The superstars of WWE’s Monday Night Raw rumbled at the Sprint Center last night. There were plenty of screaming children and grown men with championship belts in the crowd, rooting for their favorite gladiators. The evening culminated with the return of the Undertaker, who stared down his rival Triple H and restarted their feud leading to their showdown at WrestleMania…
The Life Files Even small phones raise a big etiquette question. Faced with an indeterminate wait, odds are you’re going to check your cellphone at some point. Whether it’s for work or simply to update your Facebook status, you’ll have your nose buried in a tiny blue screen for a few minutes. The Los Angeles Times looks at how restaurants…
Beyond the Boxscore With pitchers and catchers set to report for the Kansas City Royals on February 20, now is right about the time that baseball begins to creep back into our lives. And Beyond the Boxscore has done a lot of the hard work up front for you, putting together a “Graphic Look at the Window to Win” for…
Chris Mullins Chocolate Ale hits store shelves today. Get your elbows sharpened and your tongue honeyed; it’s Chocolate Ale day here in Kansas City. Let’s just keep our wits about us, leave the pepper spray at home and instead focus on how we can all end up with a bottle or glass of the collaboration between the Boulevard Brewery and…
Kansas City garage-rock trio the Cave Girls release their self-titled debut EP this weekend. The threesome plays Saturday, February 4, at the Brick and is joined by two new local acts: the I’ms (featuring members of the Abracadabras and the ACBs) and Thee Devotion (featuring members of Emma Feel and the New Lost Souls).

On Saturday, Versus organizers Reach, Sephiroth, Trystyl and Vertigone hosted well over three hours of DJ and rap battles at a packed Riot Room. If VS-Mini is just the lead-up to Versus 5, we definitely have something to look forward to this summer. Categories: Music Tags: versus, vs-mini
You can easily make a meal out of the Shahrazad Cafe appetizer plate. Rashid Khalaf opened his Middle Eastern market — with its shelves laden with a fragrant array of herbs, spices, coffees and teas, imported candies and sweets, flavored tobaccos and elaborate hookahs — last spring. The adjoining cafe wasn’t officially ready until last October. But Rashid is now…
Portugal. The Man I present to you (for the first time in the last few weeks) a big list of incoming artists. Lots of good stuff, but the best (in my opinion) is the return of Portugal. The Man. The grime-y soul-groovers will perform at the Beaumont on April 30 at 8 p.m. Support from the Lonely Forest. Here are…
Ashford Stamper Earlier this month, Fat City took a look in the rearview mirror and bid farewell to all of the restaurants that closed in 2011. It was a bittersweet list, to say the least. We’re already keeping a tally of the restaurants that have been declared morte in 2012 (not nearly as many, we hope). You see, in the…
The Pie Bakery in Overland Park sells big pies and little pies. Don’t worry if you can’t find Whitney Davison’s two-month-old Pie Bakery right away. The former librarian opened her baking business last November in a former Pilates studio at 12635 Metcalf — it’s in the same shopping center as House of Denmark, Chosun Korean Barbecue, and Shahrazade Cafe &…
If Missouri hadn’t left the Big 12 for the SEC, this dreadful video should have gotten ’em kicked out. Fifth Down, did you really have to give KU fans more ammunition? Hang your heads, Antlers.

Michael Brillhart is hoping to make Thai food a bit less intimidating with his new restaurant, Sweet Siam, which opened this past Friday in the former Mezzaluna space at 7809 Quivira in Lenexa. “We want to have something for everyone, and that includes people that have been dragged to a Thai restaurant,” Brillhart says….
Eater The unholy progeny of Cinnabon and Taco Bell. We American eaters may be collapsing under the weight of our own appetites, yet up until now, we’ve been fat but functional. Taco Bell may be ending the gravy times, however, with its foray into breakfast, aka FirstMeal. Categories: Dining, Food & Drink
NewsOK This is where we are with Lisa Irwin’s story. At some point in nearly every tragic story, the media seem to lose sight of the reason that the story was tragic in the first place. Allow us to call this the Dr. Phil moment. The case of Lisa Irwin — a baby who has now been missing for a…
Citypages Does Bell’s brew for you? Regular folks have Christmas. Beer nerds have Bell’s Hopslam Ale. The annual winter seasonal from the brewery in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is made in limited quantities that seem to be gone all too quickly. Tonight at 7 p.m., the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium (101 E. 13th St.) is tapping a cask. Bell’s calls Hopslam Ale…
