Peterson tells Fat City that he had never committed to a long-term position at Hickok's Bar & Grill, owned by veteran restaurateur Forbes Cross.
"I was under contract for three months to do the menu, create the recipes, and to hire and train the kitchen staff," Peterson says. "Now that the contract is up, I'm in the process of looking for a location for my own restaurant."

I find it odd that Forbes restaurant in Lee's Summit catches on fire, just before he opens a new restaurant...
Still Michael's menu, but he is not there to execute it.
It's about time that cat opened his own place...every place he touches has awesome food, but it seems that the people he creates menus for are a little green when it comes to restaurant ownership. I wish him nothing but the best and I cannot wait to try his new concept...Good Luck to you Michael Peterson
I've been real happy with the food each trip I've had. I hope it continues to succeed, and I hope to see the market keep growing with unique food destinations that aren't too "chainy"
Hope that it doesn't derail Hickok's before it gets going. The menu looks great, walked by it the other day and the food looked great through the window. I've been meaning to eat there very soon.
