Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you the Jones Cart…read more I am lucky enough, nay PRIVILEGED, to work in the Armourdale Neighborhood of KCK, which affords me quick and easy access to the KCMO Bottoms. In my ever-lovin' need to find new and exciting experiences with my mouth, I scour the area for interesting places to succumb to the need to be satiated....by delicious food. Last week, I went searching for Hot Dogs. I had remembered in a blink of the eye how I thought I'd noticed a food cart of some sort at the weird gas station at 14th and Wyoming, but since I've always avoided said gas station, and usually am just getting on the freeway there (or heading the opposite direction down Gennessee towards R Bar or Gennessee Royale), I wasn't positive I seen what I saw. So, last Monday, I drove down there, and sure enough, there was a food cart in the corner of the parking lot of said gas station, parked next to a truck, and ready to serve me some delicious, amazing foodal delights. The Jones Cart has no sign. They have a hand-printed menu of what they'd cooked up for that day. They are owned and operated by two amazing sisters who will call you sweet terms of endearment and smile at you with the smiles of women who know how to feed your soul...and know that you know they're gonna do it right, yes sir. So, I drive up, walk up to the cart where I am greeted with the promise of good eatin' just by the smell. But the delivery is as sweet and downhome as the food itself; I am advised that I will taste the best beans ever, that the rib tips are especially great today, that they're out of hot dogs, but when they have them, they're dipped in a sauce that will explain why they sell out so quickly. That they have chicken some days, and that one sister will take your money while the other gets you the plate. I walked away smiling just by having such a wonderful experience just GETTING the food, let alone tasting it yet. I knew right then that I'd be back, and I told them so right then. But then I went to take a bite.... I'd gotten back to my office and had already made my co-workers jealous just by the SMELL they were getting. But the first bite in my mouth...th chewmories...the amazing melting of BBQ'd meat and sauce (on the sweet side) was so incredible that I let everyone know, loud, and often, how they all HAD to go back there with me, and soon. The beans! Holy crap, AMAZING! Not all sticky and gross like a lot of places, but lightly sweet and syrupy with chunks of celery just to give it the slightest crunch. I devoured both the Rib Tips and Beans like I was insatiable...and until that last slop of bread through the sauce, I was....but then, wow, just sitting back and appreciating what could very well rival any plate of BBQ in the city... Today, I went back, and got the aforementioned Hot Dogs. 2, with chips, for $6. Worth the wait. They whipped up a couple of what my buddy Tony was calling a KC Dog, and I chowed down on them like a man obsessed. So. Good. So good. I told the sisters of the Jones Cart that I was gonna go tell all my friends today. This is how I'm doing it. Go down there and get some while they got it, because when they run out, they go home....and hopefully very much appreciated for their fine, fine contributions to the hungry folks of the KC Bottoms and beyond.

My recommendation is to bring a chair and some snacks. Maybe a blanket as well as things tend to get cooler in the evenings. You can also buy popcorn, etc. and wine from food trucks. There was a parody done by students which helped me understand and follow the plot of the actual performance. Then there was a lecture done by a retired college professor who explained the history behind the show. This was hard to find as it was outside what I would call the fair grounds, so I missed the beginning. Then the show, oh my gosh was such high quality. Great acting, costumes, set and even live music. I want my friend from Chicago who is a big Shakespeare fan to come to Kansas City to enjoy this one day. It's worth the trip. Can't wait for next year!

I happened to be waiting in line on opening day at Cafe Ca Phe and found Devoured nearby with not too long of a wait. What a win! The pizza was hot, fresh, and delicious. Unique flavors and cooked to perfection. Don't pass this one up if you see it!

We had the risotto balls as an app, and the sauce they came with I could've drank the whole thing. We tried two different pizzas and they were both great! One was the Newbie and one the Cheesy Bae. Both were fantastic! We can't wait to come back! Their dining room is has a fun retro vibe with a few different seating areas, but if you're a group larger then 4 you may be better off taking it to go.

Organised places to get signatures and meet your favourites. All while stopping by the multiple tents to pick up another Guinness! I expected a few more vendors selling their crafts; however, I understand that to do so has become harder and harder. There is an issue with some crafters using a lot of Cheap AI Art or the overabundance of 3d printed tchotchkes. But, a few more selling good items would have been welcome. I don't think there were more food options to choose from. I, of course, chose items that could be considered standard Irish fare. Too much on while watching the shows. It was a good turnout. Only bad experiences were with other goers who just didn't bother to consider that there were people around them. But, that isn't the norm and were few and far between on the 12 hours that we were there! Note: Love the HIGH KINGS!!!

Photo in indoor light doesn't do it justice. Some of my coworkers waited up to 90 minutes for their food. This is after scheduling him ahead of time, so he wasn't surprised by a sudden crowd. If you're not able to accommodate a group without undercooking the food to a dangerous degree, don't commit to cater a lunch. If you don't know what a medium-cooked burger looks like, invest in a meat thermometer. Also, on a personal level, calling women cutesy pet names in such a contrived manner is super off-putting.

It's so refreshing to be able to have a conversation and coffee and not feel like everyone is sitting on top of each other. The service was fantastic. The baristas seemed like they were genuinely excited to be there. I had the caramel cookie latte and it was delicious!! The mixture of flavoring and espresso was perfect and the waffle cookie on top was a perfect touch. My daughter had an iced teddy graham latte with cookie butter cold foam. It was so good I wanted to order a second latte instead I had to settle for stealing sips. The cookie butter cold foam was so good I could have had a whole cup of it. To eat I had a blueberry fritter that was phenomenal. It wasn't too sweet and very flavorful. I loved that women's sports was on all the tv.
