Leawood, KS
You know how you were talking the other day about how cool it is to live down by the Plaza? Just walk down the street, and there's California Pizza Kitchen, you said. What's out there in JoCo? you asked. God, I can't believe I forgot about Dean & DeLuca. Sure, it's a chain, and it's out of NYC. But out of curiosity, where do you go when you're on the Plaza and you want some chicken tortilla soup and a potpie to go? Panera? Puh-leeze. Does anyone else offer made-to-order sandwiches with 12 meats, eight cheeses and a dozen breads? No? Oh, and where do you go for party appetizers, Costco? That's so quaint! Did you know that D&D has a whole department called "Caviar, Foie Gras & Charcuterie"? Where else do the employees even know what charcuterie means?
