A Chicago native picks her three favorite Windy City-style pies in KC
Traditional Chicago-style deep dish pizza is its own type of food science. A flaky, buttery, biscuit-like crust lines the bottom of the pan. Cheese hides the toppings, and red sauce hides the cheese—the cheese is buried below the sauce so that it doesn’t get scorched by the long bake required to cook a cake-thick crust. As a Chicagoland native, I can say with authority that Third Coast in Lenexa (7820 Quivira Road, Lenexa) makes a very solid deep dish pizza. The makeup of the pies is comparable to Chicago tourist trap Lou Malnati’s, but the slices hold themselves up way better, in my opinion, not falling to the sag and spoon-able soupiness that often comes with the deep dish territory. The deeper the pie, the more simple I keep the toppings, so I just stick with pepperoni here and let the crust do the talking.

Amigos Locos brings fresh ‘Midwest Mexican’ dining
Michelle Rodriguez got her golden ticket and fulfilled her dream of starting a Mexican restaurant. Huston Hospitality owner Scott Huston brought her into the fold and let her work to bring a new dining experience to her hometown. "A golden ticket like Willy Wonka," Rodriguez said. "It was really surreal, just like seeing it and like seeing people eating the food and like seeing my logo on that really big wall. It was really surreal." Earlier in October, Amigos Locos , located at 4745 NW Hunters Ridge Circle , launched. Rodriguez said working with Huston on the project was amazing. "Creating a Mexican bar and grill has always been my dream," Rodriguez said. "I grew up here in Topeka. So, I just knew that there was a love for Midwest Mexican food; if that's a thing."
