This Old-School Missouri Supper Club Has Been Hand-Cutting Steaks Since 1946

A salad named for the year 1957 still lands on tables at one Missouri steakhouse, and people keep ordering it by name. I love when a menu carries its own birthday like that. The prime rib gets talked about more than anything else here. Carrot cake comes in a strong second, which tells you folks save room.

Mice droppings on shelves, gnats under sink: Latest KC-area restaurant inspections

From moldy food on grocery displays to roaches under a soda machine, health inspectors in Missouri and Kansas found numerous violations at Kansas City-area restaurants last week. Dining establishments like sit-down restaurants, drive-thrus, gas stations and grocery stores are required to get food inspections, and governments have to release those inspections to the public. In Kansas City and Independence, each city’s health department enforces the food code while in Kansas, the state’s Department of Agriculture handles inspections. The lower the number of violations, the better. Most restaurants correct violations at the time of the original inspection or shortly after. The full inspections show how each establishment has corrected or is working to correct any remaining violations. They are available for Kansas City at inspectionsonline.us/foodsafety/mousakansascity/search.htm and Johnson and Wyandotte counties at portal.kda.ks.gov/Food/FoodInspectionSearch. Here are the restaurants in Kansas City, Johnson and Wyandotte Counties that received seven or more priority and priority foundation violations from Oct. 25-31. No eateries in Independence met the threshold during this time period. Midtown Market-Desi Dhaba 3967 Main St. Nine violations found during Oct. 26 inspection Roaches were seen on a wall, while dead roaches were seen in paper towel dispenser. An employee was seen cutting cilantro

USA Today list ranks the best of Kansas City BBQ. Which joint is No. 1?

Declaring the very best version of Kansas City barbecue coming out of the many beloved joints in the metro area is often a futile and controversial task — it depends on one’s preference and the day and time a diner goes to a restaurant, and you best be prepared to defend it. But each year, publications, influencers and anyone online with an opinion tackle the scary job of ranking our barbecue and sharing their findings. USA Today, the national media company that owns newspapers across the country, including in Missouri and Kansas, published the 2026 readers’ choice list of 10 best Kansas City-style BBQ restaurants on Oct. 28. Last year the publication’s readers voted, strangely, to award a non-Kansas City joint (Stateline Road Smokehouse in Napa, California) with the No. 1 spot on a Kansas City BBQ list — though to be fair, owner Darryl Bell is originally from Kansas City. But it seems those readers righted their wrongs, with a Kansas City-based barbecue restaurant earning the most votes to claim the top spot. That best barbecue restaurant is Slap’s BBQ , a KC spot that’s often considered one of the best to ‘cue and has produced a loyal following

This Kansas City chef who runs a gourmet butcher shop loves gizzards and burgers

Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, the best food holiday on the calendar. It’s also chef Sarah Nelson’s favorite holiday. This is despite the fact that she is put to work on Thanksgiving, given her skill set. “I actually negotiated with my family this year a way for us to do just family gatherings on Thanksgiving, and then do an actual sit-down meal on Black Friday so I can actually enjoy it and not try to be catching up with family while I’m doing all the food,” Nelson said. The holiday is a favorite, she said, because it brings all the comfort foods she enjoys onto the table for one glorious day of gorging. She happens to have access to some of those foods, given that she runs a butcher shop and gourmet grocery store in the Northland with her husband, Louis Guerrieri, the duo that also used to run the Ombra restaurant before it closed in late 2024. Carne Diem just celebrated its second anniversary of being open in the Village at Briarcliff, providing its customers a whole-animal butchery of Missouri-sourced meats like Angus beef, lamb, duck and more. What it means to be a whole animal butchery is to
