What if you combined bowling and burgers? Steaks and strikes? Kansas and cuisine? The perfect entrée with a perfect game?
That remarkable combination was achieved by a group of Kansans who paired a bowling alley with a Kansas-themed restaurant to serve their community.
Dr. Ken Frank is an ophthalmologist in Ottawa. He and his wife Shelly and friends have launched a combination bowling alley and restaurant in their community.
Ken Frank has rural roots. He grew up on a farm near the rural community of Westphalia, population 128 people. Now, that’s rural.
After attending Garnett High School, he went to the University of Kansas where he graduated with highest distinction while earning a degree in cellular biology. He also met and married Shelly.
Frank graduated top in his class at the University of Kansas School of Medicine and completed an ophthalmology residency-training program in Texas. “We had various opportunities but we knew we wanted to come back to Kansas,” Frank said.
