Bangkok Pavilion
When I get a craving for Thai food I like to go to a little place tucked away in the Windmill shopping center behind the Home Depot on Metcalf just south of 95th Street. Bangkok Pavilion, 7249 W. 97th St. in Overland Park, has been a local institution since 1987 when they were one of only a few Thai restaurants in town and even survived a fire in 2005 which closed them down … [Read more...]

Unfortunately they had received a big order of ribs that day and were out so we were greatly disappointed by that news. Luckily the beer served was excellent so we were able to drown our sorrows.

The Fish Market Offers a Taste of the Gulf
The Fish Market is in South Liberty on 291 highway at 1120 E Old State Rt 210, Liberty MO 64068. This is an unassuming place that is understandably confused as either a bait shop or fishery supply store. I personally thought it was a tackle shop on the way to Fountain Bluff sports complex for years until I heard some neighbors raving about their catfish and hush … [Read more...]
