Story Restaurant opens today in Prairie Village

The doors to Story Restaurant (3931 West 69th Terrace) will officially open in 30 minutes. The new restaurant from chef Carl Thorne-Thomsen (featured earlier this month in Fat City’s three-part chef-interview series) and his wife, Susan, is located in the Village Shops. The pair are hoping to create a neighborhood spot, wherein folks can stop by for a few small plates or a sit-down dinner.

“Our appetizer menu will be about twice as long as our entree list.

That’s so you can feel like you can come in and get a bite and a glass

of wine or a beer. It’s meant to be casual,” Thorne-Thomsen says.
