Scouting KC : You Say Tomato
In the past week, Garrett and I have been to You Say Tomato THREE times. That's right... we've gone to eat here three times in seven days. We visited YST for the first time, last weekend, as the result of a little internet research. We quickly decided to become regulars after we discovered some delicious food and very welcoming, attentive service.
Now, on to what you really want to know about - what did we EAT?! We both had the Breakfast Casserole, made with egg custard, sausage and mushrooms. Oh, and guess what? It's topped with sausage gravy. I'll just let the photo do the talking....
With our casseroles, we ordered a side of Jalapeno Cheese Grits (only served on the weekends, fyi). And yes, they were as amazing as they sound. When we went back for breakfast during the week, we had a quiche that was absolutely divine and chock full of vegetables. I have a feeling you can't order a bad dish at this place. Every item on the menu at this little unassuming cafe is homemade with local farm fresh ingredients. And the pies! Did I mention the pies?! YST also carries a large assortment of homemade pies - we tasted the rhubarb and the peach-apricot. Delish! I can't get enough of this local joint....

The Paris of the Plains.
We've been in Kansas City for a little over a month, and I'm starting to have a couple favorites.
I am completely smitten with a fantastic lunch spot called The Farmhouse. This little joint in the River Market uses all local ingredients for a menu that changes with the seasons. So far, every meal I've had here has been absolutely delish! There's also an outdoor patio that will be perfect for the upcoming Fall days. I would definitely recommend the pork sliders... like buttah!
And for dessert, we have Glace - artisan ice creams for the refined palate. Last night, I had a combination of Salted Pretzel and Balsamic Strawberry Ice Cream. Garrett chose the infamous Goat Cheese Ice Cream - he's so predictable ;). I had issues deciding because there were so many mouth-watering options to choose from! And a little story for my NYC friends... I totally tried to name drop "Balthazar" while we were at this adorable little ice cream post, and the woman behind the counter looked at me like I was crazy. We're not in NYC anymore, Toto.
