This is an obvious top choice for any KC food list. The most popular barbecue restaurants are all worth sampling at least once - that way you can find your favorite and pick a side in the endless debate of who is best.
The cheese slipper is a limited item that's available only at Fervere. There's nothing better than freshly baked bread covered in cheese and plenty of toppings.
Christopher Elbow makes chocolates that are on the pricey side, but very much worth the experience. Each one holds a flavor you've probably never tried before. It does help that they go on sale for First Fridays at $1 apiece. Yes, that's the sale price!
Joe's has been named America's best barbecue joint, but that doesn't mean you should only try their meats. The Z-Man is a wonderful creation that brings onion rings and cheese into the mix, and soon you'll be falling in love and trying to make them at home.
Winstead's is our favorite diner, and there's nothing better than a giant milkshake named after the tallest buildings. Of course, if milkshakes aren't your style, don't leave without one of their amazing cherry limeades.
Everyone knows that Stroud's has amazing fried chicken, but they also have the best cinnamon rolls you'll find around here. They're strangely addictive, and I recommend you order extras to take home with you.
Everyone says that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but who wants to wake up that early if we don't have to? Of course, by then, most restaurants aren't serving breakfast anymore. Well, that's where brunch comes in! These restaurants have all sorts of brunch items to offer, from fancy to farmhouse. Come check them out, and stop by some morning (or afternoon, of course).
