I texted Tyler Stewart about a meal for my family. He asked me what time worked for me and had it ready!! After a long day with the kids, it was wonderful to be able to pick up a meal from a place that I knew was taking the precautions to be clean and sanitary. Tyler even carried the food out to my car for me. Now for the food... I ordered bbq. He gave us pulled pork, Mac and cheese, beans and a salad, as requested. They even gave us brownies! I consider myself a "snob" when it comes to Mac and cheese because I'm basic and it's one of my favorites. Southern accents is Top 2 for sure!!! Next to my mommas ;). The food was delicious to say the least. It brings tears to my eyes that my local lawrence community is so caring and is taking care of each other.

We heard about Burning Barrel and Origin Restaurant from a friend and quickly booked tickets online…read morefor one of their first weekends of service. We were not disappointed. We arrived on the farm (after our Ford GPS took us a wonky route along a few miles of dirt road--so make sure you stay on paved roads and you won't have trouble--I was told by Kristin, our host and one of the owners, that Google Maps has no problem). I have to share our experience in detail because I feel we discovered a new must-visit experience in the KC area! We arrived at the 30-acre farm, parked in the field, and were greeted by our server who welcomed us warmly and offered us an arrival cocktail to sip while we explored the truly lovely grounds, pond, and nearby goats. After our leisurely stroll, we returned to the dining pavilion and found our seats at the gorgeous (and massive!) live-edge dining table along with a menu specifically for this weekend. Our gracious host Kristen and server brought out our first drink pairing, a minted lime seltzer that was refreshing and light. Our first course arrived--Blue Jade cornbread with arugula, sweet pea salad, and chicken liver paté. The cornbread was unlike any I had before and was absolutely delicious. The sweet pea salad was literally bursting with flavor the peas were so fresh and the chicken liver paté out of this world. Such an interesting flavor profile and combination. The next beverage pairing arrived a short time later as we enjoyed the perfect evening, a blackberry purple basil shrub. This drink was also delicious and refreshing (and save that blackberry for last--what a treat!). The Mangalista pig, we were told, is the "wagyu of pork" and the crisp, tasty, marbled pork chop was excellent. It was served with a beet "kimchi" with fennel root and a sheep cheese dumpling that was creamy and flavorful. Finally, our coffees were served and a dessert of yellow squash cake, lemon honey ice cream with mulberry compote was brought to us. Again, the dish was original, delicious, and a perfect ending to our meal. We can't wait to come back and have try a new menu in the future. Such a perfect evening and the chef has such an exciting vision for hyper-local farm-to-table flavors and dishes.

The agriculturalist and host Kristen is genuine and lovely. We will definitely return. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

I went to a Lunch meeting Tuesday with the expectation of another so-so meal. It had just snowed…read moreanother 6 inches and was FREEZING outside. Instead, I was greeted by a large bowl of spring greens. Strange, I thought. It's February and -15 out and we are eating salad? I inserted the tongs and was surprised by pops of red, orange, yellow and black. There was fresh fruit hidden under the greens. Where do you find handsome blackberries and bright shiny strawberries this time of year? I sprinkled some sweet scented vinaigrette across the top and moved on to a warm dish of moist (some people have an aversion to this word, but is was) chicken. I may have added more than my share. I next encountered a mountain of flaky pull apart garlic bread. It was still warm (from the oven in my mind) and couldn't wait to peel the layers into my mouth. It may not be pc to do, but oh well. Finally, the glory of dessert. It's why everyone pays for lunches with subpar food. The hope that the dessert trumps what you have already eaten. The calories don't count as dessert because they are part of the meal. No guilt in my book. Cupcakes!! With a generous helping of delicious sky blue frosting and a little sunflower on top. Never have I been served kid friendly cupcakes at a business luncheon before. I sat down with my small hill of greens, fresh fruit, chicken, biscuits, and the glorious cupcake. I tried to rush through the meal but the salad was fresh, the dressing tangy, the chicken melted in my mouth. I used my fingers to peel the biscuits flaky layers and enjoyed the buttery taste. And finally, plate cleared as my mother taught me, I was alone with the cupcake. Against my childlike urges, I so maturely took my fork and cut a small bite from it's edge. Then another and another. Finally, I was left with an empty foil wrapped. I took my finger, wiped the frosting from the liner and promptly stuck it in my mouth. So much for manners! I have no recollection what the lunch meeting was about, but you can bet I will pay the association fee for the year and enjoy that lunch every month.
