Kansas City Reality Check: Crown Center American Restaurant Basically Kaput

Newspaper report focus mostly on presser copy but the reality is that this new strategy leaves servers out in cold and the 4-star dining event "pop-up" plan already seems like a doomed gimmick that hasn't generated much excitement amid the kind of people who would bother to have an opinion on the cuisine for the 1% . . . You decide . . . The American Restaurant sets a new course for 2017

  2. I personally think it's done. I think mom and pop, non chain restaurants don't have a chance anymore. At least in Downtown KC, Crown Center and in Plaza now. It's been that way ever since Italian Gardens closed shop.

  3. 8:52, there are plenty of non-chain restaurants in downtown KC. There are still some in Westport as well, although the chains are moving in. The 39th street corridor has plenty too. The Plaza was lost long ago.

  4. Even though Kansas City is still the kind of place where people who are not morticians put on dark suits and white shirts to go to work every day, it's a wonder a restaurant like that one survived as long as it did. The generation that thought it was hip to eat in places like that has mostly died off .... in fact, they died off a generation ago.
