We are now in the hot weeks of a Kansas City summer, but people are out enjoying KC restaurants. I’ve been sampling and visiting so many that I’m behind on updates to Chuck Eats KC.
The Overland Park, Kansas Farmer’s Market runs on Saturdays, in downtown Overland Park. It has a wide range of farmers, specialty food companies, food stalls, and much more.
Hummus and Pita is an exceptional falafel and Middle Eastern restaurant in downtown Overland Park. Great flavors, lots of menu choices, and friendly service.
I visit Weston, Missouri on a frequent basis. One of the gems I’ve discovered there is the Weston Coffee Roastery. I really love their peppermint mocha.
This month has seen lots of openings and closings in the Kansas City food scene, but there have been big announcements about Westport and the Country Club Plaza.
This is the first installment of a series where I will be looking back at my favorite restaurants in cities outside of the Kansas City metro area. Today, I look back at Lawrence, Kansas in the 1980s, when I was a student at the University of Kansas.
I became an ovo-lacto vegetarian in June or July 1989, when I was living in south Lawrence, Kansas. It wasn’t a gradual thing. I quit meat cold turkey one day.
I had heard about Mi Ranchito several years ago and had put it on my restaurants-to-try short list. A few months ago, I started taking my father to a weekly appointment that was next door to the Mi Ranchito in Olathe, Kansas. One afternoon, we enjoyed a late lunch at Mi Ranchito.
It’s National Donut Day today, June 7th. What is your favorite donut store or source in the Kansas City area? Your favorite donut?
I’ve been wanting to visit Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que for years and talked about the restaurant a year ago in my Youtube video about Kansas City barbecue. The restaurant is now considered to be one of the metro’s premiere barbecue destinations. Part of that comes from its reputation as the barbecue joint in a gas station.
Restaurant openings, closings, and news from around Kansas City. Aqua Penny’s opens in Park Place. Quik Trip deploys new coffee machines.
