• Goodbye Yahooz, Hello Coyote Grill

  It's official: Before the end of this month, the PB&J "cowboy" restaurant, Yahooz, in Leawood's Town Center, will be known under a different, but familiar name.

The restaurant will close for a few days to re-vamp the interior, remove all vestiges of the Yahoo brand, and re-open in mid-February as the Coyote Grill. If the name&

• Closed: The Coyote Grill

  The coyote howls no more in Leawood​Well, it was a good try. Looking for a great idea to beef up profits at Yahooz, their Leawood "cowboy restaurant," PB&J restaurant group owners Paul Khoury and Bill Crooks closed the venue earlier this year and quickly re-invented the location as a new Coyote Grill. The Coyote Grill was a popular casual dining spot serving Southwestern fare at the now-razed Mission Center. It was an early success for Khoury and Crooks, so the idea of
