When Jasper’s Restaurant was in its original location — on the southwest corner of 75th Street and Wornall Road — the servers wore tuxedos, the tables were cloaked in heavy linens and the venue was famous for its many dishes prepared tableside: Caesar salads, steak Diane, bananas Foster and cherries jubilee. Today, in the more casual dining environment at 103rd Street and State Line Road, only one dish is prepared tableside. But Jasper’s may be the only restaurant in the region doing it.
