Home Run Inn Pizza from Chicago.
Replace all the Chipotles with Illegal Pete's from Denver.
IN-N-OUT Burger!! But if we're talking high end dining, I wish we had a Momofuku so I could try it.
WHATABURGER, White Castle, In and Out Burger, Sbarro, TCBY Frozen Yogurt and a Dunkin Donuts North of the River! :)
Prince's Hot Chicken
In-N-Out and El Pollo Loco. Voodoo Doughnuts are really over-hyped, aside from the maple bacon. One of the few things I don't miss about living in Portland.
In and Out Burger
Original Pancake House, huge portions and some great pancakes
Hahaha what a bunch of tools.
Boston Lobster Feast!
4 Sons Texas Hot Lunch from Kane, Pennsylvania. Hot dogs with a Greek chili sauce.
Leo's Diner from Omaha, Nebraska.
But there are a few local restaurants that I would love to see open locations in Brookside: El Camino Real, Leo's Pizza and In-A-Tub!!!
Two that have prompted (unsuccessful) discussions about opening up shop in downtown Parkville: Lincoln Cafe in Mt. Vernon, IA and Iron Barley in St. Louis.
Mellow Mushroom. They're all around us, but none in Missouri!
WHATABURGER!
I only listen to KKFI for the musical programs, and they excel at that.
Commercial radio sucks putty balls.
Being a Libertarian, its hard for me to stay tuned for very long when the left-leaning political programs come on, unless its a topic I take to heart.
Since 90.9 the Bridge has announced it will now focus on more music programs, as well as get a more powerful transmitter (thanks to the recent PBS acquisition), KKFI will soon have some serious competition in the music category around town. A stronger signal for 90.9 will put them on a lot of radios in KKFI's turf that currently cant pull their signal.
I wonder if anyone at KKFI has crunched the numbers and pounded out the percentages to find out whether or not its the music, or the public affairs programming that brings in the most revenue when it comes to deciding what type of show to fill an opening with?
Maybe Charles Ferruza will join the discussion and provide a little insight.
Great french fries...the old fashioned fat ones, and a lot of them! Try the meatball sub.
I grew up on Taco Via, and still love it. The sauce is the (not so) secret: it's spicy and peppery and I can drink it straight. But the tacos, nachos and tostadas are good even without sauce. The taco meat is seasoned nicely, the tostadas are a messy treat, and the crispy flat nachos, covered with melted cheese, sauce and diced jalepenos, are to die for. That is, when everything comes out hot. The best time for that is probably the lunch hour. But even when it comes out lukewarm, a generous slathering of that delicious sauce makes it very tasty anyway. Bad Taco Via is better than good Taco Bell any day.
I haven't heard anyone mention the old Shawnee (Quivira Plaza) location yet, which was where I got hooked on Taco Via 30+ years ago. Now the only worthwhile Taco Via is the 95th and Antioch location. The others shove Christianity in your face with Ten Commandments placemats, religious music, etc.
Pro tip: Amigos in Kansas City, KS has some Taco Via-like items on their menu, if you're ever in the area.
Tax evasion will get everybody. Piss poor owners who didn't care about anybody but the immediate dollar. Glad to see it is closed.
Not Surprised one bit. Bad Ownership.
Re: “Which out-of-town restaurant would you lobby to bring to KC?”
Whataburger. Love that place.
