I am so excited to share my new book “Unique Eats and Eateries of Kansas City” with all of you! I spent a year visiting more than 100 iconic restaurants, learning the stories and meeting the people behind the food, and it was quite the challenge deciding which eateries to put in the book. I am also honored to be the first Unique Eats book that Reedy Press is publishing in all color! Past books contained all black and white pictures except for a section in the middle. In my book, every restaurant gets color photos in their spread. The book looks so much better and is much more appealing. Reedy Press actually priced the book at $27, and that is what Amazon and bookstores will also charge. I am charging $24.99 because I want you to buy it from me so I can autograph it for you! Plus, you’ll get a free restaurant checklist bookmark made from butcher paper so you can check off the restaurants as you visit them.

My wife Chrissy thought it would also be fun to design a fun “Kansas City Foodie” T-shirt and sell it with the book. Kristin Antilla owns Hello, Logo, a T-shirt design company. We met her when she donated her time and resources to make #StewartStrong shirts after Chrissy was diagnosed with cancer. We turned to her for help. She designed the shirt, and I insisted it be the softest cotton available. They are Bella Canvas, and I guarantee you will love the feel of it against your body. We are offering the shirts in three colors: blue, red, and heather gray. We are also offering it in long or short sleeves. Your choice. Order as many as you want! If you spend more than $50, I’ll give you 10% off your entire order. If you spend more than $100, I’ll throw in free shipping, too.

One more thing. Many of you might want to order the book on Amazon or buy it at a bookstore. That is your perogative. But just so you know, when you buy it on Amazon or at the store, I make $1 off that sale. When you buy it from my website, I make more. When you buy it directly from me, you are supporting a local author who spent many, many hours putting this book together. Plus you get a free bookmark. And a signed book. And you can’t get the ultra soft Kansas City Foodie t-shirts anywhere but here.

I appreciate you buying my new book and T-shirts, and I encourage you to share the book with others. Go have a fun date night exploring all the great tastes Kansas City has to offer. Thank you for your support!
