“Democlesian”? Were you referring to the sword of Damocles?
Jasper’s is overpriced and we found the food just edible when we visited relatives in Kansas City....
Also, you wouldn’t “pour over a cookbook”, unless you were a sauce. The correct term would be “pore”, as in “I pored over Lidia’s cookbook”.
You need an editor.
Which is not to say KC doesn't have some fine dining establishments fit for a foodie. It does.
I have an Italian friend and asked him once where he likes to go for Italian food. He said, "my house." His point was why pay for overpriced pasta when he makes it better at home!
One of the most pretentious attempts at a dining and restaurant review I have ever seen.
Lidia’s was much better when they first opened, much better places to eat in Kansas City than at her place. Made the mistake of taking my Chevy Chase Brother in Law there and haven’t been back since.
Whomever this woman might be, she is the most obnoxious, arrogant eatery reviewer the world has every known. I wouldn’t let her recommend dog food. If she wants something really good, I heartily endorse the Country Eggs Benedict at Dagwood’s Diner on Southwest Boulevard, but I doubt that she would share my enthusiasm.
Pretty snarky. The writing style makes you dislike the author so much you want to do the opposite of what they suggest and dine at Lidia’s.
My wife watches all the food shows on TV, so when the Lidia’s opened in KC she insisted we go.
This review is, if anything, much too kind.
Since Jenny’s closed years ago, if you want Italian food in Kansas City, go to Garrozzo’s.
Or come to our house, where Monica’s lasagne has become the family’s Christmas treat.
