Let's Dish: Oyster bar coming to KC + Northland comfort food picks

Editor’s note: The following is from the Let’s Dish newsletter from KC Food Insider Katelyn Umholtz, published weekly on Wednesdays.

Oysters + Bubbles in KC A raw bar, a variety of sparkling wines and martinis? Sounds like a party to me. That’s what Brandon Hayden wants The Shuckers Union to be — a stop before a show, a nightcap after dinner, or whatever reason you may have to celebrate with oysters from New

The inaugural season of Riverside’s new concert venue just wrapped up and in the eyes of Live Nation, it was a huge success. Andrew Newport, regional vice president of Venue Operations at Live Nation, and Dave Gerardi, market president of Missouri at Live Nation, met with The Star to discuss the first year of Morton Amphitheater , the 16,000-capacity concert venue that opened in June. Newport and Gerardi said that with the 43 concerts, the Riverside venue — with artists ranging from Kesha , Pitbull and Guns ‘N Roses to Dave Matthews Band , Bryson Tiller and Chris Stapleton they sold over 400,000 tickets . Many of these shows sold out according to their data, and it’s helping shape what concertgoers can expect in 2027. Gerardi said that Kansas City has historically been a great market for country music, with Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn selling out and high attendance for Tyler Childers, Tim McGraw, Thomas Rhett and Luke Bryan. He was surprised at the crowd numbers for electronic artists like Rüfüs Du Sol, Empire of the Sun and Tape B & Levity. Tiller, the trap-infused R&B star selling out the venue also came as a surprise.

Is the owner of United Market at Linwood a grocery whisperer? He's opening No. 2

It might be becoming a thing. The guy who took over the former Sun Fresh in the Linwood Shopping Center to save a grocery store for East Side Kansas City residents in the Prospect corridor might have a knack for turning around urban markets. We’ll see, because that guy, Anthony Estrada , just took on a new challenge: managing another grocery store in what used to be The Merc Co+op, a community-owned market in Kansas City, Kansas. It’s a project Estrada said he’s been working toward for more than a year. And now it looks like he may be only two or three months away from opening what will be his second urban grocery store. It will be a United Market, just like the store he opened in May at 31st Street and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City. The Kansas store will have the same logo as the Linwood Shopping Center store — hands cupping a piece of fruit — and share the same color scheme, so he is going for a recognizable look. Like the United Market on the Missouri side, the KCK market will be owned and subsidized by the local government. Estrada has the management contract, charging

Beloved mural on Southwest Boulevard honoring KC Mexican community gets new look

In 1991, a handful of young Kansas City artists painted a mural on the long, brick wall of a self-storage company on busy Southwest Boulevard. Their artwork paid homage to the history, culture and pride of the Mexican-American community of Kansas City’s Westside. The public art project made news. It was led by a 23-year-old Kansas City Art Institute student who grew up in the neighborhood, the same woman who now, 35 years later, is spearheading the transformation of the wall — all 683 feet of it. For Jenny Mendez and a new group of artists, the Celebration of Youth Mural Project is about more than just putting paint on a wall. “I just hope that families and the community see it as something positive and see it as something that, even though they might have been attached to what was there before, ... as in everything it’s OK if it’s reborn, we redo it, we replenish it to make sure we tell a new story,” said Mendez. “I think as artists that’s probably the biggest part of it. We want to reflect things that are positive in the world and its neighborhood community ... they want to leave their
