    Fried chicken Thursday!
    Jeremy G.

    Amsterdam MO is the primary example of a town that almost became a ghost town, but is now coming back to life in a big way. Over the past three years, a private citizen's desire to attract people and business to the tiny town about 40 minutes south of Kansas City has paid off in a huge way. People who take a day trip to Amsterdam can shop at a number of awesome little boutique shops and then grab some amazing comfort food at the Amsterdam Cafe. Like most small town cafes, the menu is diverse and you can get anything from a burger, chicken fried steak, or even great salads. The fried chicken is by far the go to entree and the flavor and juiciness is about as good as you can get when it comes to Midwest fried chicken. If you're looking for a day trip excursion from the Kansas City metro area, head down south and check out the tiny little historic town of Amsterdam MO.

    As an "Amsterdammer" myself, I had to check this place out. Due to hot weather conditions and airconditioning problems at the cafe, it closed early. My wife and I still wanted to see Amsterdam on our way to Kansas City, so we stopped by and walked into the Farm Store. Two people sat there talking, one of them was the owner of the cafe. After a chat and introductions, Randy (the cafe owner) offered us the use of the restrooms and even offered to make some food. Wow, what hospitality!! You surely don't find that in the big city! We ended up getting a deep fried pork loin sandwich with curly fries and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite of that. Randy offered us the meal on him...again...WOW! So, we left a nice tip and purchased a mug which I will give to my mother who's actually the true "Amsterdammer" in our family. In any case, I highly recommend a visit to the town and especially to the cafe, where the food is tasty and the portions are huge.

    Okay, win, win, win. I've been wanting to stop by this coffee house for a while, but haven't had…read morethe chance to stop by and check it out because the normal business hours have this place typically close early by 2 PM; however, under a new owner I was informed that they close by 5 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The only reason my husband and I discovered this place opened tonight, Wednesday, was because we had gone to Heroes to eat, and went for an evening stroll. Upon approaching this store, we noticed the bright flashing "Open" sign, and he and I looked at each other, and we are like getting our laptops and heading in. I'm glad we came here on a Wednesday night, and all stars were aligned. The barista was a sweet girl, very accommodating and she made the best hot, dirty chai latte I've had. It wasn't too strong but just right. I already had my fill of coffee for the day, so maybe next time I will try a coffee here.

    Old Drum coffeehouse is located at the very start of Holden street, a cozy coffee shop with the…read moreprofessional grace of any establishment but the innate charm of a hole-in-the-wall. I've been eyeing this place ever since arriving in Warrensburg, Missouri. Walking past it every day during the cold weather weeks, which caused this lovely place to close temporarily, due to the lack of traffic. Now, it is back open, and tending to the locals who come by and set up shop with books and laptops to read and do some work. Upon arriving I was greeted with a smile by Maggie, their barista for the day. She was very patient and attentive as I made small talk with her, stalling as I decided what to order. I asked what the specials were, as their is a chalkboard on the counter that reads "Barista Favorites", a list of specialty custom drinks made by each individual barista. Hers was the "cinnamon toast crunch latte" consisting of their espresso beans from Colombia, brown sugar syrup, and another secret ingredient I'll have to inquire for the next time I come. It was perfectly foamed and delicious to the last drop. She even popped over to ask how I liked it, hence the 'charm of a hole-in-the-wall'. I see why this place is so loved, and definitely plan to come back again. The food is popular here as well, but I haven't tried it. They have a selection of breakfast sandwiches that are made with a panini machine. Be sure to come before 1pm, because they shut it down for closing around then. If you're a local, or just visiting, this is definitely a shop to visit.
