| Where was this legendary supper club? |
Kansas City has a long tradition of mixing food and live entertainment. It has jazz clubs like Jardine's and one of the most successful dinner theater operations in the country, the New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park. In this week's contest, we throw in a little history to see who can recall some of the more iconic venues in Kansas City's past.
The first commenter to correctly guess all five questions by midnight on Thursday, April 1, will win a super-groovy vintage cookbook, Singers & Swingers in the Kitchen.
1) What was the name of the combination restaurant-and-club in Waldo where local musical legends Tim Whitmer and David Basse became stars?
| This club was the cat's meow in its day! |
3) If you didn't like the featured entertainment at this popular venue of the 1970s and '80s, you could still eat a lot. What was the name of this long-closed attraction?
4) What was the name of the now-gone Plaza restaurant where the Red Onion Jazz Babies played each week?
5) What was the name of restaurateur Victor Fontana's swanky 1970s disco-restaurant in Westport?

I saw Jerry Lee Lewis circa 1982 at the Gold Buffet's Celebrity Room. Great show!

You're very close, John.
Here's a clue, ladies and gents, the Celebrity Room was located IN the old Gold Buffet and is not the correct answer to Question #2. It was not in downtown Kansas City.
Hint: Fried chicken, y'all!
Bob: You had one correct answer.
Karen: You got three out of five.
Keep trying, folks!
