This former warehouse turned-modern food court in the Crossroads features a number of gourmet restaurants in a modern space. Here’s why it’s worth visiting this winter.
Imagine yourself in the midst of a food court in an airport or a shopping mall. You disappointedly gaze past the outposts of greasy fast food chains and expensive yet mediocre restaurants and wonder, “What if the restaurants here actually served good food?” That, in essence, is the concept behind Parlor, a recently-opened food hall in Kansas City.
Parlor is a bustling food hall which opened in September 2018 on the east side of Kansas City’s vibrant Crossroads Arts District. Located within a modernized 2-story, 18,000 square-foot brick building at 1707 Locust Street, Parlor features 6 upscale counter-serve restaurants that surround the vast-but-cozy seating areas on each floor. The second floor also includes a screened-in patio with a clear view to the west. There, diners can enjoy their food and survey the urban renewal that has taken place in the east crossroads.
The restaurants on the first floor of Parlor are Providence Pizzeria Company, Yaki-Ya, and Farm to Market Sandwich company. Brothers Luke and Aaron Salvatore of Providence, Rhode Island opened Providence Pizza in Grandview before expanding to Parlor. Providence serves pizza Sicilian Pan-style, Detroit-style, and New York-style. The slices are savory and flavorful, and the cannolis are not to be missed.
Yaki-Ya, Japanese for “grill shop,” is a unique Japanese kitchen run by Chef Patrick Curtis. The main attractions on the menu are the savory Japanese pancakes known as Okonomiyaki. These pancakes come in Hiroshima style and Osaka style and feature vegetables, meat, and distinctive sauces. While not for everyone, adventurous eaters will likely enjoy the distinctive fare at Yaki-Ya.
Farm to Market Sandwich company, on the other hand, is a solid choice for the not-so-adventurous eater. Menu items include sandwich staples like the Sourdough Turkey Club and Italian Sub, in addition to the more unusual Oyster Po Boy. The sandwich joint takes its name from Farm to Market Bread Company and is co-owned by John Friend, the owner of Farm the bread company. As such, Farm to Market prides itself on its local bread, which is freshly baked at Farm to Market’s headquarters only a few blocks away.
The second floor features restaurants Sura Eats, Karbon, and Mother Clucker. Chef Keeyoung Kim of Sura Eats aims for a modern Korean dining experience. Customers can choose from a variety of healthy and flavorsome bowls such as Bibimbap, which consists of vegetables served with a choice of beef, spicy pork, or tofu served over rice with a sunny egg.
Next door, Karbon is an intriguing fusion of flavors. There, chef Rachel Rinas blends Middle Eastern and Yucatan cuisine. Menu items like Musakhan Carnitas are uniquely delicious thanks to exotic blends of spices.
Finally, the most popular restaurant within Parlor is a Nashville-style hot chicken joint called Mother Clucker. Chef Derrick Foster serves up blazingly hot fried chicken, along with heavily seasoned fries and artfully crafted milkshakes. The whole experience is a sensory overload. Chicken is available in 6 spice levels, labeled as such:
OG – plain no heat
Weak Sauce – teensy heat
Kickin’ It Up – hint of burn
Cluck Yeah – blazing
Mother Clucker – blazing inferno
What the Cluck – no clucks given bring it
Parlor has been wildly successful since it opened, and its success is representative of Kansas City’s urban renewal. Its location in the East Crossroads, once a semi-industrial wasteland, is now a rapidly developing extension of Kansas City’s Crossroads arts district. As such, those looking for a unique dining experience should pay a visit to Parlor.
