  • Now open: Daniel's Bar-B-Q

    Daniel Hipsher may not be a household name in Johnson County, but he means plenty to members of the Kansas City Barbecue Society and people who follow the American Royal. Hipsher's barbecue sauce won first place at the Royal in 2003. He's also relatively well-known just west of the Kansas City area, where he opened Daniel's Bar-B-Q's in Tonganoxie and Lansing. He sold the two locations in 2006 but got the itch to get back in the restaurant game.

    Cafe Sebastienne's Eileen Jones, chef Jennifer Maloney, Janet RossLast night's fundraising event at the Boulevard Brewery was called Four Stars for Lauren because it honored the memory of the late Lauren Chapin -- longtime restaurant critic for the The Kansas City Star -- by raising money for the education of her teenaged daughters. But many stars of Kansas City's culinary community were in attendance for the sellout event. Among them were Café Sebastienne's executive chef Jennifer Malon

  • God hates Kansas

    Watched KMBC Channel 9's coverage of the twister ripping through the prairie near Tonganoxie on Saturday. Johnny Rowlands chased the tornado in Newschopper 9 (and possibly crapped himself after a helluva lightning strike). The tornado charged toward KMBC Reporter Marcus Moore and photographer John Woods, who jumped in a ditch. If you missed it all, let the soothing voices of Larry Moore and Lara Moritz guide you through the destruction.

  • Katie Horner will get you drunk

    Katie HornerPoor Katie Horner. The matriarch of meteorology just wants you to seek shelter -- intermediately! -- with your emergency kit (and there's still time to gather one up before the next rain). But some unappreciative souls want her fired. And some heathens -- we're looking at you Lawerence.com -- want you to use her insightful, motherly weather forecasts to get drunk.Just look at this. The Katie Horner Drinking GameIf Katie's wearing jeans, it's clearly casual day. All players must be in

  • Here's the brain behind the Katie Horner drinking game

    Katie HornerYesterday, I pitied poor Katie Horner and the backlash against the KCTV5 chief meteorologist's often hysterical and overprotective forecasts. I also highlighted a drinking game, which I first saw on Lawrence.com, that is sure to leave you black-out drunk during the next Horner-gasm. Turns out the game is the brainchild of Adam Yarbrough, who posted a comment asking for credit. It's all yours, man. Great game. Earlier this morning, I talked with Yarbrough and he told me that he concoc

  • Concert Review: the Vans Warped Tour 2009

    What with the weather and everything yesterday morning, I wasn't too sure as to whether or not Warped Tour 2009 would be worth attending. The idea of standing in the middle of an amphitheater parking lot all day during a torrential downpour isn't exactly my idea of a perfect summer day. Nick SpacekGallows​However, by the time I hit Tonganoxie on my way out from Lawrence, the sun had begun to peek out and was shining full force by the time I'd made it through the gate and in front of the H

  • Dee Snider to Ride With Bikers For Babies

    Bikers of all kinds, from weekend warriors to die-hards and one-percenters will come together September 20 to help make certain all babies are born healthy. The 15th Annual Kansas City Bikers for Babies, starts with thousands of riders meeting that Sunday at the Kansas Speedway, to set out on a 115-mile route to raise money for the March of Dimes. Surprisingly, this man wants to help babies, not eat them.​Dee Snider, Twisted Sister frontman and Bikers for Babies national spokesperson, wil
