Dining Rooms Of Days Gone By

Do you remember the Wishbone, Earl's Hamburgers, Po' Folks, Piccadilly Cafeteria, and the Athena on Broadway?  Well, we do.

On Central Standard Friday, the Food Critics stop by to discuss classic KC restaurants of yesteryear.  Charles Ferruzza of The Pitch and Fat City Blog, Mary Bloch of Around the Block, Gloria Gale of 435 South Magazine, and resident historian Monroe Dodd offer their expertise as we walk down palate-memory lane.

KCUR is here for Kansas City, because Kansas City is here for KCUR.

Your support makes KCUR's work possible — from reporting that keeps officials accountable, to storytelling that connects our community. You can make sure the future of local journalism is strong.
