Cheap Chops

801 Chop House (71 East 14th Street, 816-994-8800) might be among the priciest restaurants in the metro, but not during happy hour. From 3 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, sample the fine offerings of executive chef Christopher Dennis for a pittance. What’s on special? Lamb sliders, mini burgers, lobster corn dogs, shrimp cocktail and oysters are all just $1 each. If you need more than a bite, order fried calamari or sautéed shrimp for $6. Get a pile of can’t-have-just-one Maytag blue-cheese potato chips for $4. Wash down all those munchies with a $6 glass of wine or a $7 signature martini. Beer and well drinks go for $1 off regular price.
