Groundhouse Coffee owners are selling their Gardner cafe

The owners of Groundhouse Coffee in Gardner have announced they’re selling, and they hope the new owners will preserve it as a space for local community connections. On Oct. 21, Keith Davenport announced that he and his wife, Allison Davenport, are putting the coffee shop on the market, listed at $425,000. The oldest of his four kids is getting ready to go to college in a couple of years, and Davenport said this has set him up for a transitional period in his life.

The ‘barbecue guru' is coming to Kansas City. Here's his food itinerary

When you’re a barbecue expert, Kansas City would indisputably become a repeated stop for research and dining. Steven Raichlen has spent decades teaching people how to better grill their meats, through cookbooks and food writing (most famously “The Barbecue Bible”), and he’s also studied barbecue through reading and traveling. He’s been called the “barbecue guru” and his personal favorite, the “Shakespeare of barbecue.” Raichlen is also a Barbecue Hall of Fame inductee, which took place right here in Kansas City and where he was honored the same year as KC BBQ legend Paul Kirk. His barbecue work — a dream job for any Kansas Citian — has taken this Martha’s Vineyard resident to Japan’s yakitori parlors and even France, where they cook mussels using dry pine needles and live fire. The job has also taken him back and again to the “Big Four” of barbecue in the U.S., also part of the “barbecue belt”: Texas, the Carolinas, Memphis and Kansas City. “(Kansas City) is the most ecumenical of all the great barbecue cities,” Raichlen said. “Brisket is a big deal in Kansas City. Ribs are a big deal in Kansas City. Barbecued chicken is a big deal in Kansas City.”

Fruit flies, mold on surfaces: Latest Kansas City-area restaurant inspections

From items being stored in handwashing sinks to employees not knowing how to prevent foodborne diseases, health inspectors in Missouri and Kansas found numerous violations at Kansas City-area restaurants last week. Dining establishments such as 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 and Johnson County that received seven or more critical or priority and priority foundation ​violations from Oct. 12-18. No restaurants in Wyandotte County met the criteria during this timeframe. Jose Pepper’s 13770 S. Black Bob Road, Olathe 13 priority and priority foundation violations found during a joint inspection on Oct. 13 The regional Mexican chain restaurant
