Bring on the Brûlée Torched Goodness hit the brakes on Main Street to serve Eudora real meals.
T
orched Goodness owner Julia Ireland spent most of her life living on the coasts—in Los Angeles and New York—before moving inland to Phoenix, Arizona. There, she founded the city’s first gourmet food truck in 2010, which was an immediate success. The next logical step—Eudora, Kansas. A decade later, Ireland is eager for Torched Goodness’ 6th year based here. “Moving to Eudora was a beautiful fluke,” she says. “I was ready to have seasons again, and the only place I had not lived was the Midwest.” The area also caught her eye thanks to its combination of small town charm and proximity to Kansas City. The food truck is best-known for its crème brûlée, a decadent dish of custard topped with caramelized sugar, torched to perfection just before serving. It’s just as popular here as it was in Phoenix: in 2019, The Food Network listed Torched Goodness as the best food truck in Kansas. When Ireland started the business, she wanted to make this luxurious treat accessible to anyone. “It was something high-end, only from a fancy restaurant. You can’t just go in and ask for a crème brûlée—you’re going to be in for a $50 meal just to get to dessert,” she explains. So she bought a truck and brought it to the streets. The torching process also adds a touch of visual and olfactory spectacle to the events Ireland serves. “I had the thought of weddings in the back of my head … You don’t get to enjoy the process in a restaurant, to see someone standing there torching it.” With food truck season running from April through October in the Midwest, Ireland and her partner, Andrew Sexton, had to branch into new ways to serve her sweet and savory goods year round. The catering side of Torched Goodness expanded quickly. “We serve lots of weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, and yearly galas,” Ireland says. She’s also forged relationships with many local groups with her catering services, often providing food for the City of Eudora, the school district, the fire department, the Eudora Chamber of Commerce, and other community pillars. “That’s what makes this fun for me; it’s different every day,” Ireland says. Having extra time in the offseason also spurred her to plan a fixed location for Torched Goodness in addition to the food truck—but she had to wait to make it a reality. “I kept looking at 826 Main Street, thinking that would be perfect, and I missed it the first time.” In 2017, she finally got her chance to lease the building.

It Takes Two to Torch The allure of freshly caramelized crème brûlée is enough to keep the team behind Torched Goodness busy year after year, but they’re not ready to rest on their laurels. Owner Julia Ireland’s partner, Andrew Sexton, innovates to keep to the business moving forward. “Andrew takes what I already do and makes it better. He is a whiz at techie stuff and does the Torched Goodness website, marketing, design of promotional materials, and is an integral part of building out the new food truck,” Ireland says. Together, they’ve dreamed up more novel ways to have dessert, such as the donut wall and build-your-own s’mores station, which Sexton built last winter. The donut wall is an aesthetically pleasing display of donuts, offering a nice decorative touch without sparing any sugar output. The s’mores station has everything for a hands-on s’mores-building experience. “It has a nostalgia to it—guys love it,” Ireland says.

Keep On Trucking
The kitchen, offering carry-out dinner and desserts, is open on Wednesday nights. “It’s been very well supported—Eudora wants real food,” Ireland says. Hand pies, pot pies, family dinners—and crème brûlée, of course—are hot sellers. The family lasagna is Eudora’s favorite; Bible study groups often order three or four at a time for their midweek meetings. Once, Ireland received a call-in order for a lasagna dinner from one charitable resident so a family in need could pick it up. But she is also expanding the local palate: “I have a lot of people who will try salads with farro, wheat berries, quinoa—things people aren’t as familiar with here, and they’ll say, ‘Oh my gosh, this is so good,’” she says. On a typical Wednesday night, about 50 people come through for dinner orders, plus another dozen just for dessert. “I have people that come in every week just for the crème brûlée. Families from Olathe and Lawrence, college girls from Lawrence,” Ireland says. She also serves many regulars at the Lawrence Farmers’ Market, where she gets all of her local fruit and vegetables during the growing season. She also sources some of her eggs from local farmers in Linwood. “If I can get it local, I do, because it’s a better product, and I like supporting local farmers,” she says. Wednesday nights have been so popular that Ireland plans to open the kitchen on Main Street a second night each week. She recently hired her first employee, a Eudora stay-at-home mom, to help handle the increased baking load. Ireland is excited to grow Torched Goodness’ presence in the community and make healthy food choice more available. Once available only in upscale restaurants, crème brûlée has found a home here in Eudora—but don't forget the salad.
SPRING/SUMMER 2020
In the 2020 season, Torched Goodness’ crème brûlée will be more mobile than ever. The original food truck, a 1974 Chevy box truck, will be upgraded to a new Dodge Ram ProMaster van. “It’s going to be modern,” owner Julia Ireland says. The ProMaster features more refrigeration space, better fuel efficiency, and a layout better suited to frenetic custard torching. On the first Saturday in May at the Kansas Food Truck Festival, the Torched Goodness truck can serve as many as 1,400–1,500 crème brûlées over the course of four hours—that’s roughly one every 10 seconds.
Crème Brûlée Flavors Torched Goodness cooks up a plethora of crème brûlée flavors, such as: • Chocolate Peanut Butter • Pumpkin Spice • Root Beer Float • Orange Blossom • Raspberry • Cherry The most popular, though, is sea salt caramel. “It’s been the #1 flavor for all 11 years,” owner Julia Ireland says.

n the summer of 2019, Shanda Hurla, with the Eudora Schools Foundation, and Cathie Klein, the career- and life-planning teacher at Eudora High School, were chatting. “What could we offer at the high school to provide our students more opportunities?” Hurla recalls. She was looking to expand the programs of the Eudora Schools Foundation, which was founded in 2006 to provide extra support and funds to Eudora teachers and students. Klein, who had already been matching students with local internships in her role as the senior internship coordinator, was also looking for new ways to help students: “We wanted to build upon the work students are doing in their advisory classes for their individual plans of study, which is stair-stepping the student toward graduation, post-secondary education, and life after graduation,” she says. The duo settled on the new Career Connect initiative so students could see career opportunities in the area for themselves. “We decided to choose a business or an industry and take up to 30 students to find out more,” Hurla says. They launched the Career Connect program in the 2019–2020 school year, taking students to a variety of area businesses to see firsthand how they operate and to learn about open positions. Students of all grade levels are welcome to attend. So far, they have toured Garmin, the University of Kansas Medical Center, Huhtamaki, and the facilities and operations management departments of USD 497 and the University of Kansas. “If we know they have a certain career interest, we’ll email those students first,” Hurla explains. Seniors are also given preference if a field trip is popular. The Career Connect program also arranges Lunch-and-Learn events at Eudora High School. “Twice a month, we have professionals come in over the lunch hour and do a career panel where students can come, bring their lunch, and hear about their professional track,” Hurla says. “We have a student moderate the panels—students want to hear from another student. It’s provided a great leadership opportunity for those student moderators to be in front of these career professionals, leading a panel in front of their own peers.” So far, Lunch-and-Learns have covered topics like business and sales development, arts and communications, information

technology, respiratory therapy, and logistics and distribution, all featuring professionals from a wide range of vocations and businesses. So far, the Career Connect program has been a huge success. “The feedback from students has been extremely positive and [the program is] sincerely appreciated,” Klein says. “These opportunities enrich the students’ knowledge of the career field they may be considering, or they may be introduced to a career field that provides the student with concrete information to pull from in their decision-making process.” “What’s been so informative for the students is learning that most professionals don’t take a direct path to end up in their field,” Hurla says. “It’s a journey to get to where they are. And they’re not at the top of their career as soon as they graduate high school.” One of students’ most popular Lunch-and-Learn questions? “How do people get hired?” Hurla says. “All of the panelists have said, ‘Be the hardest working person in the room. You’re not going to know everything—you’re going to learn. But always be willing to help and learn.’ That’s been pretty awesome.”
SPRING/SUMMER 2020
For the facilities management field trip, Tony Barron, executive director of facilities and operations for USD 497, explained to students the variety of duties and challenges for meeting the needs of a school, which includes everything from roof repairs, to vehicle procurement and maintenance, to turf replacement on athletic fields, to keeping playgrounds safe and up-to-date. Barron showed the students the warehouses of supplies needed to keep the schools running, and then students were taken to Lawrence High School to see the challenge of remodeling a school with students in it. Some students, such as freshman Lara Eaton and junior Corey Bateson, attended the trip because they wanted to see the construction. “I’m on the carpentry and electrician side,” says Bateson, who also attended the Huhtamaki field trip. Eaton says her family has a background in construction, and she thinks she may follow suit. “I got to go with my father and my uncle to open houses a lot to see the work they do. We also renovated our own house,” she says.

Others, such as junior Rachel Pratt, were more interested in the administrative side of things. “I’m still not sure what I want to do, so I’m exploring a lot of things and seeing what sticks,” she says. And then there’s junior Hayden Miller, who wants to go to Pittsburg State University to become a mechanical engineer. He also attended the Garmin field trip. “It gives me a real look at what the field is,” he says. Cathie Klein credits several people in making the program so engaging for the students. “Mrs. Hurla has spent endless hours organizing these events and reaching out to professionals in a wide variety of career fields. Mrs. Teresa Abel has been a critical component in communicating with students about these opportunities, organizing reminders, and keeping attendance records. Our guidance counselors reach out to the students they know are moving in a particular career direction so they don't miss out on the opportunity to attend. Lastly, the Eudora community and parents have graciously adjusted their schedules so they can participate and spend time with our students.”

Welcome to the Block: The Neighborhoods of Eudora
With individual personality and ambiance, each one of these communities offers a unique slice of life.
10
Wakarusa Ridge Estates
Meadowlark
Rolling Hills Estates
Near the intersection of 14th and Winchester, at the edge of the city limits, this cozy, figure-eight-shaped neighborhood is Eudora’s westernmost imprint ever since ground was broken here in 2001. The banks of the Wakarusa, woods, and wide-open spaces are a stone’s throw away. Wakarusa Ridge Estates features roomy, two-story houses with a shared aesthetic, but these homes fall well short of cookiecutter. They wind along curving avenues and cul-de-sac loops. The youngest residents adventure breezily throughout the subdivision, crisscrossing well-manicured lawns to play baseball in driveways while grown-ups grill on back decks. Plenty of green space between homes provides breathing room while still keeping the neighbor next door within hearing distance of a shouted greeting. There’s understated pride in these rows of tidy, cared-for, turn-of-the-millennium homes. This neighborhood has one foot in the rugged rural landscape, harking back to simple, country living, while the other takes just a baby step to hop on K-10 toward Kansas City’s bustle, a half-hour’s drive away. Wakarusa Ridge Estates residents enjoy a bit of both worlds.
South of K-10 and just across 2200 Road from Eudora High School, Meadowlark residents are treated to an inviting display of greenery at the community’s gateway. Maintaining the manicured landscape is a team effort that beautifies the neighborhood, increases property values, and keeps neighbors on a first-name basis. Meadowlark is a village within a city, says Grant Martin, co-treasurer of the Meadowlark HOA and 17-year resident. Besides large lots, stately and wellmaintained houses, and a safe atmosphere for his middle school-aged kids, Grant says he appreciates the convivial atmosphere at Meadowlark, where neighbors all pitch in. “Every spring, we have a community work day where all the neighbors get together to keep the common areas looking nice. We plant perennials up front by the entrance and clear the undergrowth. We keep a voluntary mow schedule. We pass around the hat,” he says. The neighborhood holds an annual gettogether, whether it’s a potluck or an ice cream social, and Grant says that the evenings are nice for a stroll to catch up with neighbors.
To the south of Eudora proper, the land is grassy and wild and the roads a bit bumpy. Drivers leave plumes of dust in their wake, passing congregations of hay bales, ponds chock-full of crappie, and a kind of scenery that looks lifted straight out of a John Steuart Curry painting. In the prairie southwest of Eudora, lovely vistas stretch to create mural-worthy scenes. But you don’t see a lot of is houses. If you live in Rolling Hills Estates, that’s exactly the point. Homes in this expansive area are few and far between along 2073 Road, near 13th and 2200 Road. Long, winding driveways and mailboxes signal occupancy, but not every house is visible from the road. The upscale estates here are, on average, 12 acres, providing both seclusion and space for stock ponds, in-ground pools, and guest houses. Each residence in Rolling Hills is a private hideaway nestled in the aptly-named topography. Paintings are lovely to behold, but some pastorals are best appreciated firsthand.

The East Side
Cherry Street
Between Eudora Elementary and K-10 is a neighborhood populated by busy families. Kids hang from trees and chase each other between midsize houses awash in Midwest charm: porch swings, floral wreaths, shutters painted barn red, and hand-lettered signs hung on front doors all convey welcome. Larry and Denise Sanders relax in lawn chairs on their driveway, catching glimpses of their 9-yearold daughter immersed in play with a gaggle of kids across the street. When she’s not doing volunteer work, hanging out at Zeb’s, or overseeing the Girl Scout cookie stand outside Gene’s Foods, Denise can be found enjoying life in “the ’sac,” as its residents call it, their own little oasis in the cul-de-sac on Hickory Court. “I’m kind of the neighborhood planner,” Denise admits. She has contact info for all the neighbors in the ’sac so they can text about a skinned knee, plan the next block party, or decide on a theme for this year’s Halloween party. Denise lists her neighbors by occupation, counting a nurse, a firefighter, a police officer, a retired couple. The microcosm of the cul-de-sac is their special place, but Larry and Denise say their neighborhood is but one star in a constellation of people and places across Eudora making them feel at home. “I grew up in Lawrence, and I was determined to stay there, but our agent insisted on showing us this house,” Denise says. “I fell in love. And when I got to know Eudora better, I fell in love with the small-town feel.”
Named for the whole tree, not just its fruit, Cherry Street is near Bluejacket Park among streets named Cedar, Pine, and Fir. The neighborhood is enchanting: The narrow thoroughfare is lined with towering trees, and each home is an original, several of them built a century ago by Eudora’s earliest German settlers when the area was still part of the wild, unsettled prairie and a pit stop on the Oregon Trail. Ami Bruce’s midcentury ranch house was new by Cherry Street standards. She speaks of it in hallowed tones, and, these days, in the past tense because she lost it to a fire in November last year. Luckily, no one was home when it happened. “I can’t wait to get back there,” she says. “It is the best neighborhood, with the best neighbors.” When she describes her family’s home on Cherry Street, Ami doesn’t dwell on the physical house; houses can be rebuilt. She is grateful for kind neighbors, people like Mrs. Reeves, who, at 94 years old, has been a part of the Cherry Street community her entire life. Between 11th and 12th on Cherry Street or one of the other long blocks nearby, the historic homes are remarkable, but Ami makes it apparent that neighbors are the essence of a good home. “People asked me where we would live after the fire, and I didn’t even have to think about it,” she recalls. “Of course we would rebuild. I can’t imagine living anywhere but Cherry Street."

DISCOVER EUDORA
story by cindy higgins
The Legacy of the Lightning Bonesetter Osteopathy founder Andrew T. Still had his breakthrough in Eudora.
A
braham Still Park, located at 725 East 14th Street, is named for a Methodist missionary family, one of the first groups to settle in the Eudora area. Today, the Stills are also celebrated for their advancement of medical science—though their history isn’t without its unpleasant moments. The first of the family to come to Eudora was minister Abraham Still. In 1850, he took charge of the Wakarusa Mission, a boarding school with a 100-acre farm, which was previously run by minister Thomas Markham. Abraham’s wife, Martha, joined him a year later with their children. The Still family taught children from various local tribes at the school, which was located on what is now the west side of Elm Street, between 12th and 13th streets. Each class consisted of about 40 children. Beyond being a minister and a farmer, Abraham also treated physical ailments. Similar to other self-acclaimed healers of the time, he believed extracting toxins from the body with laxatives would restore a patient’s health. He often prescribed calomel, a popular “cure” that contained mercury. Abraham dosed his 14-year-old son Andrew with so much calomel that his teeth fell out, a common side effect of excessive use. Six of the Stills’ nine children also went into the medical field, including Andrew, who joined Abraham at the Wakarusa Mission to farm and practice medicine in 1853. However, Andrew grew dissatisfied with ineffective treatments that addressed only the symptoms of each patient—he resolved to find the underlying causes of these ailments. He theorized that most health conditions were caused by the interactions between bones, muscles, nerves, and organs. To learn more about anatomy, Andrew removed recently buried bodies from graves around Eudora in the dark of the night to study the corpses. “I became a robber in the name of science. Yes, I grew to be one of those vultures of the scalpel,” he writes in his first book, Autobiography of Andrew T. Still with a History of the Discovery and Development of the Science of Osteopathy. Andrew was particularly fascinated by victims of cholera, a water-borne disease that killed many in the early days of Kansas settlement.

He determined that many conditions could be cured by manipulating the alignment of a patient’s bones. Few of his peers accepted this medical philosophy; in a time of unqualified physicians, Andrew was considered a sacrilegious quack. His brother James, who practiced medicine for 30 years from his home at 806 Main Street, openly questioned Andrew’s sanity. Shunned in Douglas County for his grave robbing and unorthodox medical views, Andrew moved to Kirksville, Missouri, in 1873 to be a “lightning bonesetter,” a title of his own invention.
I became a robber in the name of science. Yes, I grew to be one of those vultures of the scalpel. Twenty years later, he founded a medical school there. Graduating in the school’s first class were Andrew’s brothers, James and Thomas, who had converted to Andrew’s medical philosophy when they learned of his newfound financial success. At the school, students learned osteopathy, a term Andrew created from the Greek words osteon (bone) and pathos (suffering). Despite its dubious beginnings, modern osteopathy embraces Still’s philosophy of preventative care, treatment of the whole person, and use of osteopathic manipulative medicine to relieve pain and to diagnose and treat disease. His school, now known as A.T. Still University, continues to operate today in Kirksville and Mesa, Arizona. When explaining the difference between physicians’ credentials, Vicki Whitaker, executive director of the Kansas Association of Osteopathic Medicine, says, “A doctor of osteopathic medicine has the same admitting, prescription, and surgery privileges as a doctor of medicine, but they treat the whole patient—mind, body, spirit—while MDs treat diseases.” Today, 1 out of every 4 medical students is enrolled in an osteopathic medical school, according to the American Osteopathic Association. Upon graduation, these fully licensed physicians practice in many different areas of medicine and incorporate a treatment philosophy that started on Elm Street right here in Eudora.

BIGGER THAN For one night, Eudora became the basketball capital of Kansas—for a great cause.
E
udora might be a small community compared to its neighbors, but the town knows its basketball. After all, the memory of the Eudora’s boys basketball state championship in 2014 is still fresh. But there was a basketball game that took place in the Eudora High School gymnasium last year that will be remembered for years, that impacted lives, and not because of the game’s final score. The game included several professional players and even one NCAA Men’s Basketball National Player of the Year … yet even former KU star and current Milwaukee Buck Frank Mason took a backseat to the true stars of the evening. For the first time, the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic, an annual charity basketball game benefiting children battling cancer or other challenging illnesses, was held right here in Eudora. Organized by the “Voice of the Jayhawks,” Brian Hanni, the game included former Jayhawk standouts such as Cole Aldrich, Perry Ellis, Ben McLemore and 2008 National Championship guard Sherron Collins. Despite collecting such an impressive list of accolades, those players all knew this game wasn’t about them. “It was a fun event— I’m happy to be back,” Mason told reporters following the game. “This is bigger than basketball. I just wanted to contribute in any way that I can.”

“Taylia is a little fireball … she’s always on the move, happy-golucky”
MEET TAYLIA Every Rock Chalk Roundball Classic highlights a group of five youngsters known as “The Starting Five.” Each one is battling a serious illness, and the charity game is a benefit for their journey. Taylia Vannicola, daughter of Jason and Nicole Vannicola, was part of The Starting Five in 2019. Taylia has Down syndrome and was born with a congenital heart defect; she had to have open-heart surgery when she was only four months old. The Vannicolas were hopeful that it would be smooth sailing after that. It turns out, things got much worse. In July 2018, her father, Jason, suffered two strokes that almost killed him. A month later, on the two-month anniversary of her heart surgery, Taylia was diagnosed with leukemia. “We had a couple big hits right back-to-back,” Nicole Vannicola says. “We had a lot of strength in God, and that’s what got us through it. Because it was a lot to handle in a short time.” But this isn’t a sad story: Despite those hardships, both Taylia and Jason are doing great today. “When Taylia started chemotherapy, she soared through everything,” Nicole says. “She didn’t struggle with being sick or overly tired, or any of those things. She really handled everything so well … better than I did!” Taylia, who recently turned 4, has been cancer-free for over a year. As for Jason’s health, he says he’s almost back to 100 percent, and he’s returned to work as an IT professional. “Taylia is a little fireball … she’s always on the move, happy-golucky. She’s a wonderful addition to our family,” he says. “My middle daughter Laikyn loves to snuggle with her, and even though they each have their own bed, she is always begging to have sleepovers.”

SPRING/SUMMER 2020
THE VOICE OF THE JAYHAWKS Brian Hanni, the radio play-by-play announcer for the Kansas Jayhawks, started the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic when he was asked by his friend Brandon White, a youth pastor who was battling cancer, if he could use his Kansas basketball connections to create a fundraiser for children. The charity is now going into its 12th year. “My eyes opened to the fact that I had connections with former KU players, and if I could get them all together for one night, it could be something amazing,” Hanni says. “Sadly, before that first game, Brandon went to the Lord. But then I thought, what if we can keep building on this?” That first Rock Chalk Roundball Classic raised about $12,000. Now, the event raises closer to twenty times that amount and includes a golf outing with players and a dinner event. Hanni hopes that by 2022, they’ll crack the $1 million mark for all the Roundball Classics combined. The money raised is a huge relief for the families who are battling mounting medical bills. “All the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic people who put it on were so amazing,” Jason says. “The impact all the people who came out to support the charity—all of them—had on our life was significant. Financially and otherwise. It brought so much joy to all of us who got to attend.” “The financial support was a super amazing blessing, because when you’re going through something like that, hard things come … bills come … and at the same time, my husband hadn’t been working because of the strokes,” Nicole Vannicola says. “Because of the financial support we had, we were able to keep our focus on Taylia.”
Travis Releford rises for a dunk at the 2019 Rock Chalk Roundball Classic at Eudora High School.
AN INCREDIBLE LITTLE LADY So will the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic return to Eudora? Maybe not immediately, but Hanni says it’s likely, based on how well the town and the Eudora High School athletics department supported the event. “In the past, it was at Free State High School or Lawrence High School … we found out last year that both of those venues were unavailable due to construction,” Hanni says. “We thought about moving it to Topeka … but Eudora is right there between Lawrence and Kansas City, and because of the close proximity to both, it was ideal.” Hanni has lived in the Lawrence area for 20 years and was already familiar with Eudora. Now that he’s met some of the people here, he’s an even bigger fan.
SPRING/SUMMER 2020
“The athletics staff and Cara Kimberlin, the Eudora High School athletic director, were all so accommodating, so generous with their time,” Hanni says. “It takes elbow grease to put these games on—you have to move some mountains.” But of all the Eudora residents he met, it’s clear that he’s impressed with Taylia Vannicola the most. “She is such an incredible little lady, her zest for life could light up the whole town!” Hanni says with a voice that sounds like he just described a game-winning threepointer. “She has an infectious smile, a positive vibe. Spend even five minutes with her, and your face hurts because you’ve been smiling so hard.”
