Food pics by restaurant

There are two: One in Independence and one in Olathe.

 

Thank you VMB for suggesting Bavette's in so many steak threads. The chicago ribeye was fantastic, as were the buttery mashed potatoes! Sorry for the dark photos, but that's the ambiance there.

 

Drunken Monkey milkshake (with booze) from Holatein's at The Cosmo.

 

My bride and minions treated me to a taste of home with a Father’s Day visit to Big Dog’s Draft House on Rancho.

The cheese curds and bratwurst were excellent—and good practice for our upcoming trip to WI.

Partage 7 course tasting menu.

Manhattan (probably a mistake after video poker at sports book bar at Mandalay before dinner and why I can’t remember all the dishes).

Highlight was the quail and farro salad. Wagyu and dessert were also great.

 

L’Atelier Joel Robuchon

Snapper ceviche and Dover sole. Both 5 stars delicious.

 

We were near W Charleston & Jones and hungry so we tried Farm Basket for lunch today.









The chicken was good. I’ll try the turkey next time!

They actually take walk ins?
Their motto: we don't give a cluck if you don't like our food!

 

Crepes at Mon Ami Gabi

 

I’ve been slacking on this thread so let’s start fixing that:

Din Tai Fung at Aria:

Spicy noodles, good, not spectacular

Chicken and Korbuta Pork Xiao Long Bao: first trip they were disappointing compared to the reputation, with not enough broth, but this last trip was much better and these really do live up to the hype, I'll chalk the first time up to a fluke



And the definite star of the show twice: spicy wontons, so good that we each got our own order in addition to splitting some XLB

 

Stacked chicken quesadilla & double burger from Grand Lux Cafe in Venetian during happy hour.

 

YUM!!!

 

Al Pastor tacos ($21), enchiladas ($20+), & shrimp fajitas ($30+) from Chayo in the Linq. Also had guac and chips ($15). Everything was delicious, albeit pricey.

 

Our little Bear Dessert @ Xpot (2022)

 

Toro @ Kaiseki Sanga



Breakfast @ Sadelle's Garden Table



Unlimited King Crab Leg's @ Lakeside (F1)



Bouil-Roast @ Palace Station's Oyster Bar

 

don’t second guess.

the best time to have a Manhattan is all the time.

 

Holy $#!+, that would have to be almost a pound of meat in one sitting!

 

Yeah, had alot of walking around to do, so I wanted to keep it light.

Then chased it down with this bad boy...
