As some of you know, Tricia and I are in KC this weekend and today we, along with her brother, had lunch at Grinder’s in the Crossroads District of downtown. Grinder’s is one of my favorite bars here, they have good food, a great beer selection, and interesting decor. I think it’s owned by an artist, so the place is packed with interesting sculptures and art work. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with, so camera phone pics will have to do.
The three of us split a pizza and a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, and both were excellent. I haven’t had many Philly Cheese Steaks, but this was exactly how I imagine the good ones are. Good beef, cheese wiz, onions, and all in a tasty bun.
Grinder’s is also known for their pizza, especially the option of adding tots to any pizza, which is part of what made them famous on the Food Network. We opted against the tots, instead ordered The Hippie pizza with red sauce, green peppers, black olives, spinach, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, & almonds. I don’t think I’ve ever had almonds on a pizza, but they were a nice touch. I think I’d rather have kalamata olives instead of black olives, but it was still a great pizza.
For beers I went with an Avery Salvation and the O’Fallon 5 Day IPA, while Tricia had an Avery White Rascal, all on tap.
Grinders is one of my favorite, non BBQ, places in all of Kansas City, so if you’re ever in town, stop in.
