• Diary of a Blue Suit Mom
• Bobby Flay is part of a pack of celebrity chefs coming to KC.

Perhaps they can just sense a burgeoning food culture or the presence of a collection of kitchen citizens hungry for more than tips doled out 30 minutes at a time.

And whether you’re the one responsible for dinner nightly or simply setting the DVR to record a nightly reality cooking show, odds are that you’re going to want tickets to see some of the celebrity chefs coming to town.
