Food and Drink Restaurants ideas outside of BBQ realm - Page 8

**luv** · 08:05 AM

Alrighty. We're looking at going to Michael Smiths. We were looking at Bluestem, but the price was just out of what we were looking to spend. My boyfriend decided on Michael Smith's because he has received a Michelin star, and the price is just about where we are comfortable spending. Just thought I would see if anyone has eaten there, or if you know of any other restaurants with Michelin star chefs in the area.

I second Strongside's recommendation for Succotash, which has great food in a cozy atmosphere. It's a breakfast/lunch place, near Hospital Hill & Crown Center. They are open Monday, closing at 3 pm. It's one of those places in an older building that looks like it was decorated by thrifty, fun hipsters. Wonderful place if you like great food in a cozy, quirky setting. The menu has very wide appeal for such a small place, and everything is made well. I think anyone would like it, from picky vegans to hearty carnivores.

We have a chain of 3 Mexican grocery stores in the area and they all have a restaurant in them some small with lunch counters and one huge location. The food is great and the prices cheap. I just wish they had a menu with no prices on it as 2 can eat well for 12 bucks and I do mean well.

Guanajuato Grocery Store and Restaurant Indy and surrounding cities

when did you eat at daisy's?

cooper barrett · 10-29-2017, 02:19 PM

I was there one evening at the end of January '17, I had just driven in from FT Wayne for a family emergency There was all kinds of family BS going on.and I was busy taking notes and didn't pay attn to where Greg took me. I've known him for nearly 40 years and he never has forced me eat dog food before... so what the hell. I remember seeing the Hot Rocks store and questioned where we were. He just told me Kansas Ave. I nodded and went back to the phone. I have never been in the area at night.

I had the Al Pastor torta with avocado. It was ****ing great and came with tons of killer fries for $6!!! (Cheap) Greg had the chili rellano, as he always does when he tries a new place, and said it was great. It sure looked good. I tried the Tomatillo salsa, it rocked!. I thought about ordering the tamales (I love good tamales) but I was too tired to be disappointed with shitty tamales. Any good?

I like Carniceria Guanajuato(Indy) better, as Daisey's isn't in the same league.(sorry) They are very much equals when you put equal menu items against each other

CG's offers beer, table or counter service, and a much more diverse menu. Don't get me wrong, I would go back to Daisy's in a heartbeat if I was within shouting distance but I will suffer with CG til then.

Lots of talk about Stroud's. I have only been once and when I went is was fine...just fine...nowhere near all the fanfare it gets but that was only one sitting and I should give it another whirl.

For me the best fried chicken in the area is at Rye and it is not close.

The Rieger does some of the best work in town. Chef Hannah is just the best dude and such a cool advocate for the KC scene.

Check out the menu....its not crazy or weird but not for everyone either.

Stroud's is hot garbage. The best fried chicken in the city is served at Red Door Grill on Thursdays. It's the only day that they sell it because they marinate it all week. It's served with Jalepeno Dipping Sauce that makes you want to slap your mother.

Strongside · 10-29-2017, 09:39 PM

I should have added In-a-tub to my list. Any place that puts Mac n cheese powder on their tacos is a winner in my book.

I used to really like the Liberty location with all the Ford guys drinking their lunch at 8PM!!!!

I always liked drinking there right up with Nick and Jakes especially on drink nights. I seem to like to find smaller, more intimate places to eat that prepare more of their food from scratch. Salad from a bag? No thanks.

The bad thing is that places like that can't compete with 54th and still sell fresh chicken strips and house made poppers when 54th opens a bag and drops them in the fryer with no labor cost.

Personally I can't handle Chili's nor Applebee's but can see where people could compare them with 54 and that neighborhood grill and bar concept.

One thing I know for sure those other places can't even come close to making Gringo Dip.

I remember that stuff. I used to get a side to go on fries when I ate lunch up there...I remember those lunches; burger, fries, and 4 shots of tequila, I don't know how those guys went back to ford and worked. At least they were "skilled" workers and didn't build trucks.

**Bearcat** · 11-01-2017, 08:56 AM

It's a little crazy that I've been eating at 54th Street for over 20 years now, and I've hit most of them.... the original two (before they moved it to Zona), Zona, Liberty, by the triangle, St Joe, St Louis (which apparently now has 5 of them)....

Tried the fried chicken fry Rye on Sunday. It was cooked to perfection, but I found the overall flavor to be somewhat bland. Not bad, just not "delicious" or the best I've ever had.

Strouds off of Holmes was amazing, had some of the best flavored fried chicken I've ever come across. But when that location closed down, all the flavor went with it. Hard to call yourself a great fried chicken place when the best thing you have going for you is your potatoes and green beans (they are amazing though).

Still need to try Red Door Grill though.

Wasn't the 1st on N Oak and Englewood 56th st

12 in TX
8 StL including Wentzville
8 KC
and a couple of strays.

I used to go to the Englewood location when it first opened I think the Chevy dealership was Courtesy before becoming Van again.

I had my own bottle of 1842 Jameson's in Liberty
