re: gypsyvice
my sister is a frequent power and light goer and she swears she will never eat at raglan road again. She is no gourmet either. she says the food is terrible. i could ask for specifics, but the sincerity in her tone indicated her and her date's meal was not good. plus she was peeved at the costs as well.

Peachtree open yet? That will be nice; I hope they do well at that location. I am really suprised that another BBQ KC Chain didnt open there - I mean, a Jack Stack or Gates would have done well.....

I haven't seen Peachtree yet.
Has anyone been to the new Bristol? Would appreciate any reports.

I went to Maker's Mark for some late night drinks on a WEEKEND. That was my fault I guess. The group I was with witnessed 2 pukers outside and a guy fell down by the bar and broke a glass. If this is fun in the Power and Lights district, then I don't want any of that.

Tengo Sed Cantina: a good place to qwench your thirst, a bad place to grab a bite. Based on what I've heard about the restos in the P&L, I had low expectations for this place and I would call it marginal at best. The entire P&L was packed for the Police concert, so we ended up here because they had open seating. We ordered queso because they were out of fresh guacamole, and got (LITERALLY) the orange cheese that you would get from a ball park or Taco Bell. Chips were moist, the ones in the botom of the basket were wet, and not crunchy. Halibut tacos were fish sticks in a flour tortilla. Margaritas were fine and the 2 for 1 drink specials were, well, special. The place was slammed, so the service was iffy...but there is no excuse for orange cheese!

From the press release
Chefburger Well known Kansas City chef and local entrepreneur, Rob Dalzell, will open his fourth Kansas City restaurant in the Kansas City Power & Light District. Dalzell, the owner of 1924 Main, Souperman, and Pizza Bella will introduce Power & Light District visitors to his newest concept, Chefburger, in Spring 2008. Occupying a 3,300 sq. ft space, Chefburger will be centrally located in the District, with the front of the restaurant facing the piazza area just south of the Kansas City Repertory Theatre. Previously announced tenants, The Fudgery and Chipotle, will be Chefburger’s neighbors. Chefburger will have a full bar with wine, beer and liquor and will offer outdoor seating where guests can enjoy the view of the fountain and fire feature in the center of the piazza area.
Chefburger is a BYOB (“build your own burger”) joint with a vintage feel and a customizable ordering process which allows diners to choose from four different artisan buns, vegetarian or meat patties, ten different cheeses, twenty-four toppings and eighteen sauces. Classic burger side dishes include fried green tomatoes, popcorn shrimp, mini corn dogs and fried sweet potato fries, along with a number of soups and salads to choose from. Topping off the meal are cool, alcohol-spiked (or not) milkshakes available in a multitude of flavors.
“Chefburger’s motto is ‘We are putting the burger on a pedestal….one patty at a time,’” said owner, Rob Dalzell. “Menus are printed on vintage paper bags, and hungry diners will pick up a Sharpie and mark off all the goodies they want on their burger and the side dishes to go with it. We will work very hard to give the people of Kansas City a burger stand to call their own. More importantly, we’re happy to bring even more local flavor to the Power & Light District.”
