Restaurant Week 2014 is here!

January means that it's time for Kansas City Restaurant Week! Once again, McCoy's and Beer Kitchen are taking part. You can get a $15 lunch or $33 dinner at either spot, with your choice of a few options. And each time you eat a Restaurant Week meal at any of the participating restaurants, a portion of the proceeds will benefit charities around Kansas City.

At McCoy's, lunch gets you two courses of your choice below, and dinner gets you a pick from each course! And a house-made beer would compliment any of these very nicely...

Starter
PEI Mussels
Charred jalapeno cream and spicy sourdough
House-Made Kielbasa
Crispy potato pancakes and Dijon creme fraiche
Flatbread
Kale, brussel sprouts, apple, templeton rye vinaigrette, goat cheese, wood fired flatbread

Entree
Cabernet Braised Short Ribs
Horseradish mashers, and buttered greens

Roasted garlic spinach risotto and Parmesan butter

Miso fried faro and baby bok choy

the Cabernet short ribs. mmmmmmmm

Dessert

Mini Fruit Cobbler of the Day
Select ice cream

Same deal at Beer Kitchen, pick two at lunch and three at dinner, but different menu.

Starter
Red and Gold Beet Salad
With mix greens, spicy goat cheese, and walnut vinaigrette
Hand Cranked Short Rib Banger
With pork belly hash and smoked tomato cream
Lobster Deviled Eggs

Entree

That all sounds fantastic. Now if you'll excuse me, I believe a hot caramel and stout brownie sundae is calling my name.
