Now some attribute the phrase, "a picture is worth 1000 words" to Napoleon Bonaparte who allegedly said, "a good sketch is better than a long speech. ("Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours"). But, enough about the little guy. Here's the only big thing that matters: No more words. It's Spin Pizza's Supreme Pizza. […]
Ah, the appeal of Pegah's in Shawnee. Sure, the food is pretty darn good and plentiful. Yeah, the coffee is hot and reasonably potent (I'm lookin' at you, Denny's!) and we get a semi-private (well, sort of) back room. But the real charm of the place is when our favorite waitress snarls at us, "Hey […]
30 years ago, Missie B's opened as a gay owned and operated piano/karaoke bar. Since that humble beginning it's become a leading gay KC hangout with special entertainment and drag shows. It's not just a place to grab a drink, it's an experience! So, join your fellow KCPT'ers to celebrate the end of the week […]
Chappell's opened in 1986 as a sports-themed bar & grill. Now before I have a disturbing flashback of learning how to throw a ball (hello, therapy), let's move on. Since then this place has amassed a mind boggling assortment of sports memorabilia and the menu became increasingly sophisticated. Great starters, entrees, salads and a really […]
Now a couple of things about this Denny's on Shawnee Mission Parkway. First off, the wait staff absolutely loves us! Second, they give us a private room. Pretty cool, huh? Sure, it's not haute cuisine but that doesn't matter. There's plenty of reasonably priced breakfast/brunch dishes on the menu. We usually have a great crowd […]

Now I kinda' like the story of this place. In 2003, three families took over a local eatery and Ricco's, with its artisanal menu, is the result. From appetizers to entrees, it's Italian cuisine at its best! Non restare lì seduto! Unisciti a noi al Ricco's Italian Bistro! (Don't just sit there! Join us at […]
