Westside Local - so the corn queso app was good, the burgers were fine but nothing mindblowing.   Service was actually good.   4.5/7

Restaurant review for most everywhere I ate/drank during my trip to KC. Been to most of these places but a few new ones.

1. Grinders
Sunday afternoon, slice of pepperoni & garlic pizza and a Grinders Lager(?).  Good flavors on the slice, floppy and foldable. Just how I remembered.  Beer was refreshing on a warm day in front of the hot pizza oven. 5.5/7

2. Double Shift
Sunday afternoon, couple of beers and a growler of the lager. The IPAs currently on tap are too aggressively hoppy and citrusy for my taste, but seem to be of a style people like. Lager was good, dunkel was good. Great atmosphere. Been there twice now and haven’t run into KCFDCat. 5/7.

3. The Brick
Monday Night, patty melt, a half dozen pale ales and some rye whiskey. Rural Grit Happy Hour is always a great time.  6.66/7

4. Arthur Bryant’s
Tuesday lunch: Brisket sandwich and fries.  While Bryant’s is wildly inconsistent anymore, when it is good it is great. Brisket on a good day is the best in the city, and this was a good day. Early in the week at lunch seems to be a more consistently good time than weekends there for me over the last ten years.  Got ribs to go which were also pretty solid.
7/7

5. Johnny’s (119th Street)
Tuesday afternoon. Met a buddy for beers and the soccer game. Don’t remember who played at the moment, but it was the game that got tied up in stoppage time so they played another half hour before the team who tied it lost on penalties. Great fun. Solid suburban sports bar. 4/7

6. Some of what we ate on the 4th, 7/7.


6. Failed attempts to go to El Pollo Rey, Tacos on Wheels and Tacos El Tio with 8mandad because apparently all the Mexican restaurants in KCK were on vacation this week. 0/7.

Gave up and went to:
7. Stockyards Brewing (new to me)
Pretty good beer. Scottish ale and pale ales we're good. Neat atmosphere. DJamer was good even if it was a weird and totally unnecessary place for one.  Glad there is at least something going on in the west bottoms.
5/7

8. Brewery Emperial (new to me)
Thursday night: Wood fired half chicken, standing in for El Pollo Rey, and it was really good. Love the space, beer is solid, bartenders were friendly. 6.8/7

9.  The Peanut on Main
Friday Lunch. I rough ridin' love this bar. The area around it has changed a lot, but it is pretty much the same. 3 Wings + Cheese Fries. Boulevard Pale Ale(s). Soccer on TV with mostly non soccer fans there which is entertaining in its own way. Wings/fries were fine. Not the best I’ve had there, but whatever. 6/7

10. Westport Saloon
Friday dinner/drinks. Steak fajita burrito was decent.  Dad’s band was playing which was fun. Beers are pretty cheap, waitresses were good, and the music was good. Smells smoky, shared AC w/smoke shop next door maybe? Fun time. 5/7.

11. Succotash (new to me)
Saturday breakfast. Egg sandwich and blueberry pancake short stack.  Way more food than I expected for $7.60, and good too. Waiter kept the coffee full. Pretty generic hipster brunch joint, but good food and good prices. 5.5/7

Diet starts tomorrow!

Brewery emperial food is awesome....I can't get over something in all of their beers that keeps me from loving the beers...but it's nice to have the full bar option.

I went to LC's for the first time. Their burnt ends are good but their sausage is extraordinary. Like it's the size of a small meat loaf but tastes like perfect bbq sausage, with a nice crispy layer on the bottom. I've never seen anything like it. Smashed their jalep poppers and o rings to boot. They have one sauce and it leans toward the Bryant's end of the vinegary/sweet scale but not quite that vinegary. Pretty great.

Tried Aerojuice for the first time today... Just opened at 11th and grand. The panini was meh (lots of cheese) but the meat was barely there and the bread sucked.... Their juice I got is too clear to actually be just ground up veggies.... Looks like green water.

I saw there was one in Manhattan.... Is my experience typical?

I've tried it more than once and it always sucks.

Waited like 20 minutes for a smoothie once.  Got a berry smoothie another time that had no sweetness which was really weird and terrible tasting.  I'm sticking to smoothie king.
