“Ask not what you can do for your country,” famed director Orson Welles once intoned. “Ask what’s for lunch.”
Welles, a man of considerable girth, knew the importance of this mid-day repast. For all of us, it’s that chance to leave work for a half hour – if you’re lucky, an hour – and savor what tumbles out of a kitchen when the chefs are under deadline pressure.
And yet, taste and speed are not all that matters in these days of tight family or individual budgets. The challenge is to find the most for the least – or in this case, to see just how far a fiver will stretch.
Cindy Hoedel, Kansas City Star Magazine writer and lifestyle columnist, reports that it stretches pretty darn far in and around Kansas City. So here is her collection of “The $5 Lunch Guide,” where you get “A Lot for a Little at 25 Hot Dining Spots.”
Cindy dutifully sampled each and can vouch for both their value and excellent taste.
We’ve bundled them all in this e-book, thinking it a handy guide for your smart phone, tablet, or any other electronic device that you rely on to organize your day.
Because this e-book is a snapshot of what these Kansas City-area restaurants were offering at press time, we encourage you to phone ahead to make sure the dish that Cindy highlighted is still being offered.
Knowing these restaurants, though, it’s likely they’ve committed to a tasty five-spot-deal no matter what.
What’s for lunch? Here, it’s what $5 can buy.
And in Kansas City, that’s a lot.
