• 2007-Oct-20 - Eating In Kansas City Is Great

Kansas City is chock full of great places to eat.  The restaurants in Kansas City are some of the best in the world.  You only have to decide what kind of food you are in the mood for and go and find it.  Kansas City has them all.

 

There are many great Kansas City restaurants, and a great and fun place to eat for the kids would have to be a place called the Crayola Café.  They offer what is known as American food and is priced from $10 to $20 per dish.  The Crayola Café allows children to eat and play all at the same time.  And any parent or anyone who has ever been around children knows that this is something that children love to do.  This restaurant is decorated in bright colors and allows children to color on blank placemats.  This is definitely a kid friendly environment although it is not only for the children.  Many adults love to come here and bond with their inner child or remember their own childhood.  In this great restaurant they offer many foods that children and adults alike will enjoy.  Mac and cheese, chicken tenders and fries and even good old peanut butter and jelly are offered for the kids.  There are salads, burgers and other sandwich choices for adult entrees.

 

The Cheesecake Factory is another very popular restaurant in Kansas City.  Here you and your family or friends can enjoy a wonderful array of foods.  But I have to say the entrees are only something to nibble on before you get to the desserts.  The desserts here are to die for and no one can turn them down, even if you must take a dessert to go.

 

I have to say though if you are in Kansas City and you are looking for places to go and eat you must look for a BBQ restaurant.  There is nothing in the world like BBQ from Kansas City.  The place is famous for their bbq.  With so many restaurants all over the city specializing in bbq you must either try all of them or ask the advice of some older natives.  There are places that are moderately priced and there are those that can get quite expensive.  Just because the food is a bit pricier does not necessarily mean that it is better, especially when it comes to bbq.

 

A wonderful place to try would have to be Gates Bar-B-Q.  This family owned restaurant has been in business since 1946 and is still going strong.  Here you will find some of the best bbq around.  They also have a web site that will ship their food to you.  They will sell their rubs and bbq sauces on line also.  While in Kansas City you really must try this restaurant.  Dishes here are again moderately priced at $10 to $20 per entrée.  You can not go wrong with bbq from Kansas City.

 

Finding good food in Kansas City really only depends on what you feel like eating at the moment.  There are tons of restaurants in Kansas City and all you really have to do is walk around some to find them.  Each district of the city has its own favorite place to go and get good food.  If you are planning on visiting the city make sure you leave your self plenty of time to try all it has to offer.  You would not want to leave the city and not have tried all of its fine food.  Now I know that eating at every restaurant is impossible but you should at least try some of the local favorites.  Anyone in the city will more than happily tell you some of their favorite places to eat.  Just ask anyone you run into.  They are probably used to it and will be happy to tell you where the favorite local place is.

• 2007-Aug-20 - Kansas City is a booming culinary area

Kansas City restaurants are infamous for diversity.  There are many kinds of restaurants in Kansas City.  All you need to do is walk down a street and find pretty much all you want.  There are many ethnic food restaurants such as Italian, Mexican, or Chinese.  These are all wonderful choices.  There are also many steak houses or BBQ places to go to and try.  It really depends on your taste at the moment. 

 

There are different districts in Kansas City.  The restaurants all vary depending on where you are in the city.  The downtown or the convention center area of town will have again a wide variety to choose from.  There is Arthur Bryant’s BBQ.  You just can’t get away from BBQ in Kansas City.  There are bistros and café galore in that district.  There are also the areas of town like Crown Center or Country Club Plaza. Here you can find Benton’s Steak & Chop House.   Crown Center is mostly a retail and commercial district.  It is referred to as the retail/restaurant center. There are also many fine taverns here. 

 

All over Kansas City restaurants are everywhere.  With such a growing community that is so enriched with history, it is hard to not find what you desire.  When dining out has become such a popular thing to do it is necessary to have a widely diversified arena to choose from.  Of course it is not just the food that will cause someone to choose a restaurant in Kansas City, it is also the atmosphere.  If you the find the need for a quiet booth set aside from all the noise of a big city and perhaps just sipping on a glass of wine and enjoying a nice seafood dish, there is that option.

 

Finding ethnic food in the Northeast area of Columbus Park is pretty easy.  This area is historically an Italian-American part of town.  Some very fine home made Italian food can be found here.  For the taste of grandma’s sauce you may want to look around this area.  The area has recently more recently found Vietnamese and Southeast Asia immigrants flocking here.  Again there is some very tasty food to be found here. 

 

Kansas City is famous though for their BBQ.  Many restaurants throughout Kansas City boast their BBQ is the best.  There are over 100 BBQ restaurants in Kansas City spread throughout the city.  That gives you a wide variety of choices to where you can get your BBQ.  Many restaurants boast old home made recipes that will give “their” BBQ the best flavor.  If you have the time (and the stomach) you just may have to travel to each spot and see for yourself who has the best BBQ.

 

BBQ has indeed made Kansas City restaurants famous.  It has been a food that everyone loves.  While many people BBQ in their own homes and throw some great parties with some great food, not everyone has the same skill at grilling food as others.  That is when you find your BBQ restaurants calling to you.  There have been some BBQ restaurants in Kansas City that have started as small town places.  They have grown into nation wide franchises.  And as they have grown they have brought the Kansas City taste to a whole nation.

 

If you find your self in Kansas City and you are hungry, you should just stop where you are and look up. Chances are that you will find a restaurant very near to where you stand. There are many different choices of restaurants to go to in Kansas City. So with a specific decision of what your stomach desires and with a little help from some locals to point you in the right direction, you should have no problem finding what you need!!!

• 2007-Aug-15 - Restaurants Are Amazing - When You Visit Kansas City Go To These

There are hundreds of different restaurants, and there are more then 100 barbeque restaurants in Kansas City, this is one of the many reasons that it is known as the capital of the world. It’s always great to get some delicious bbq chicken, or a bbq rib sandwich and Kansas City offers the best mouth watering bbq food that you can ever imaging eating.

 

But barbeque food is not the only type of food that you can find in Kansas City, there are a variety of different foods that you can find, such as great steak houses, and even sushi. Yes that’s right I said sushi.

 

This city is getting bigger and bigger and with that comes better food and more restaurants. And there is no lack of great Kansas City dining and plain Kansas City fun.

 

Let’s take a look at some of the best restaurants in the Kansas City area:

 

If you are looking for a great sushi experience then you can find many different Kansas City restaurants that will offer you a great dining experience, and a lot of them offer you a good variety of food types. Such as Ichiban, this restaurant has both sushi as well as steak. This was a great place for me and my wife, because she is a huge steak eater and I am all about sushi. There is also great entertainment. Another restaurant that me and my wife enjoyed was Kona Grill they had some great sushi and for my wife they offered a variety of American dishes to please her. These are just two of the Kansas City restaurants that we will visit when we visit Kansas City. We will try one or two new restaurants every time that we visit and we visit a few times a year because this is where her entire family is. Some other good sushi places are Kona Grill, Sushi House & Jun’s, Nara, Matsu, and Friend’s Sushi & Bento Box.

 

Alright now that we know all about the sushi places, now we can take a look at some other types of Kansas City Restaurants. BBQ food is the number one reason that I love visiting this city, of course besides seeing my wife’s family. This truly is the barbeque capital of the world. LC’s BBQ is one of my absolute favorite barbeque restaurants and men I don’t suggest taking your any first dates here. There is no way around making a mess out of yourself. This is one good sign that the food is going to be excellent.

 

Peppercorn Duck Club is actually the restaurant that I proposed to my wife. It was a wonderful night, and the best night of my life once she said yes. And this very upscale Kansas City restaurant offers you nothing but the best experience that you can possibly have. Of course you are paying for this type of service, that’s why it’s great for special occasions.

 

Kansas City has so many different things to offer you and great food is just one of these things. You can find amazing entertainment, there is always something to do in this city. So if you are planning a vacation to Kansas City try to soak up as much of this city as you possibly can. This city has been known to inspire many jazz musicians and you can feel some of that experience when you are visiting the nightclubs. Let’s not forget the museums, shopping and parks that can fill your days with much entertainment.

• 2007-Aug-15 - Kansas City Vacations

You probably are not even aware at how big Kansas actually is. I remember spending a vacation with my family. We rented an RV and went across country, Kansas was by far the largest state that we drove through. It took us about two days to drive through. But before we did we stopped in Kansas City and spent an entire day, and one night visiting this city. It was an amazing experience.

 

An RV vacation is great and I always loved them when I was a kid, this is the reason that I am doing the same with my own children. So I want to take a moment and help you plan your Kansas City vacation with a road trip. RV’s offer you the most accommodating and convenient was to travel. It’s great that the kids have their own space. The worst part about taking a vacation with kids is usually the time that you are spending in the car. One of them always seems to pass the time by taunting the other. And then the tables reverse and all mayhem breaks out. When you are in the RV this problem is minimized and it’s great. I am not saying that there will not be any sort of fighting at all but it will be drastically cut down to a minimum. It also does help depending on how far you live from Kansas City that you rent an RV that includes DVD players that will also help keep the children from fighting. They can watch movies and they can even hook up one of their video gaming systems, such as Xbox or Playstation.

 

When you are planning your Kansas City vacation it’s important that you leave yourself some time for traveling you don’t want to rush right to a campsite when you are hitting the road with an RV. But you also want to leave yourself time to soak up all of the wonderful things that Kansas City has to offer. Such as restaurants, various parks, great places to enjoy amazing entertainment. There is nothing like it. The history in this city will blow your mind. So this is why its very important that you be sure to stay in Kansas City as long as you can.

 

While you are visiting this wonder city that is often referred to as the “Cowtown”, has great food and you will be kicking yourself if you don’t try some of this cities amazing food.

 

Alright let’s just take a look at some of the essentials that you will need when you are packing for your Kansas City vacation. First of course is going to be ton’s of movies and games to keep those darn kids entertained. Since your RV is going to contain a kitchen with cabinets, and a bathroom and shower as well it’s important that you do a good shopping before you leave. Stock the kitchen with quick foods, and the bathroom with all of the essential needs.

 

There are so many campgrounds and RV parks around the United States so you can find. You can do a simple search online and find what RV parks are going to be on your way to Kansas City. It’s easy to figure out and map your entire trip right on the internet.  Doing this allows you a much smoother and safer vacation, having a plan makes it much more possible to fit many more things into your vacation. But don’t get to crazy if everything doesn’t go according to your plan there is always times when you find something that you didn’t know about and it would be much more exciting then what you thought.

• 2007-Jul-26 - Kansas City Restaurants

Kansas City has many wonderful restaurants and many of them offer you different types of food, wines and spirits, and atmosphere. There are so many Kansas City restaurants that you can enjoy when you visit this wonderful city. Many of them are so good that you will probably even continue talking about many of them well after your vacation is over.

 

Let’s take a look at a few of the best local Kansas City restaurants:

 

LC's Barbecue

If you believe that the messier you get the better the food, then get ready to roll up your sleeves and be ready to get real messy here. LC’s BBQ is the absolute best BBQ places around. It’s a great family place, so make sure you bring the kids, and it’s prices are extremely reasonable. This place is known for having the best beans, maybe even the best beans on earth.

 

Just make sure that you have extra napkins on the table before you start eating, because you will definitely need them. There is nothing like a good BBQ dinner Kansas style.

 

Plaza III

This well established steak restaurant has been around since 1963, so that alone says a lot about them. This is a great place to come if you are looking for a romantic night out with your loved one. The elegant atmosphere, and live music offers you the best night for you and your loved one looking to get reacquainted. There’s even a dance floor that you can enjoy after your dinner.

 

Just because Plaza III is known for their steak doesn’t mean you won’t find some other amazing dishes here, they have a full menu, and award-winning wine list. You will find something to your liking with no problem at all.

 

I was especially surprised at the amazing service that Plaza III’s had to offer, they honestly didn’t miss a thing. My favorite appetizer at this restaurant has got to be hands down the Omaha Appetizer, it’s 12 oz Prime Fillet cube, with cold grilled giant shrimp (for my husband). Every part of our mean from the app’s to desert is always great. Do me a favor though, make sure that you try your best to save room for dessert, you don’t want to miss out.

 

Both my husband and myself simply can’t get enough of this exceptional steak restaurant. It’s unfortunate that we don’t one in our hometown. I haven’t been there in a few months now and I think that I am well over due for one of their steaks.

 

Peppercorn Duck Club

Peppercorn Duck Club is another amazing upscale restaurant. The food is amazing, and the service is absolutely superb. You can expect to have more then one server waiting on you, so you never have to worry that you are going to be sitting for very long without something that you need – you have a food waiter, and a wine waiter. It’s a wonderful experience.

 

This is an awesome place to go for your anniversary or any other special occasion, you will not be disappointed with the Peppercorn Duck Club food, service or atmosphere.

 

These are just a few of the many amazing restaurants in Kansas City. This city feature’s thousands of restaurants that you will have no problem finding the food style that you are in the mood for at that moment – American, Italian, and even Asian. There is no lack of culture here. The next time you are in Kansas City whether it’s for a business trip, to visit family or to go gambling at the casino’s you must test out these three restaurants, you will be glad that you did.
