Which neighborhood has the best eats?

• This is the voice of your inner eater.

We all have a little Jonathan Gold in us. A well-rounded, jovial voice just begging us to stop for once in a strip mall we pass daily or at a restaurant where the eats are better than your attempts at pronouncing the name of a dish. But we also have a lot of our adolescent selves in us. The voice that begs us to go back for a favorite grilled cheese or a comfortable booth and a big scoop of hot fries.

Today, we marry our two competing food guides with the question of which neighborhood has the best eats in the metro area. You can go out as far as Mission Farms or stick closer to downtown with the Crossroads, but you only get what’s in the restaurant radius of your chosen streetscape. If you could eat in only one neighborhood in the Kansas City area for the rest of your life, where would it be? Make your case in the comments.
