124-year-old cooking club that's still going strong

Wichita, Kansas

TEXAS cattle, Turkey Red wheat and Pizza Hut all helped build this city on the Plains. And in its own quiet way, so has the Thursday Afternoon Cooking Club.

For the last 124 years, its members have cooked through generations of culinary trends both excellent and unfortunate, holding together what is said to be the oldest continuously operating club devoted to what its founders called the exchange of ideas in cooking and domestic science.
