BBQ: Jack's Stack in Martin City
New Year's Eve: Le Fou Frog
Special dinners: EBT, Marina Grog & Galley, Pierpont's
Sushi: Sushi House
Steak: we used to really like Jess & Jim's in Martin City but they went down hill 10 years ago or so. Hereford house is our steak place now but still lookin' for a really good one.
1960's Italian: V's (my Mother-in-Law loves the place)
The Bistro is pretty good for seafood (but nothing like Fresh Catch in San Jose, CA)
Been meaning to try 40 Sardines...

Jack Stack, 95th and Metcalf for us.
For a triple bypass burger, you can't beat the Westport Flea market restaurant! Ummmm, yummy! And cooked just the way you like it, no shoe leather burgers there!
Elephant Bar's not bad either, 119th and Metcalf
First Watch for breakfast, terrific Belgian waffles.......
Anyone know a really good Fried Chicken place in the south side? Since KT Fryers burned down, we've been looking for a good place for chicken..........

Ah... food...
I'll concur that First Watch can't be beat for breakfast.
As a picky BBQ eater, I have to say that LC's has the best meat, but Gate's sauce can't be beat. But then everyone argues BBQ in KC.
Pizza is D'Bronx, though Waldo and Uno are both close behind.
And while it sounds strange, my favorite fried chicken is at Chili's. It's just strips, but wow is it good.

I don't know about lamb, but Rose has found the best beef to be at - of all places - Target! Buy the Sutton & Dodge brand, restaurant quality at Target prices!Esmter wrote:anyone know of a good butcher around? red meat at the local hyvee just ain't cutting it lately... and i want a good leg of lamb!

Italian: Anthony's. It's downtown, on Grand. Great food. Great atmosphere.
Japanese: Haru's Steakhouse. It's on 119th street, near I-35. It's not the best food, but I have an affinity for this place, as I've eaten here pretty much every week for the last four or five months.
Mexian: Poncho's. It's on Main, in Midtown. It's dirty, the food is disgustingly greasy, but I love it.

For Chocolate (a basic need of life..like air, shelter, water) Annedores
(sadly they closed their shop but still sell online. Christopher Elbows is a decent second.
Naploean's used to have the best (& prettiest) cakes-sadly they closed also
Thai food-The Thai Place or LuLu's Thai Noodles for the bistro verion
We popped in to Johnny Carino's the other night and that was pretty good. Nice big pieces of Tiramisu (another basic of life)

Let the KC vs Memphis BBQ fight begin!Davester wrote:BBQ--- Oklamoma Joe's says it all. Thats the closest to real Memphis BBQ
I haven't had Memphis style in a long time, honestly, and then it was just one of the big chains while at the airport in Memphis for a layover, so I can hardly claim to be an expert. The sandwich I had was good, but then I'm a KC BBQ guy, so it wasn't AS good.

Another vote for McGonigles. It's the reason the flea market burgers are the best in town. They also supply at least the sausage for BB's Lawnside BBQ (Live blues every night).
BTW - BB's needs your business for a little while, at least until 85th reopens at Troost. Best buffalo wings in town. (imho)
Southtown non-BBQ = Stumpy's and Sharp's. The Bistro in Brookside is good, if a little pricey, which can also be said for Aixois and Joe D's.

I love, love, love Govenor Stumpy's. The food is good, not outstanding, but consistently, without fail, good. I do love their ribs, though, if I'm in the mood for a little bbq without going to a bbq place. The real reason I love that place is the Ryan family (and extended family). We've known them now for 8 years and their service is unparalled. Visit more than once and they'll know you by name, too.DDodge wrote:Southtown non-BBQ = Stumpy's and Sharp's.

Pizza, for me it's Waldo Pizza. Thank goodness a few months after we moved from Waldo to LS they opened one there so I don't have to travel as far for my fix.
Breakfast/brunch/lunch - another vote for First Watch. Love that place!

Sometime in August. I wonder why good bakeries in KC are few and far between? I think Napoleon was in the Westport location for at least 15 years and always busy when I visited. I'll continue taking my sweet tooth to McLain's and Andre's but it's just not the same as Napoleon.LittleRed wrote: Napoleon’s is closed!!!! When did this happen?

Would you be interested in planning the April meet, ending at BB's for lunch or afternoon snacks? Is there a fun drive we could do in that area?DDodge wrote:

I'm cross-posting since this is really a Grassroots Gathering but it seems to fit over here in the Foodie thread, too.
Would anyone like to join us for breakfast on Valentine's Day?
Here's the scoop:
WHERE:
Hyatt Regency Crown Center
WHEN:
Thursday, February 14th, 2008
TIME:
6:00 am to 9:00 am
COST:
$14.00 per person
It's a buffet with just about everything you can imagine made with chocolate and some non-chocolate items, too. It is a fundraiser for the Fox 4 Love Fund for Children and is sponsored by the Hyatt, KUDL and several other companies in the KC area.

Em is right, sweats or PJs are fine. In past years, we've seen everything from jeans and Ts to folks headed to work in suits. It's an "anything goes" environment. And you don't have to come right at 6--anytime between 6 and 9 works.

Has anyone tried La Fonda El Taquito on SW Blvd.?
I like the popsicle store (Palleteria (sp?) Tropicana) down the block but haven't eaten at La Fonda yet. I'm still searching for Mexican food on the Blvd. that I like.
