I’m back, baby. My apologies for ghosting on all five of my readers. I took a lil three year hiatus from the blogosphere to get my MBA so that I could come back here and keep writing about food, but with more student debt than before. But now that that’s done, I have more free... Continue Reading →
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.

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

What could be more fitting for the first day of summer? I decided I wanted to celebrate with something a little extra special, so I set out in search of something more than just your basic root beer float. Glacé Artisan Ice Cream on the Plaza had exactly what I was looking for: a Salted... Continue Reading →

When I saw that International Picnic Day and International Sushi Day fell on the same day, I was having a hard time deciding which I was going to celebrate. Then I thought, why not both? And so a sushi picnic was born. While there are a number of good sushi places in town, I didn't... Continue Reading →
