Milk & Honey has the best I've had in KC. http://milkandhoneykc.com/
you will think different when nude pics of your children start showing up on porno web sites
Shopping at Whole Foods is trendy; not a practical lifestyle. If I wanted a peace sign bag, Toms shoes, a sun hat, and soy 'chicken' salad I'd definitely head out there; but I shop at HEALTH food stores for HEALTH...not because it's cool. Yes, Natural Grocers is smaller but maintains strong standards on what is allowed in their store. I'm thankful there's not a showcase of soy-filled, sugar-overloaded, and processed lunch options. WF brand (365) gets a lot of their stuff from China and stamps organic on the cover. Cheap business; ridiculous prices taking advantage of their customers. And, they pride themselves on loving 'local' but nearly 2/3 of their produce is from a different country and/or conventional. My local Kroger store has more organics than WF. They have gotten too big for their own good and what the company was built on. If health is genuinely a concern for you and you actually did some research on the two then Natural Grocers products, morals, and price BY FAR exceed.
Those of you that are bashing the episode and think it was down on Kansas City are missing the best point of the entire show.
Check out some of the St. Louis blogs..those people are LIVID that Bourdain has never come to their city and that he has snubbed them for trips to KC and to the Ozarks.
I don't care even if he had compared the KC dining experience with rooting in garbage...this is a great win for KC when it makes the people in the east side of the state so enraged!!!! YESSS
We're all art critics at heart. We know what we like, whether anyone else does or not. The difference between an art critic and an ignorant, sexually repressed, morally self-righteous bigot is that art critics don't try to ban what they don't like.
I used to think this was a free country where we didn't punish the innocent for the transgressions of the guilty.
Now I get it. If the police were to actually do their jobs, donut shops could go out of business.
"This is a report of the annual meeting of the Ankh-Morpork Caged Birds Society," she said. "They're just ordinary people who breed canaries and things as a hobby. Their chairman lives next door to me, which is why he gave me this. This stuff is important to him! My goodness, but it's dull. It's all about Best of Breed and some changes in the show rules about parrots which they argued about for two hours.
"But the people who were arguing were people who mostly spend their day mincing meat or sawing wood and basically leading little lives that are controlled by other people, do you see? They've got no say in who runs the city but they can damn well see to it that cockatoos aren't lumped in with parrots."
~ Terry Pratchett, in "The Truth"
I am an artist. I took classes for life drawings and paintings. The idea to censor or destroy or remove a statue or a painting or drawing because it is "obscene" is obscene in itself. Where do we draw the line? It is like a book that someone wants out because it is "obscene." I don't like the statue but I understand it. It had nothing to do with sex. (Ooo. Did I say a bad word?) I took my classes and I had to learn the bones and the muscles before I had to draw humans who just happened to be naked. The artist had to learn it also in order to create the statue. If your children think that the human body is something "nasty," ugly, evil, obscene or porn, then your children will look for the skin mags for excitement. Art is subjective. If it were a man as subject of the statue, we probably wouldn't even be talking about it unless it was a nude. One of the great paintings in the Vatican had a pope that had another artist paint little aprons because, I think Michelangelo, had painted naked people. The philistines are always at the gate. Looks like this Chris guy is a philistine. His statement about his kids are athletes. Not scholars, not artists, not humanitarians but jocks. So he must have been a jock too. The statue does not degrade women. It is a statement on the modern life. Some of the masterpieces were shocking in its day. Music as well. If you are thinking that the statue is about sex, get you mind out of the gutter. Take a course on art appreciation. I got the statue. I don't like it but that is a personal opinion. Fight the philistines for they are at the gate!
BLOOM is the absolutely BEST Bakery in the city. River Market, completely amazing. Beats any of these bakeries mentioned.
"open from 8:56 a.m. to 8:04 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9:56 a.m. to 6:06 p.m. on Sunday."
Good god. You all must be from Kansas to be so literal. IT's fun and quirky. It's Colorado style. Get a sense of humor.
Bo Ling's used to be my hands down favorite here in KC. Zona Rosa, 95th street, 91st and Metcalf, 135th and Metcalf, are all hit and miss with consistency of quality anymore and friendliness of staff. The worst, the 95th and Metcalf location. I don't care what your decore is. If your quality of food isn't consistent and your staff isn't friendly, I'm not going to visit you and pay twice the amount for a dish that I can get elsewhere.
Those eyes make her look like a spooked horse! I've seen crazy in the barns, now we see it in art critics!
Okay, how do I remove my stupid comment, now that I realize that the bluring was from kctv5, not the article...
Funny that the article argues against censorship of the statue, then blurs the close up of the boobs.
Did you know the police were ORDERED to "COLLABORATE" with the scamera vendor in redoing the original report that SHOWED MORE ACCIDENTS!

My father grew up on a small farm in northwest Missouri. After serving in the Army Air Corps during WWII, he was able to use the GI Bill to complete his bachelor’s degree at the University of Missouri, stay on to get a master’s degree, and eventually become a professor of Agricultural Economics.
I wish he had been alive last year when the University of Missouri Press published my first book, The American Essay in the American Century. He would have been proud.
Today, however, he would be outraged to hear his alma mater is shutting down its press. He published with university presses and knew how essential their work is to scholars, teachers and students. He also knew how important the Press’s many books on Missouri writers, culture, landscape, and heritage are to his home state.
Dad was a lifelong Mizzou football fan, but I know he would question the priorities of a university system that shuts down its press to save (according to the University’s press release) a $400,000 annual subsidy, while paying its head football coach $2.7 million each year.
The University says it plans to institute a “new business model” of “scholarly communication” in which “[m]uch editorial work would be done by students.” I direct a publishing and editing program at Florida State University and know how important publishing internships are to our students, but I believe a model based on unpaid student interns is an insult the ten professional staff members who yesterday were given their notice.
When I travel for business, I often eat out alone. But I find it boring to just eat and not have anyone to talk to, so I don't do it when I have a choice.

This is now Pitch story number 7 on Air Guitar Eric Mellon, who just happens to be affiliated with the Pitch.
So brave by taking a stand against something so popular. So brave.
I can't wait for the 10 page feature next time the Record Bar holds an air guitar contest. It's Ironic, don't ya see?
Re: “God hates ... air guitar? Mean Melin and friends jam to Van Halen among Westboro Baptist Church protesters”
Wow. Justin, i hope you keep writing about air guitar because obviously, you have a secret admirer that keeps reading and counting them all haha. God forbid the Pitch writes something that happens in Kansas City that isnt local music or bar scenes.
