Just a short distance from Kansas City�s upscale Country Club Plaza, replete with fancy restaurants and caf�s, you can drop yourself smack dab into a renowned dive, called Westport Flea Market Bar and Grill.

We were first drawn to Meshuggah Bagels by the name. We know�and crave�New York-style water bagels. We thought, was someone, um, crazy enough to open a bagel place in the Midwest and claim it could take us home?

We recently reviewed an Italian restaurant with sugo on the menu, accompanying many of the pasta dishes. What is sugo? Very simply, it's sauce.

When a restaurant has a memorial bench placed out front, you know there�s a story. That�s what we found at Cascone�s in Kansas City, MO while passing through what�s usually called �flyover land.�

Here�s one you haven�t seen before: a review of a restaurant that is closed. Obviously, it�s not because we can suggest you go there, even though we really liked the food and they got great reviews from customers. It�s because theirs was a restaurant dream that came to life and then died.

The Big Biscuit is one of those specialty restaurants (with several locations, mostly in the Kansas City area) that hang their hat on one thing, which in this case is a decent sized biscuit. They called them "award-winning biscuits." While I'm not sure who hands out that kind of award, it's fine - I'd give them one for their biscuits, which were fluffy and delicious.

Lunch is a dying art�except at the holidays. Whether we are packing in as many activities as possible, or slowing things down enough (once the decorating and shopping are done) to take a break, it seems the lunch crowd picks up just a bit. It was evident at Adriana's on the Hill. We've been there when they were busy (which is almost always), but it seems holiday appetites were in full swing.

Berry's has figured out how to produce good food in large quantities and not make it feel like a buffet. There is also a steady stream of Christian music, with declarations of faith scattered throughout the building, lending to the family atmosphere. Maybe it's the enamelware or the tin drink cups, or maybe it's the helpful servers. Or maybe it's just good food, perfect for a stop on your way further south to the Gulf.
