If you’ve been hoping to get a peek at Rye, the new concept from Megan and Colby Garrelts, before 2013, it looks like you’re in luck. The Kansas City Business Journal reports that Rye (10551 Mission, Leawood) has an opening date: Thursday, December 20.

Back in September, Fat City sat down with the chef-owners behind Bluestem to talk about managing (the now shuttered) Trezo Vino, how they would split their time, and the concept of Midwest fare. Rye is located in the former Lakeside Tavern space in Mission Farms. The menu is online.
