Locally sourced food theme of restaurant to open in Bradley Fair

A former New York chef with a south-central Kansas tie is opening a new restaurant in the Good Egg spot on the north side of Bradley Fair.

First Mile: Kitchen will feature a menu of Kansas grown-and-raised foods beginning this summer.

Nick Korbee and his wife Amanda — a Newton native — are relocating to Wichita to be closer to family and in past trips have thought about a “food from here” concept.

“After visiting for holidays, birthdays and milestones for the last 15 years, it was the right time to come back to the Midwest and plant roots here,” Korbee said in a statement.

Korbee’s Egg Shop debuted in New York in 2014 and expanded to a Brooklyn location in 2017. He has also written a cookbook with recipes from the restaurant.

First Mile will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner with cocktails, local beers and wine.
