Gordon Ramsey Burnt Kansas City News

A few background e-mails remind us that not everybody understands the local news game.

Here's how it works . . . A big company spends a lot of cash on ads. Local stations desperate for that money then assign their rookie, b-list or hack entertainment writers to cover it as just a bit of pay for play that's perfectly legal, objective and pure "journalism" . . . No, it couldn't possibly be quid pro quo . . . Just a friendly exchange of discourse in the marketplace of ideas.

And while we wouldn't dare accuse anybody of this sketchy practice . . . Here's a local magazine that's mostly garbage sponsored content and mostly a glorified catalog . . . The only punchline is that popular local tweets have far more readers. Checkit:

  1. Wish him luck. These casinos have a cycle of restaurants that come and go . This isn’t Vegas .
    The trash that have 20 dollars to gamble don’t have cash to spend 75 dollars on a steak.
    It won’t last, will end up like Guys taco joint in p&l . Crappie service and way to expensive for this town.

  6. No idea...saw the Tomahawk on the meat stand and envisioned it wrapped in Japanese 24 karat edible gold leaf after having been massaged with olive oil, caressed with flavorful dry rub, cooked in a hot oven and finally panseared in an a hot iron skillet amongst butter, garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary. Spooned over and over again...forming a juicy buttery crisp crust locking in the medium rare juices. But I dream. Maybe if the Chiefs are in the playoffs...take one for the team. Yum. Oh the agony.
