My kind of dinner

03/12/2023

We barely scratched the surface on the show!

Who said you can only try one item off the menu? These Kansas City restaurants — spanning Korean, tapas and others cuisines — encourage ordering big dishes for the table, family-style, or picking a handful of small plates and passing them around.

Love having chunks of turkey in the freezer leftover from Thanksgiving. Curry is perfect on a damp, chilly day like today. Homemade tomato chutney from our summer tomato haul provides a touch of sweetness to offset the spiciness.

Enjoyed our pre-theatre dinner at . And the happy hour portion of steak frites was the perfect size as it allowed us to also have the grilled octopus with pistachio mole verde. It was delicious but unfortunately in my haste to try it I didn’t take a very good picture of it. Too blurry to share. The place was packed when we walked in at 5:30!
