The next challenge in my quest to find Paleo-friendly dining out options in Kansas City took me to South America. OK, my quest took me to the northeast corner of the River Market to ‘A Taste of Brazil’, a Brazilian restaurant and market. I am always leery of trying restaurants outside of my “cuisine comfort zone”, i.e. no Indian food, limited Middle Eastern food, very limited … [Read more...]

Blind Box BBQ
A new BBQ place opened up in Shawnee late 2015 and I finally got around to trying it.

There is a Planet Fitness a few doors down so you can chow down and then work it off conveniently (yeah, right). Blind Box is a clean and well-laid out … [Read more...]

Family First at RCs Chicken
A while back the wife and I took our two little food monsters to RCs Chicken. We are about to add a third food monster to the mix at the time and my wife was craving some fried chicken and we had been meaning to try RCs out for a while now. The food monsters were in rare form that night which put both my wife and I in a foul mood. It was about 5:30 pm on a Saturday night and … [Read more...]
Art, Food, & Tequila – Panzon’s in Lenexa
Usually, when that urge for south of the border chow hits, a savvy KC citizen would head to the great Mexican restaurants along Southwest Blvd., up in KCK, or in the Crossroads area to find fine offerings of this cuisine. But in Lenexa, KS, at the southwest corner of 87th St. and Lackman Blvd., is a wonderfully quirky, locally owned Mexican eatery named Panzon’s. Look for the … [Read more...]
Paleo at the Brick
When I accepted the offer to become a contributor to KCFoodGuys.com (thanks guys!), I did not anticipate that shortly afterwards I would decide to make a major change to the way I eat. In order to improve my health and quite frankly not have to add another ‘X’ to the labels on my clothing purchases, I’ve needed to finally make a serious commitment. I am still under 50 years … [Read more...]

BRGR Kitchen and Bar
Ok, those who know me know that I enjoy going to any humble homegrown burger joint that tips toward the "dive" end of the scale. I'm talking about a "greasy spoon" kinda place that has a thin film of grease coating the floor and almost every other surface not required to be cleaned daily by the board of health. Town Topic, Grandstand, Westport Flea Market, and Haye's are good … [Read more...]
