Open: The Cook Shack Cafe

By CHARLES FERRUZZA

The new movie Bottle Shock is based on the real-life story of a former real estate attorney Jim Barrett (played in the film by Bill Pullman) who sacrifices his life savings to open a California vineyard. Much closer to home is the story of retired firefighter Bill Crow, who dreamed of having his own restaurant. Four days ago, Crow threw open the doors to the Cook Shack Café, a breakfast-and-lunch diner at 8950 Wornall.
