Hi Myron, Guess I better add my 2¢ worth... at least my favorite spots: Stroud's : If you want home town, mid west style pan fried chicken, chops or catfish and lots of mashed potatoes and gravy with a big plate of cinnamon rolls, you gotta go to Stroud's. Gorozzo's: As good Italian as any you'll find in St. Louis. Of course, that's where the Gorozzo family is from and my favorite dish is Linguine alla frutti di mare which is pasta with a spicy cream sauce and lots of shrimp, clams and scallops with little bits of mushrooms and tomatoes. Rudy's Tnampa Taqueria (Westport): One of the most reasonably priced places in KC..They have the greatest fish tacos in a crisp flour tortilla topped with fresh pico de gallo and a habanero sauce to die for! (My personal everyday favorite) Danny's Cajun at 17th & Main: I've heard it's the best. I'm going there next week for a birthday bash. I'll let you know what I think. > Let me know when you'll be in KC. I'll second that! Have fun! Michelle in KC Mike Pierce wrote: > Myron, > If you come to KC you must have the BBQ.
