I have a confession. The first time I ever had Eggs Benedict was... a mere month ago. I have no idea why it took me so long to try this brunch staple, perhaps it was a vague uncertainty of hollandaise sauce, but whatever it was, it is now nothing but regret. Hatch in Oklahoma City...

National Beer Day – A Kansas City Crossroads Beer Guide
I consider myself very fortunate to live in the Crossroads Arts District of downtown Kansas City, and one of the main reasons is beer. And lots of it.

National Meatball Day – Lunch at Meatball District on 39th Street

Crepe Day – Brunch at Chez Elle in Kansas City’s Westside
I don't consider myself to be much of a crepe connoisseur.

So, I decided to venture out and try some from... Continue Reading →

National Tequila Day – Margs at Teocalí
How fitting that National Tequila Day would fall on a Monday. I naturally used this occasion to drag all my friends out to one of my new favorite Mexican spots in KC, Teocalí on Holmes just a mile outside of downtown.

National French Fry Day – Dinner at Tay’s Burger Shack in North Kansas City
As French fries are one of my favorites food groups (i.e. curly, waffle, steak, etc.), I was having trouble choosing a favorite to feature today, so I decided it would be the perfect time to try something new. Based on a friend's recommendation, our group headed up to North Kansas City (which we should really... Continue Reading →

I spent Chocolate Day hitting up two of my favorite local chocolatiers in the Crossroads Arts District of downtown Kansas City: Christopher Elbow Chocolates and Bizz & Weezy Confections.
