Concept One will be popping up at Dan Meiners in June

Young chefs have long toiled in obscurity at the salad station, hoping that one day the fish guy doesn’t show up and they get their shot. Nowadays, the future restaurateurs of Kansas City don’t have to wait that long.

Witness Jeff Lefko – a Broadmoor Technical Center graduate – who is bringing Concept One, a farm-to-table pop-up restaurant, to the Dan Meiners Studio from June 18 through June 21. Lefko has partnered with fellow Broadmoor graduate Elise Landry on the planning and menu. Concept One will seat 65 people per night for a $60 three-course dinner. The Pitch caught up with Lefko and Landry via e-mail to find out about their project.
