Nestled on a hill right up from the Crossroads Arts district, just adjacent to the Quality Hill neighborhood, is this totally funky area in Kansas City that I think is called Westside. It's where I went last Friday. Last Friday when I was not working. Unlike this Friday when I am working.
There is a lot to see here - people, buildings, restaurants, porches, flowers, crepes.... We ate at Chez Elle which was a totally delightful eating experience. I had the one with smoked salmon, artichokes, carmelized onion, herbed cream cheese, creme fraiche and capers. I gave it a 100 + swoon rating. We also walked by plenty of other places that demand closer scrutiny on another day off.
I love it when one adventure leads to another adventure.
The Quality Hill neighborhood? If I live there, it would probably be in the Okay neighborhood but I might like SAYING Quality Hill.

Thought of you with the latest Anthony Bourdain show. He was in Kansas City and eating only at BBQ places. Your divine crepes look much more alluring. Love it when one thing leads to another.

You find the most interesting places to explore...we have nothing like those in this plastic city, land of the fake. I avoid The Strip like the plague...give me the wide open spaces and no tourist traps.
The crepes sound heavenly!

Your pictures (and post about Fervere) led me to the Westside yesterday. I got the last loaf of bread and had wonderful lunch at Westside Local. Thanks for the nudge into wonderful Friday.

Beth! give us a review of Westside Local - I saw that when I was up there and plan to visit... and what loaf of bread did you get?

Until I read the comments, I wasn't sure what "the one" was but with those ingredients, you certainly couldn't go wrong. Yum!
