Why would you even think of eating fake Italian food in Kansas City?



Yesterday's announcement regarding the three fake-ass Italian eateries coming to Electric Avenue only strengthens my belief that the place will ultimately fail and is unwisely competing with even better Kansas City based restaurants.

Local blogger Jim shares my view (at least concerning KC's authentic Italian cuisine) and better local options than P&L District fare.

Normally, I don't like Italian food at all (too expensive and reminds me of a nasty ex-girlfriend) but I'd have to say that if eating at the P&L District means eschewing KC Classics like Cascone's, Garozzo's and Anthony's . . . Well, then fughetaboutit.

Note: TKC doesn't really like Italians or their food (since most of them have long forgotten about their illegal immigrant roots) but my point is still valid.

It's OK Tony, Italians aren't that crazy about you either. Although you're so devoted to your mother that you COULD pass as a paisano.

I thought a paisano was a little thin cracker?

How do we know that Cascone's, Garrozo's, or Anthony's even tried to get a place in the new district? Were they rejected or something? I doubt it. I guarantee that any established KC business that wanted to could find their way into a downtown establishment.

I've heard that various KC places were offered spots at the KCPL District. However, the amount they wanted to lease those spots were insane, so no one local took them up on it.

Chasing immigrants in KAW country.
Ha! Yourself is denying truth. Are you stoned or is you stupid?
You think we are on your side, when the truth is, you are all on their side.
We don't play Choctaw Bingo, fool.

Tony is Italian. You cannot tell me that Botello is not an Italian last name.

I've heard that Botello is actually a Portuguese name. But I'm a Mexican-American or Chicano or Latino. Whichever you prefer. But most people just call me Tony or a racial slur of their preference.

Tony,

You don't know what you are? How is that possible? Don't feel bad. Scooby Doo was a mutt. But if you are portugese, then you don't get to claim to be mexican since the portugese didn't go to mexico.

You need to renounce this life of lies you have been leading.

Maybe have a nice loose meat sandwich and think it over. Have a Dr. Pepper too. That goes good with loose meat.

If you hate downtown so much, why did you just list 3 restaurants in or within seconds of the loop?

Hey Tony, regardless if your a Paisan or a Mexican, I can pretty much guarantee that you have one of those cheesy ass "Scarface Collages" in your living room. You know, the one you get at that kiosk in the mall. They sell those fake bling necklaces with the "dubs" on them as well. You prolly got one of those too. And pull your fucking pants up and wear a belt for god sakes and get the hell off my lawn!
