Thursday’s Soul Food Buffet in Kansas City, Kansas

Richard Mabion — a longtime activist for the urban core of Kansas City, Kansas — doesn’t think Fat City’s beat reporters cross over the Kaw River frequently enough to cover the culinary scene there. “Did you know that the restaurant in the Hilton Garden Inn near the Reardon Center does a soul buffet on Thursdays?” he asked me.

I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t even know that the Hilton Garden Inn at 520 Minnesota Avenue even had a restaurant!
