The fountain’s next phase includes building additional bluffs and adding a water feature. A fourth sculpture of a native Kansa hunter stalking a beaver was ceremoniously unveiled amidst the day’s activities. If you’ve not been (I hadn’t), the Northland fountain features three heroic bronze sculptures (French trader François Chouteau and two representations of Native Americans, who founded our city when they built a trading post here in 1821). The François Chouteau & Native American Heritage Fountain was the perfect backdrop for this special celebration. On a particularly balmy Saturday morning, I was up early to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Missouri’s becoming the 24th U.S. And that’s how you throw an opening/anniversary party! Next on my wish list? The You’re So Cheesy with Cheetos, Cheez-its, Cheddar Goldfish, and salted caramel. The Fair Grounds featured their vanilla soft serve, Pop Rocks, Kool-Aid candied popcorn, and a cotton-candy halo encircling the cone. Practically immobile at this point, I went for something simple. I could not resist the strawberry rhubarb mule (made with a super tart strawberry rhubarb jam), and later switched to the breakfast sangria, which turned out to be just as perfect at an evening hour.įinally, after treating us with the Sully’s dessert knots (fried pillowy blobs of their pizza dough, tossed in Oreo crumbles and icing- genius), they guided us to Frozen Gold for our choice of ice cream. As we ate our way through the menu, those behind the Atomic Cowboy bar kept us in good spirits. Thankfully, I have enough leftovers for 17 weeks. Ours was a classic pepperoni (my fave), and it was stupendous-instantly tying my other favorite pizza joint in town, which was, in my mind, an impossible feat. Or, out late in Westport and need a quick snack? You can also pick up this heavenly pizza, by the slice, via their walk-up window until midnight on weekends. A whopping 26-inch gleaming pie of perfection: known aptly as the “big ass pizza.” If you don’t need to feed a small village, one can also order more modest sizes. What’s a burger without fries, you might ask? Sully’s (loaded) fries came in tow-waffle fries covered in that same sausage or veg gravy, pimento cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.Īnd last but not least, from Sully’s menu was, of course, pizza. It was one of the best burgers I’ve had in KC. The Lights Out Burger is a double smashed burger (think: Town Topic thin) with aged American cheese, house-made pickles, onions, and Big Mac-like sauce, all sandwiched inside a garlic butter toasted brioche bun.

For next time, I already have my eyes on the biscuit potpie and the strawberry shortcake (made the proper way-with biscuits). A sweeter option that can be made even sweeter by subbing the biscuits for French toast.īesides fried chicken on your fluffy biscuits, options abound-including sausage patties, eggs, pork belly barbecue, and even fried catfish. (We got to try both, and the mushroom option was surprisingly delightful.) Lola is another biscuit sandwich with fried chicken but covered in an octopus of bacon strips and honey butter, resting in a wading pool of syrup. Franklin is a fried chicken biscuit sandwich with bacon and cheddar cheese, smothered in sausage gravy or a vegetarian mushroom gravy. Among their two top sellers are The Franklin and The Lola. One of my favorite food groups, a biscuit can serve as quite the versatile medium for menu creativity. The name gives away the star of the show on this menu-freshly baked buttermilk biscuits. First up were fan favorites from Denver Biscuit Company. And so, I grabbed my neighbor BFF, and we settled in for an evening of mass stuffing and sampling. ![]() While this eatery and drinkery managed a successful opening amidst the pandemic, they prudently decided that a celebration would have to wait. But the wait made this night all the more sweet-and savory. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s the first combined opening/one year anniversary party I’ve been to. But, due to-you know-it just finally got a proper opening celebration. After all, it’s been open for roughly a year. ![]() Perhaps you’ve been to the 6,000+ square-foot former ice manufacturing plant in the heart of Westport-now a four-concepts-under-one-roof mecca, comprised of the Denver Biscuit Company, Fat Sully’s Pizza, Atomic Cowboy, and Frozen Gold. ![]()
