Chicken restaurant inside a KC brewery has closed. What's next for the concept?

A restaurant known for its fried chicken has closed its operations inside a Kansas City brewery, but according to a social media post, it may not be the end of the business. Vine Street Chicken Co. , which served chicken wings, tenders and sandwiches, opened its restaurant inside Vine Street Brewing Co. (2010 Vine St.) in February and had hoped it could serve locals and visitors during the World Cup festivities in Kansas City this summer. But as of Nov. 7, Vine Street Chicken has flown the coop and left the brewery. “Thank you, Kansas City! Vine Street Chicken opened as an amenity for Vine Street Brewing Company, to help support KC during the 2026 World Cup,” the statement said on Instagram. “Our final day was Nov. 7.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vine Street Chicken (@vinestreetchicken) Vine Street Brewing co-founder and KC musician Kemet Coleman confirmed the departure of the chicken pop-up over text message. Vine Street Chicken’s closure, he said, will not impact normal operations at Vine Street Brewing. For now, there is no food vendor at the site, but guests can bring their own food to pair with Vine Street’s beers. “As the

Popular JoCo doughnut shop opens first Kansas City spot, with drive-thru, patio & more

For the past 50 years, Mr. D’s has served coffee and doughnuts in the Kansas City area, though only in Johnson County up to this point. As of this week, it’s expanded its footprint to include its first location on the Missouri side — and the first one with a drive-thru, too. Mr. D’s has opened its third location (fourth, if you include its spot inside AdventHealth in Lenexa) at 2001 W. Pennsylvania Ave. in the Crossroads. The longtime shop is finally giving KCMO a taste of what Kansans have been devouring for half a decade. It took over a 10,000 square-foot building next to the highway, which was formerly a Pinnacle Imports wine shop. Owner Johnny Chen said his team wanted to utilize as much of the larger space as possible. “We knocked down almost half of it to convert it into a drive-thru, which is all covered, and a patio,” he explained. Even after cutting through the building, this is Mr. D’s biggest spot yet. Chen and his wife, Boggie Otgonbayar, have owned Mr. D’s for the past seven years. In that time, they’ve opened a spot in the Lenexa Public Market and brought their doughnuts to shops

In Kansas City, Missouri Republicans look to rebound from a year of losses

After Missouri Republicans faced a series of crushing defeats in the midterm elections, the party’s incoming class of senators met near downtown Kansas City to discuss their priorities moving forward. The three-day retreat began on Monday with a reception in the evening, a full day of meetings on Tuesday that included a visit from the governor and a quick breakfast on Wednesday before senators returned to their home districts. Sen. Kurtis Gregory, a Marshall Republican, left the event with a feeling that senate Republicans were broadly aligned in their goals for the upcoming legislative session, which begins on Jan. 6. “Let’s say united for the most part,” Gregory said. “We all want to do certain things and we all have our ideas. It’s going to be a matter of figuring a way to make all of those mesh.” Republicans are seeking to regain their footing after Democratic wins chipped away at their supermajority – a two-thirds hold on both chambers of the General Assembly. However, the party still holds firm majorities in both chambers and every statewide office. Republicans also had a disastrous year for ballot measures as voters shot down a plan to eliminate the income tax with Amendment
