. Possibly the highest rated/most trusted caterer in the KC Metro?!

$2 OFF! Have you ever tried Crème Brûlée Cheesecake with Luxardo Cherry Marshmallow Sauce? Unless you’ve eaten at Strip’s Chicken & Brewing in Merriam during the last couple of weeks then your answer is “Not yet but soon!” 😜. This cheesecake isn’t available in Olathe YET but might show up on our new menu.

And now through October 31st if you tell your server you want the “cheesecake” discount or enter “cheesecake” as the coupon code when you order online through our website you will get $2 off your first order. Regular price is $8.99. Discount won’t work through the delivery apps.

Perhaps this is one of my greatest culinary creations - combining 4 of my favorite things! IMHO the world’s best cheesecake, creme brûlée, marshmallow sauce and Luxardo cherries.

What are Luxardo cherries? They are Marasca cherries grown in Croatia’s sandy soil with a history that goes back over 200 years. This little jar is $22 and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to keep staff from snacking on them 😩. These are the original “maraschino cherry” that the finest drinking establisments (Strip’s!) will never use anything else because they taste nothing like the cheap knockoffs - and an “Old Fashioned” just isn’t the same without them.

Since my food cost on this item is over $4, $8.99 is a great price in a restaurant so this “one time use” coupon code is only going to work once per order. If you order multiple cheesecakes only one $2 discount will apply. This offer is subject to availability but I’m stocked up and making every effort to be sure we don’t run out of cheesecake, marshmallow sauce or cherries!

I was a bit emotional yesterday when the tap tower was anchored down and fit PERFECTLY - as in I had allowed an extra 1/4” for the thickness of backsplash and backlighting meant all 4 flanges from tower are actually TOUCHING it and the drip tray is EXACTLY on the edge of counter. And this wouldn’t have been possible if the manufacturer hadn’t matched my plans PRECISELY (which I hoped properly accounted for the fact there’s a few things not level or square in this building 😂).

With the extremely limited space behind the bar, having beer lines running BEHIND the cabinets to allow functioning drawers below was a huge challenge - which is why I designed this crazy (beautiful!) contraption. I really hate taps that are on the bar creating a partial wall between customers and bartenders so the back wall was about the only place for the taps.

13 taps? You won’t find that anywhere except at Merriam where I plugged every other hole in my original 25 tap system there when I switched to the brewery concept. And there’s extra spacing allowed my Cabeza de Vaca tap!

Liquor bottles will be stacked on lighted glass blocks below taps as I did in Merriam . . .

Stop by Merriam for a piece of our new Crème Brûlée Cheesecake with Luxardo Cherry Marshmallow Sauce or Olathe for a Family Feast today!

Today’s San Francisco Salt Company’s annual SALT SALE - get 15% off! That lowers the price of the Hickory Smoked Sea Salt we use in so many things at Strip’s (including our crispy chicken strips) to only 1,680% more expensive than the cheap iodized plain salt used by most (all?) of our competitors ($3.36 vs $0.20 per pound). We use about 1,000 pounds of this salt a year.

Pre-Covid I was getting Hickory Smoked Salt from another company but it went out of stock and have been buying from San Francisco since. They have a lot of interesting products I have tried but have stayed on board with their hickory.

The hickory flavor is not overpowering and gets even more tame when it’s cooked. I doubt anyone notices it in their chicken strips but they’d notice if we stopped using it! I prefer to have layers of subtle flavor instead of one bold seasoning - and salt is something I usually minimize the need for with a twist of citrus - which you might also notice in our crispy chicken strips.

What else am I doing today?

Added 3 new employees to our payroll system training for Lenexa (in addition to 5 others💰😩 - please order food today 😇)

Taking 4 experimental batches of fresh bacon out of my various brines to prepare for the smoker tomorrow. 👀

Installing tap tower and misc. construction at Lenexa. (It’s looking sooooo good but don’t ask me when it’s opening because that’s out of my control).

Transporting seasonings and supplies between Olathe & Merriam

Cooking ribeye steaks for my kids & mom tonight using a seasoning blend I created to determine if they are as good as the steaks I cooked last week for mom or if that was just a fluke 😂.

And putting out fires as always.

I’m hoping you have a great day!

It’s been a LONG TIME COMING but we FINALLY have Mac & Cheese (GF!), Smashed Potatoes, and Pork Burgers at Merriam PLUS some NEW items I’ve been working on - Caprese Skewers (on a bed of fresh SPINACH for a salad because you can only eat so much fresh Basil) with Balsamic & Extra Virgin Olive Oil, BBQ Sampler Platters, Pulled Pork Sliders . . . and possibly my most amazing creation yet - Crème Brûlée Cheesecake WITH LUXARDO CHERRY MARSHMELLOW CREAM SAUCE! (Just $8.99 but after I finally got the sauce made this morning and tasted it I’m thinking we could charge double that 😂)

Yup I’m possibly the only restaurateur crazy enough to stay up until 3:30am this morning finalizing, printing and programming our menu without having ever tasted the sauce I planned to put on the cheesecake - but obviously it just HAD to taste great!

This menu will be the similar to what we open up with at Lenexa and some of these new items will show up on our new Olathe menu (including COKE products) coming in a few weeks!
