Chef Carl Thorne-Thomsen, Part Three: Get to know Story Restaurant

The Photographs of Ray K. Metzger will be hanging in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art through June 5. But they’ll be up a lot longer at Story Restaurant in Prairie Village.

The renowned photographer is chef Carl Thorne-Thomsen’s uncle, and it is his work that will divide the dining room from the bar area — local landscapes featured on three glass panels that are 5 feet wide by 7-1/2 feet tall.

Today, Thorne-Thomsen lays out his vision for Story. On Wednesday he talked about how he came to Kansas City, and on Thursday, he explained exactly how he managed to use 11 pounds of butter in one night.
