Abstract

This article is an excerpt from Andrea Broomfield’s book, Iconic Restaurants of Kansas City, part of the American Palate series published by the History Press that focuses on iconic eateries that played a significant role in building city-wide and national culinary identities. The excerpt below comes from Chapter Five and explores the tension that medium-sized Midwestern cities experience when restaurateurs open establishments that stretch diners’ wallets and challenge their palates.
