No restaurants from Kansas or Missouri made it to the final round of Best Chef: Midwest. But the Kansas City area is represented in the categories of Outstanding Bakery and Outstanding Bar.
A Mexican tortilla bakery and a cocktail bar will represent the Kansas City area as finalists in the 2023 James Beard Awards, which is one of the most prestigious recognitions in the American food world.
Drastic Measures in Shawnee, Kansas, is one of five finalists for Outstanding Bar in the U.S. Located just off Johnson Drive, it serves only cocktails — each of which costs $13.
Their current menu includes original drinks like “Kill Bill” (tequila, pineapple, raw ginger, lemon, Thai chile tincture) and the “Pony Boy” (blueberry infused suze, white rum, falernum, soursop, and lime).

..."Some restaurants in the surrounding Kansas City area are also being recognized. Drastic Measures in Shawnee is a semi-finalist for “Outstanding Bar,” and the Restaurant at 1900 in Mission Woods is a semi-finalist for “Outstanding Hospitality.”
Finalists for the awards will be announced March 29, and winners will be chosen June 5 at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Congratulations to all Kansas City-area finalists. We know you do it for the love of hospitality and community, but the glory must feel pretty good too."...
