Runza – Quality Fast Food thats Delicious
Runza is to Nebraska what Apple Pie is to America and for the longest time I desired a Runza to be opened in KC. A few years back I finally got my wish. It was like Christmas in July. No longer did I have to order a dozen frozen Runzas to tide me over until my next trip home. Not only could I get them anytime, hot and fresh as often as I wished, but I could order Runza … [Read more...]
Plaza III Saves the Day
So for Valentine's Day this year my wife and I decided we are going to go to J Alexander's for dinner. The unfortunate thing is J Alexanders doesn't accept reservations for dinner so I stop on Feb. 9th to see how they were going to handle Saturday night. I was told that they were still going to do call ahead starting at 4:30pm and we could get on a waiting list that … [Read more...]
Why Did Oklahoma Joe’s Change Its Name?
The concept of opening a BBQ joint in a gas station is about as genius as calling a BBQ place in Kansas City ….Oklahoma and yet with those two strikes against it Oklahoma Joe’s still hit a homerun with its food. The Z-Man quickly became one of KC’s most raved about BBQ sandwiches not to mention you can substitute pork for brisket to make it even better. “Pork Z-Man Please!” But … [Read more...]
Zarda’s Average Joe – Does the name say it all?
Walking into Zarda BBQ just west of 87th & Quivira is like taking a time warp. You’re walking into a business that has been there for ages and has a plain western feel ... ripe with ... wood. There’s wood everywhere. Wood on the walls, wood tables, the floor is wood, the chairs are wood, you’d think this was an old west saloon. So, I belly up to the counter to order, which … [Read more...]
Corner Bakery Café – More than Breakfast
I’ve been to the Corner Bakery Café a number of times now, usually for breakfast or lunch, but the other day my wife and I took the food monsters there for dinner. The food monsters wanted chocolate chip pancakes, a Corner Bakery specialty. Plus, every chocolate chip pancake order comes with bacon, which my kids won’t eat, so I must do my fatherly duties and devour it for them. … [Read more...]
The Brick – Dive Bar & Grill
How many purple doors do you walk through? I’m going to guess not that many, but if you go to The Brick at 1727 McGee, you'll enter through one into a seemingly windowless hole-in-the-wall dive bar and grill. To me, it had the feel of a graffiti-laced speakeasy with a stage for bands & karaoke. The Brick was also featured on the Food Network’s Diner’s Drive-ins, and Dives … [Read more...]
Carnivore Grateful for the Warm-Hearted
Cafe Gratitude 333 Southwest Blvd - Kansas City, MO 64108 Let me start out by saying I'm a card carrying carnivor. Meat is not only a food group (I grew up in the 80s) it's a way of life when you're from Nebraska. In my mind Veggie heads and Vegans must have a screw loose. But over my Christmas vacation I watched a few movies that opened my mind a bit to the reasons behind … [Read more...]
