Grub Street posted the above photo from Passive Aggressive Notes, in which a waiter apparently had a sitcom moment, suggesting that…
Gov. Jay Nixon after finding out his son was caught with weed. Did you know that Columbia’s marijuana laws are among the most lax in Missouri? It’s true.

So it’s not the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore, Le Fou Frog makes Fifth Street seem Parisian. The story behind Le Fou Frog goes like this: In 1996, Marseilles-born chef Mano Rafael was working at a private dining club and was not very happy. “He called me one day and said, ‘I can’t take it anymore. Let’s open our own restaurant…
buzzfeed Guess what’s coming for dinner? Go ahead, foodies, and cook up a pot o’ penis this week. There are a lot of available choices. “Goat penis,” says Texas-based chef Jacob Weaver, “is gray and nondescript, with a rather bland taste but surprisingly crunchy texture.” Yes, people do partake of professionally prepared penis. I don’t believe I’ve yet noticed a…

Forester Michael Around 12:30 a.m. outside the Brick on Saturday, a leather-clad woman with a crew cut affirmed that she had had it with the youngsters’ rock and roll: “The older I get, the less I wanna play with douche-y slackers.” She wasn’t talking about the Crossroads Music Festival. The proud woman’s point was that she wanted to play with…

Architecture firm BNIM has posted a time-lapse video of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts’ construction from summer 2009 to summer 2011. It’s pretty cool stuff, although it could use a soundtrack. This might be a good one given the tips to Tony’s Kansas City about the center being a magnet for UFOs. H/t: TKC.

The Other Side of the Hill Super cold is the new cold. I understand where you’re coming from, Coors. When you can’t focus on taste or bottle shape, you’re basically left with only one alternative: temperature. Hence, you’ve decided to expand on your cold activation concept that saw the mountains on a Coors Light label magically change color to blue…
Is Oklahoma headed west? We’re only nine hours into Monday, and Saturday seems so far away. Conference realignment chatter took a break for actual games over the weekend, but now it’s Monday and the talk returns to the Big 12’s future (or lack thereof). Chip Brown of Texas’ Rivals website Orangebloods.com is reporting that the University of Oklahoma is ready…
If Sadbastardville were a real place, Tim Kasher would be its poet laureate. This is not meant to be derisive, because we’ve all been there. Lived there. Still reside there. Keep a vacation home. Something like that. Despite a bio claiming he’s from Omaha (which, to be fair, bears a striking resemblance to Sadbastardville), Tim Kasher was born in Sadbastardville…

Adventures in Blue Are you a meat enabler? In my life, I’ve witnessed two vegetarians cross back to the dark side and scarf down some animal flesh. The first did it for love, knowingly eating turkey tacos in the mistaken belief that eating meat was the key to demonstrating fealty to another person. The second was Saturday night at Willie’s,…
The Kansas City Chiefs suffered the franchise’s worst opening-day loss in the franchise’s history, getting scorched by the Buffalo Bills 41-7. And, yes, it gets worse. Second-year safety Eric Berry suffered a knee injury that’s feared to be serious. Getting blown out by the Bills sucks, but losing Berry for any amount of time would really hurt. We should know…
