		<title>Places I Want to Eat at in Kansas City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, since I told you that I want to be a foodie, I thought maybe I should start a list of the places that I&#8217;d like to visit in the near future.  This list should contain the best of Kansas City and/or the most interesting.  Basically, these should be the places that you must try [...]]]></description>

		<title>JULIAN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I enjoyed a nice evening at Julian in Brookside.  I had heard a little about this place, but not enough to have too many pre-conceived notions about what to expect.  What I did know is that the chef is a bit of a celebrity in Kansas City.  This is James Beard award winning chef Celina [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avenues Bistro &#8211; Leawood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Avenues has not been on my list of places in KC that I want to try, but not because I haven&#8217;t heard good things. Actually I have been there several times already, but it was never an ideal situation. Previously I had been there for a business lunch or two and found the menu to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our First Cookout Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, we had a couple of family members in from out of town. We decided to have a get together with everyone in my wife&#8217;s family, which is a large family. It was decided that we would have a cookout and our house was offered as the venue.  In the end, it worked out [...]]]></description>

		<title>ingredient</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunday afternoon was my first time to visit ingredient restaurant on the plaza.  I don&#8217;t know anything about the history of the restaurant, but I thought it was interesting that the sign says &#8220;Chef Owned!&#8221;, especially now that I see on their website that there are nine locations and that this is a franchised concept.

		<title>Justus Drugstore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re not familiar with Justus Drugstore, you need to be.  Chef/Owner Jonathan Justus and his wife Camille opened a restaurant several years back in the old pharmacy that his mother had worked at for decades.   This is just one of the many things that makes dining here a memorable experience.  Situated in an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Culinary Center of Kansas City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended my first class tonight at the Culinary Center of Kansas City.  No, this is not a large university culinary program, but a small building with two demonstration kitchens in a turn of the century buggy barn in the heart of downtown Overland Park.  This place seems to have a little bit of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>I want to be a foodie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Am I already a foodie? Are you born that way, or is it something you develop over time? For starters, let&#8217;s define foodie? Wikipedia: An informal term for a particular class of aficionado of food and drink. Urban Dictionary: A person that spends a keen amount of attention and energy on knowing the ingredients of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dickey&#8217;s Barbecue Pit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many members of my family met up today at Dickey&#8217;s Barbecue Pit in Overland Park on 121st Street.  Apparently this is a franchise restaurant with two locations in Kansas as well as a presence in most states in the United States.   The Dickey family opened the first location in Dallas, TX in 1941.   It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discounts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Discounts, sales, clearances, blue light specials. Whatever you want to call them, they only serve to confuse the customer. Confuse them into thinking they are getting a good deal, whether they really are or not. How many times have you found yourself looking at a clearance rack of clothing that says 30% off and in [...]]]></description>
