Description

The Castle Café's been cooking since the 1890s. Under countless owners, this storefront eatery has been a gathering place for miners, ranchers, cowboys, drunks, locals, travelers and everyone in between.

But take our word for it: The pan-fried chicken served at Castle Cafe is a damn fine version of... More »

    I love expensive cheeses. The good ones -- cave-aged, smeared in ash, riddled with veins of carefully tended mold, rubbed down by nuns and Italian virgins in towns whose names I can barely pronounce, made from the milk of animals whose teats I... More »

    It Takes Pluck

    Kansas City smells of barbecue, especially on road trips when cash is short and hunger's high, and the aroma just intensifies until there's nothing you can do but stop at a roadside stand and get a bag of bones that will last you through... More »
