Simply put, my relationship with Kansas City Restaurant Week (KCRW) is complicated. In recent years, the promotion does not represent the value it once did. However, it still marks the beginning of the calendar for any Fountain City Foodie. The opportunity to support businesses I love and try new things was too much to ignore. This year, I enjoyed five different spots during KCRW, which I chose to grade on meal quality, service, and promotional value.
