I am the kind of parent that childless people hate. I take my kids to hip restaurants and am not deterred by the complete lack of booster seats, high chairs, or chicken fingers on the menu. I am simply not content to while away my weekends at home or limit our outings to places that have designated stroller parking. I wheel our mammoth double wide into petite boutiques and carry my cooing baby into austere galleries. We boldly go where no family unit has gone before.

Where Did You Do Restaurant Week?

Calling all KC foodies - this is your last chance to sup at some great local spots and benefit Harvesters; KC Restaurant Week 2012 ends today.  There are over 125 participating restaurants with prix fixe offerings to suit everyone’s taste.  

Sadly, I was only able to try one of those tempting offers, but it was a good one! 

During a crazed week that revolved around planning/hosting a Harry Potter themed birthday party for 17 kids under the age of seven, lunch at Story (in the Prairie Village shops) was a wonderful adult respite.  My lovely mother in law treated me, and we both dined on seared Arctic Char and butternut squash bisque.  


The moist, flakey Char was served on a bed of nutty wild rice with brussels sprouts, bacon, and a hint of mustard sauce.


The soup was sweet, smooth, and perfect for dipping our glorious crusty bread in.  

I would love to hear from the readers - where did you do Restaurant Week?
