WILSON Although Brittany Butler says she follows a recipe, she mostly cooks by feel the way her grandmother taught her. We measure to a certain point, she said. She (her grandmother) was more of the type that said Oh that looks or it smells good.
Butler enjoys baking bierocks and kolaches, making ice cream floats and more at Grandma s Soda Shop and Diner in Wilson - a town known as the Czech Capital of Kansas.
Butler s great-grandmother was half Czech. Her recipes were handed down through the family. Butler s grandparents started Grandma s Diner in 2012, hoping to bring back a bit of the traditional cuisine and customs.
