Charles on the radio

Charles Ferruzza will be on the Walt Bodine Show this morning at 10 a.m. on KCUR 89.3 to talk about the city’s best outdoor dining experiences. A moment of silence should be in order to commemorate the passing of Joe D’s patio, which was always the place to see and been seen during the summer in Brookside. (When Celina Tio’s Julia(n) opens in that space it will no doubt become just as popular.)

Then there’s Cafe Trio’s large new patio, which offers an elevated view of the Plaza. But the ultimate Plaza people-watching tables are still at The Classic Cup.

For more places, listen to the show on KCUR 89.3 FM or stream it live from the station’s Web site.

Community radio station KKFI 90.1 hosts its second-annual “Chocolate Fantasy Night” tonight at Californos. The event features snacks, a cash bar and enough chocolate to make Willy Wonka sick. There will also be door prizes and an auction of gift baskets (both chocolate-related and not) as well as a blues band.

The event is from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m., and all ages are welcome. Tickets at the door are $15 or two for $25 if you buy early online here or by calling KKFI at 816-994-9799.
